Topband: T8CC

[Herb Schoenbohm]

Eugene (RA0FF) T88OW has indicated he will be on Palau at the end of 
December for several weeks and will concentrate on 160 and 80 meters.  I 
sent him information about the antennas at the Pacific Palace needing 
repair and i ho0pe he gets the information in time to take some wire 
along for both RX and TX antennas.

So far I have not heard a reply but perhaps this will be the chance to 
finally get T8 on 160.
