Topband: KP1

[Charlie]

Well, Milt

I hope so! I've let my antennas go to blazes for the past couple years while
I've battled the MS that's reared its head in my old age after a long
remission of about 28 years. Lost my topband antennas to a hurricane a few
years back. Need to see if I can get another inverted L with a few elevated
radials up, by January, and put  up a KAZ terminated RX loop pointing south
for them. I  had really great success with the last of those that I built on
160, 80, 40 and 30m. Great RX antenna on my limited real estate! I worked
you folks from VP6DX on several bands, but don't remember if I got you on
topband. Have to check my logs!.  Not a big deal I worked Navassa and
Desecheo years ago, when AA4NC went to KP1 and someone on KP5. But I'd
really like to get something going on 160 again! I expect that the guys that
are going will pay attention to all the more challenging paths. The test
will be whether the USA mob will behave and cooperate!

Charlie, K4OTV

Well, Charlie, I would hope that they will have good RX antennas to all
azimuths, and pay attention to gray line and directional calls for the
non-NA, EU and JA paths.

That is what we did at VP6DX, and it worked superbly.  I have confidence
George and whomever else is on his TB crew will pay careful attention to all
corners of the globe.

Congratulations to the KP1-5 consortium for pulling it off.

will be a USA Fest!

if signal is like KV4FZ or PJ2T we have some posibility, but will be near
impossible to break USA pile up with KP1 RX antennas pointing to the north
:-(
