Topband: TX5T will be QRV on the Low Bands from the Australs !

[Bob Allphin]

Low Band enthusiasts.....
       The 5 man team going to TX5T, Raivavae Island in the Austral group
are pleased to announce that they will be QRV on all bands 160m thru 10m.
(no permit for 60M).  We should arrive August 13th and depart the 22nd.
       The decision has been made to use 18m Spider poles to support a 160m
Tee and an 1/4 vertical on 80m.  Power output will be limited to 500w. 
There are
plans for receive antennas as well.
       On TopBand, our frequency allotment begins at 1830 KHz, so look for
us just above that and likely listening up most of the time, but down for
our friends in JA.  We also expect to be QRV on FT8 around 1838-1840.
