On your mention of Silver solder, do you mean typical circuit board silver
solder or the real silver solder, such as used on copper tubing in high
pressure refrigeration systems?
I used the real silver solder to solder 3/8 copper tubing to Stainless
Steel Ground rods below ground level.

Asunto: Re:
Topbanders,
Rest assured that there will be a substantial 160 m
operation from KP1. I am planning and building the low
band antennas and gear right now.
We will be releasing more details later.

Good Luck GeorgeI was the 160 op with the 1969 operation and worked
several hundred on TB with a wire suspended above the water on the
cliffs protruding across Lulu Bay. I had hopes of hanging slopers from
the lighthouse on top of the hill but getting the equipment and
generator up there
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

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
Since the landing is planned by chopper the light house would be a great
place to set up the operation. Sure would be a super place for low band
antennas with Beverages in many directions. Here is a great pix of the
lighthouse.
Hi Milt and others that sent me direct emails
I couldn´t find the operators list, so don´t know if George is just making
the antennas or if he is going also to operate, I hope so, I always worked

Hi, Jorge
I'll send you a link to the KP1/KP5 website where you can find the
operators' list and photos. What would be good for you folks in SA would be
if they had a terminated RX loop pointed south, with NA in the null to the
rear!

I surely agree, Herb! Although, putting up a field of Beverages would be a
lot of work for an expedition! I might opt for a few terminated loops or one
that could be rotated! That's what they used on the FO0AAA expedition a few
years back (a KAZ terminated loop designed by ON4UN) - and it worked

In the past I have successfully soldered to Aluminum using regular solder.
Initially, I scrubbed the aluminum surface to expose un-oxidized metal and then
covered it with OIL to prevent exposure to air and re-oxidation of the surface.
Then use a high wattage soldering and scrub the surface
