Valid points, Keith. I think the boys that went to FO0AAA did good to hang up that KAZ terminated Loop that John, ON4UN, put together for them!
Some years ago, My friend, Jim, W4RS and I put together a dual-band 40/30m GP for the guys that went out to KH1 - and while they were on the island, Joe hung all sorts of vertical wires for higher bands on it! Worked well!! It was great on 40/30! 73, Charlie,K4OTV -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of VE7MID Sent: Monday, September 09, 2013 10:23 PM To: 'topband' Subject: Topband: 3B9EME >From experience, it is easy to say, "put up a beverage". I went to 7P8D with the idea that would be the set-up but, on site, it was impossible. There is a difference between having years to set up a station and days with limited material to accomplish an effective low band station. We will have conducted two site visits and are planning for contingencies for 3DA0ET. It is annoying to be criticized by comfortable "base" stations for efforts on top band where we must depend for the assistance of others to put up a top band antenna system which takes more time than their muti-band high qso rate stations! Be appreciative of the efforts of others to provide you with a "new one"! 73 Keith _________________ Topband Reflector _________________ Topband Reflector
