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!

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. 73 de Milt, N5IA -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Diez - CX6VM Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 10:59 AM To: Charlie Cc: [email protected] ; [email protected] Subject: Re: Topband: KP1 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 :-( 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W ----- No virus found in this message.
