It's antenna time in upstate NY
 

There was a BIG wind here day before yesterday and enough leaves
are gone from the trees that sunday I'll string up the 55 lb Bear bow
and see if I can sling the 156 foot Windom back up over the maple trees.
Worked out the calculations for a VHF vertical last night, but I have to
winterize the vehicles before I can actually build it. The HF vertical
is still in the sketching phase as I can't figure out the best place to
mount it.
Anyone else planning to go to the big party in Kitty Hawk NC 17
Dec '03 ?? I'm taking the Sat800 and wondering if anyone has prior info
on unusual frequencies of interest.

start at http://www.centennialofflight.gov/index.cfm there
are a billion links. Actual day on site tickets already sold out.



I got my long HF antenna up yesterday and was rewarded with
pulling in a very weak BBC African service from Meyerton, South Africa,
on 3255 at 0320 to 0340Z on my old hollow state NC-125. Verified
frequency on the Sat800. This was the first trans-equatorial I've ever
logged in the 90 meter band. Aviation WX from Shannon, Ireland was
solid copy.
