[ADXA] BS7H

[Dennis Schaefer]

I took it hard when I couldn't work BS7H last time they were on and 
don't want it to happen again.   My antenna is  a Cushcraft A-3 up 
about 60 feet.   Needless to say, I'm not sure working them this time 
is going to be a slam dunk.

I'm tempted to put up a "good" temporary antenna for one of the WARC 
bands.   Maybe a wire beam, etc.   I guess the beam heading is about 
the same as for DU.   Any suggestions for band and type of 
antenna?  I was thinking maybe 30 meters?   17 meters might be open 
to that part of the world - I haven't been able to get on the air 
enough lately to know.    I assumed probably 20 and 30 would have the 
best propagation.    Maybe a fixed wire beam for 20 meters would be 
best.  I guess the problem with putting up a fixed beam is that one 
is assuming the signals will come by the normal path - not crooked 
path, or long path, etc.

Any ideas would be appreciated - including info on when they are 
expected to be on the air.   I didn't have any trouble working 
Swain's with the A-3 but I think Scarborough will be a different 
story.   I may have to just camp out at the BAT location for a couple of days!
