Then the antenna needs to be lifted to top of the mast (already loosely bolted on).  Coax is run out to the antenna.  (KX3+amp)  High winds a problem on mast on tripod.

This will be my first contest with the FT-857, so I'll have 100W on 6, 50W on 2, and 40W on 440. I'll still bring my HT, so I can work 223.5 at QRP. (I have a 5 el yagi for 223.5, should be able to hit Nikiski.) ALSO, I've just got my HSSM node working. I'm still not up to speed on operating it, but I should be able to see TJ Tombleson's KB8JXX node from there. I may need some on air coaching, but I'd like to try and get some HSMM QSO's tomorrow.
