[Elecraft] Speaking of off-shore manufacture...

[WILLIS COOKE]

Susan, one of the commercial verticals such as an AV-14AVQ or AV-12AVQ mounted 
on a pipe pounded in the sand with a few wire radials will work very well on the 
beach.  The take-off over a long expanse of salt water will be great.  Twenty in 
the day time will be the best band and forty at night if you want to battle the 
critters.  A 43 ft. vertical would be a little better, but also might be a 
handfull to erect for you without help.  The KAT-3 will tune almost anything. 
Good Luck!

Ok gentlemen, here is your chance to be of service to God, Country, and mainly 
me.

It looks like I will finally get out of KH6 and head for KH3, V7, V73, T32, 5w, 
ETC  come November.

QUESTION:
  this is a solo dxpedition, I am 75 years old.  the antenna farm will most 
likely be vertical and located right at the shore line.

What suggestions do you have for me to construct for antennas?

If you don't change direction you WILL arrive exactly where you're 
headed!! Susan Meckley, Skipper W7KFI-mm  AFA9SM                         USSV
