[GCARC] 80M SSB and CW stations

[DARRELL]

Thanks Vinnie. 
80cw setup is mine. An ab-577 50ft tall military mast. Merrill wk2g also has one for 20cw. One of the bags mentions Desert Storm, so at some point it was deployed there.  I am putting up a half wave dipole at 50ft, and an invertedL below it at 35ft., the rest horizontal.  The L should favor long haul and west coast, the V close in and east coast. They will also be mounted 90deg apart to minimize interaction.

I asked Al if that area was ok, I have set up several yrs in a row in that vicinity. Since I already have the tower base secured with stakes and guys, it would be hard to move.
Tony WA2FZB and I will be using my k3 and I'll bring my ice filter box in case but last time it was quite immune without a filter.

73 and let's rock FD!

I was just out at the 4-H to cut thee grass on an area right behind the trailer, for our 40M SSB station. I noticed that the 80M SSB and CW stations are pretty close together. I am not sure if you guys will kill each with QRM, or not, but you might want to discuss this with each other and Al. There are ICE bandbass filters somewhere in the trailer, which should help.


In the past, we would put all the SSB and CW bands on opposites sides of the grounds to minimize the QRM.


Also, that antenna setup for the 80M CW looks outstanding! I wanted to throw out kudos to whoever is using that setup.
