Folks,

 

We're putting the finishing touches on the VHF station and have need to
borrow a few more items.

 

1.	A small 6 meter beam. Something similar to the Cushcraft five
element would work fine.
2.	A rotator for the VHF antennas. This doesn't need to be a big, heavy
one but be capable of handling a 6M, 2M and 70cm antenna, with a control box
and 100' or so of cable.
3.	More operators!

 

Although the AB577 tower is rotatable (with the 'armstrong' method) we've
had suggestions from KC1V and N1SR that a rotor would be a big help. It adds
to setup time but should pay off with a more efficient station.

 

Thanks in advance for any offers!

 

Matt/W1MSW & Jim/KK1W
