George,

What about that 10meter beam of mine,  can't that be used for 6? :}

I have a rotor and cable.   Still think we are gonna need a longer mast, and make sure all antennas will bolt on.  I think (MHO) Armstrong will work fine

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
