>> In support of Mike our FD chair, let's brainstorm and work together on 
>> antennas.?
>> Here are my thoughts:? (yours are also appreciated)
>> 80m - ONE wire antenna, deploy so it can be used for SSB or CW.? 
>> rationale - this is the noisiest band.? we could use the Carolina windom 
>> that Pete has offered.?
>> 40m - wire antennas, ONE EACH for SSB and CW.? could be simple homemade 
>> inverted vees.? I can supply one of these.?
>> 20/15/10m - one 'tribander' could be considered for SSB.? if nothing 
>> better emerges, I have a two element beam?MA5B?(just the 20/15/10, 
>> portion) that could be used.??the?rocket launcher offered is an overkill 
>> for this, but it would be something we could easily raise?up.?
>> that leaves supporting 20/15/10m for CW.? last year we used?the 40m 
>> inverted V on 15m, and it made it to KH6.?so need to consider 20 and 
>> 10m:?
>> a two element wire beam for 20m would be rather cool - if it could be 
>> lofted in-between other masts.? for 10m we could use just about 
>> anything.????
>> Mike likely has something in mind for HF digital?? Coordinating its 
>> operations with CW is vital to avoid QRM.? If rigs were scarce, it might 
>> also cover one of the phone bands perhaps.?
>> I am thinking of something like 2 SSB rigs and 1-2 CW rigs (depending 
>> upon operator count).? N3DRA is offering to bring the portable antenna 
>> mast he brought last year - I just queried him on height.?
>> Thoughts appreciated.? Next round will be assigning masts and antennas to 
>> be brought and deployed.?
