I plan to be on this weekend, although at the moment the band lineup is 
still a bit in flux.

Here is what I hope to have on the air:

6M:  100 watts & 5 elements @ 73'
2M:  1KW & 17 elements @ 80'
222: 500 watts & 23 elements at 55'
*432: 30 watts (hopefully more than that) & 38 elements at 58'
903: 45 watts & 33 elements & 60 '
1296: 15 watts & 55 elements at 60'
*2304: 60 watts &76 elements @ 52'
*3456 45 watts &112 elements @ 52'

The bands marked with a * are uncedrtain at this time.  I have not had a 
chance to resolve the high SWR on 432, but it appears to be the heliax.  I 
am hoping to repair or replace it by the weekend, weather permitting.  My 
amp is still down, but I am hoping to borrow one from one of the locals and 
have at least 100 watts.  2304 still needs to have the amp tested and if it 
is functional, then that band should be a go.  3456 requires a feedline on 
the tower.  I have various pieces of heliax, but so far have not had time to 
put connectors on and get it pulled up the tower.  The transverter and amp 
have been tested and are known to work, so the feedline is the only hangup 
at the present time.  There is also a possibility that I may have 200+ watts 
on 902 if I can get the Motorola amp conversion finished.  I'm not counting 
on it right now, but we'll see.

I'll update the reflectors later this week when I have a better idea of 
where I stand with the 3 bands.
