Hello my friends,

some good, but also some bad news.

First the bad:
Tomorrow we will ship the freight boxes (13:00 - 15:00 local), unfortunately
the additional 6 m elements did not arrive until now !
We still have some hope to receive them tomorrow, then we could still add
them to the freight boxes ...
Otherwise they have to go with us via airplane. I`ve to rearrange the
European flight luggage once more in this case.
I pray I won`t have to do.
If the additional elements go with airfreight cargo, I have no more time to
precut them to correct lengths. We would have to do at Yangon, but this will
take only 15 minutes of work.
The 5 element going with airfreight is prepared. I rearranged the elements,
elementlengths and longered the boom. Also the phasing line was changed for
higher power.
If we take the additional elements into the normal luggage I still have the
time to prepare them.
At least the plans still will work and we have a good antenna at Myanmar.

Some good news:
Today I received the T/R sequencer and we can use it together with the SP6
and the linear amplifier.
Also we can run full power now, because I changed the power supply. (The
first was only 40 A, but 54 A was needed)
Now we don`t need any more an additional battery, I come with a 65 A ps !
The freights, their clearance and forwarding at Yangon now is reconfirmed by
MIMS (forwarding agency) and also a second time, on my request, from MTT.
