[RRDXA] TB-wire class

[Uwe Könneker]

Randy,

thanks for fast answer! 

That was my actually my assumption, but I also saw other interpretations on the internet. So I wanted to be sure that I follow the spirit of the rules!

I´ll copy folks in RRDXA, as they might be interested as well!

Again thaks very much,

  The rule states:
  (a) Tribander/Single Element (TB-WIRES): During the contest an entrant shall use only one (1) tribander (any type, with a single feedline from the transmitter to the antenna) for 10, 15, and 20 meters and single-element antennas on 40, 80, and 160 meters. 

  My interpretation is that this allows the use up to 4 antennas:

  1. One tribander antenna for 10-20 meters and then one single element antenna

  2. One single element antenna for 40 meters

  3. One single element antenna for 80 meters

  4. One single element antenna for 160 meters.

  Of course, you could have a single element antenna that works on 40/80/160 (or any combination).

  The purpose of this category is to enable competition by similarly equipped stations.  Thus the restrictions on the number and types of antennas.

  Does that answer your question?

    Hi Randy,

    I have a question regarding the TB-wire class for the WPX:

    Would that allow me to switch between different antennas (lets say wires, vertical and beam), as long as I only use one antenna at a time ?  E.g. I could use several antennas but no stacking/phasing and no beams on 40 and below ... but switching between several several single-element anttenas is OK, correct ?

    Thanks
           Uwe
