[TAC] FP trip

[Hank Kohl]

I talked to Ted at the Kalamazoo Hamfest ..... Ted indicated that the
BS Special is not going!       However he and Kurt are going to have
some military mast and 80M and 160M dipoles.   This should work real
well from that location into EU, NA, SA and AF.  I'd think those
antennas and, if we can fit it in a golf case, an HF2V for 80M and
40M.

After reading the G3SXW "Up Two - Adventures of a DXpeditioner", I
would think that would be good LF antennas.  G3SXW and group have an
HF2V as one of their main antennas for 80/40M.  The only addition
would maybe an inverted-L on 160M if we could get the vertical part
high enough.

So, it looks like the antennas are:
160M       Dipole     K8AQM/W8IQ
80M         Dipole     K8AQM/W8IQ
40M         HF2V      K8MM?
40M         Half Squares    K8DD/K8MM
20-15-10  Spiderbeam  K8DD
20-15-10  TA-33JR       K8DD ------ if we can take it without too much
overweight!

Aluminum military mast - 30'     K8DD   for the TA33JR if it goes
Fiberglass military mast - 30'    K8DD   for the Spiderbeam

Amps:
MFJ solid state   K8AQM
SB200               AC8W
SB200/FL2100    K8DD or K8MM
Interface for SB200/FL2100 to work with the K2/100's  K8DD & AC8W

Radios:
K2/100      K8AQM
K2/100x2  K8DD
IC-746 or IC-706  K8DD or K8MM

Bandpass Filters:
ICE, full set      AC8W

Comments?
