[TVARC] Montserrat status

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

Nice pix!

Why only 25 feet?  Is the motorized tower not working?

Have fun,

73, Pete, K2PS

For those of you who might be interested, here is a quick status report on our Montserrat contest trip so far. After spending Tuesday night on Antigua, we took the little 8-seat plane the last 40 miles to Montserrat Wednesday morning. Notice ND8L in the copilot seat.
Since our arrival we have been hard at work assembling antennas to the point that we are finally on the air. Ray (VP2MMM) is running 15m FT8.
I’m having a libation.🤪
We currently have a tri-band beam and a 40m beam up only 25 feet.
73,
