Hi Gang!

After the tower trailer toppled last month taking all my
large VHF and UHF antennas with it, I put up a 40 ft
AB-577 mast in its place to hold up the 160M Inv L for the
ARRL 160M contest along with my small 4 ele 6M fixed due
N for good measure.

Today I lowered the AB-577 mast & added a rotor along
with my small rover/portable antennas as the large antennas
are still damaged & broke in 1/2 from when the tower trailer
toppled.

As of Today jan 15th 2010, I have up the following antennas,
a 4 ele HB 6M yagi on a 15 ft boom, a M2 2M9SSB, and a
M2 440-18 ant 37, 39, and 41 feet respectfully.

Currently the Plan is to be QRV for the up coming arrl Jan VHF
sweepstakes on 6,2, and 432 in the low power category. I might
activate 222 using a 7 ele yagi on a 10 ft mast setup on the side
of the house.

Initian testing tonight was very promising... w/o any preamps inline
the KJ6KO beacons on 144.282.5 & 432.281.7 were fairly loud
with hardly any QSB & very easy copy.

So please remember in the upcoming Jan VHF Sweeps to aim out
East to Fallon Nevada and give a call, I'll be looking for you.
