St.
Martin. FS & PJ7.
FS/ON4QX, PJ7/ON4QX. On behalf of ON4QX announcing that he took step to be
active in November 2nd week of November 2006. If all goes well he will be on
EME. Depending on interest he will do 6+2 or just 6m+HF operation., it
depends a bit on amp weight. Sofar following has been secured as equipment:
FT857d, Acom1000 (HF+6) ,Ciris 201k( 2m), both amps can give a KW. There is
a single 17el on the island with coax, plans are to ship a 7el/6m beam
aswell. I will add a 2m and 6m preamp aswell. Seen the limited crew (2 ops)
weight is an issue, my vote would be do go for the HF+6m option.
You can give your best ideas to Herman via email [email protected] pse state:
