Notes from the planning (as of July 8, 1999):

The Cushcraft R7 antenna has been tested already and the extra tuning has been accomplished. It is ready for shipping now.
The antenna carrying bag "The Beauty" is also ready . First pre-packing trial was successfull and everything looks very fine.
The MFJ antenna tuner has been tested also. This will increase the setup reliability and give an 80 M tuning possibility. Hope this would be of some help to bring some multipliers on that band during the contest (the antenna efficiency will be poor anyway).

I needed a switching Power Supply...... now I have TWO of them! O.K.

Should you need any info, any sked (a bit... late), any thing: e-mail me! [email protected]

See you from Crete!
