Re: Topband: T8CC
I was on Palau back in '82 as KC6CO. My mission there was the chief radio operator on a USCG cutter that tended the buoys and navigational aids. Some problems I encountered were lack of parts availibility, no tall trees, and extremely rough volcanic rock/soil. I had a big problem getting a good earth ground inland. The only low band antenna I could manage was a random length wire thrown up between the coconut trees. I tossed a wire into the salt water lagoon for a ground. Visions of the WWII coast watchers constantly went through my mind. Not many QSOs were made this way, but I could not get permission to put up anything better. I did have a wonderful visit with Mr. Joe Anson, KC6JA, who was a retired USCG electronics tech who lived there. I lost touch with Joe after a few years. Wonderful diving, boonie stomping, and WWII history. 73 & Best DX Charlie WD5BJT See September 2006 CQ Magazine for a published work. www.qsl.net/wd5bjt PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?

Re: Topband: T8CC
Eugene (RA0FF) T88OW has indicated he will be on Palau at the end of December for several weeks and will concentrate on 160 and 80 meters. I sent him information about the antennas at the Pacific Palace needing repair and i ho0pe he gets the information in time to take some wire along for both RX and TX antennas. So far I have not heard a reply but perhaps this will be the chance to finally get T8 on 160. Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ On 12/15/2011 1:07 PM, Bernie McClenny, W3UR wrote: > Not here Mike.

Re: Topband: T8CC
Since my call appears on the list of T8CC spots below, I guess I should take the opportunity to provide some context. As many know, I'm located in Washington state. When I worked and spotted T8CC on the 13th, Arkady had a good signal, with little or no QSB, and was also hearing well. He called CQ over and over for quite a long time, with few takers (just me, a VK, and some JA's). My antenna is nothing special (a half-sloper, with no separate receiving antenna), so I was surprised there were not more takers. I guess I was in the right place at the right time. I don't know how much longer he will be there, but as I said, he hears well, so if you can hear him, he'll probably hear you.
