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.
