Objectives

Equipment

Run station: FT-1000MP, DVK, Quadra linear, Dunestar band-pass filter
Mult station: FT-1000MP, DVK, Tokyo Hi-Power linear, Dunestar band-pass filter
Antennas: For 160m: Dipole; For 80m: 2x phased verticals; For 40m: 4-square array; For 20m: 4 element monoband yagi; For 15 & 10m: Stepp-IR 3 element yagi*
Computers: Win-Test for logging, networked, with telnet cluster link.
* - Note that the shared antenna between 15m and 10m meant that it was not possible for the run and mult stations to use these bands simultaneously this year.
