VP6J News 26 August 2016

Yesterday morning (VP6) Ken and I landed.
We've put up 40-10m vertical, Cushcraft R-5 which I used on 23 years
ago as VR6BB/VR6JJ and 30m 2 elements vertical.
Above antennas are working well.

This morning we finished 160m inverted L.
Then we'll add 80m 5/8 wave length element and radials to the 160m
inverted L in the afternoon.

We hope to work as many as possible on both 160m and 80m.

73 de Nob, VP6J also VP6JJ, VR6JJ and JF2MBF
