SOUTH ORKNEYS 2011 ---> The Microlite Penguins DXpedition team has
announced the major equipment sponsors for their upcoming South Orkneys
DXpedition (27 January-8 February 2011). Equipment will include a full set
of Elecraft K3 transceivers and a set of Acom 1010 amplifiers ("which will
help overcome some of the low-band difficulties and help keep our signals
above the noise"). As for the antenna field, they will have a complete set
of verticals from 40m through 10m supplied by DX Engineering complemented
by two BigIR vertical antennas (which "will allow us maximum flexibility
with propagation, and two stations active within the same band whenever
possible"); on 80 and 160m they will have the Battle Creek Special, one DX
Engineering's 4-square receive antenna system plus vertical wires supported
by 60-foot and and 85-foot Spiderbeam fiberglass masts ("this allows
simultaneous CW and SSB operation on 80 and gives us redundancy on 160").
Donations are gratefully accepted (details at www.vp8o.com).
