get
on the air (limitations of being in the city with poor view to sky,
etc.). But I am going to try at least a few passes one way or
another!
.... My station will be very simple--FT-817, Elk antenna, and a hand

friends have acquired some additional supplies for us and we will
take
these aboard. The team will board the Braveheart on January 14th,
configure
