VP8G Update (Nov 03)
On November 2, Gerben packed all the materials and equipment for the flight to VP8G. In total, there were 90 kg in two suitcases: a large one and a backpack. He is still awaiting approval for the microfiber as excess luggage.
VP8G Update (Oct 23)
Most of the equipment and materials have been packed. Important issue is to stay within the weight limitations of the airline. Still judging what to leave behind without compromizing the setup and operation.
Have also added some wires to create a 60m antenna. It was not possible to add one more fiber pole for a separate vertical, so will use the DX Commander as support for an L-shape 60m antenna.
I have also built a Hexbeam, based on the K4KIO design dimensions. The start was the SP6CYN Hexbeam which is a very nice quality product. However, I wanted to have a version that is less in weight and can be assembled faster. With the support of Ham Radio Land (distributer for SP6CYN in the Netherlands), I started to discuss to create a DXpedition version. More on this later.
