I have been putting together the YCCC Kit for a 5 Square vertical RX antenna.  It will have four elements on the perimeter and one in the middle. It will use three elements in line in switched in four directions. I hope to be able to install it at least during our stay a few hundred feet away from my transmit antenna and believe it will provide a better receiving setup than what I used before for 160 and 80 meters.<\/p>\n<p>During this trip I will plan to operate the CQ WW 160 Meter Contest (high power) and the ARRL CW DX Contest (low power).<\/p>\n<p>In between contests I will concentrate on 160 Meters and if I get the RX antenna up and working will welcome schedules from rare zones and countries who might need ZF or Zone 8 on Topband.  There will be plenty of opportunity to work me if you are in Europe or JA in the CQ 160 Contest or during other activity between contests.  <\/p>\n<p>I am waiting delivery of QSL cards. They should be here within the next week and we will begin sending them out shortly after receiving them.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dx-world.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BreakingNews_4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"496\" height=\"249\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71010\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dx-world.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BreakingNews_4.png 700w, http:\/\/dx-world.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BreakingNews_4-300x171.png 300w, http:\/\/dx-world.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/BreakingNews_4-696x398.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>QSL&rsquo;s will be via e-QSL and LoTW only.<\/p>\n<p><HR width=\"50%\"><br \/>\n<center><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><\/p>\n<h4>Version traduite en Fran\u00e7ais via Google Translate<\/h4>\n<p><\/span><\/b><\/center><br \/>\n<b><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Le 19 D\u00e9cembre 2016<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stan, ZF9CW Mises \u00e0 Jour &#8211; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ma femme et moi retournerons \u00e0 Cayman Brac du 22 janvier au 23 f\u00e9vrier.
