Rent-a-QTH. P49V
The P49V QTH has been purchased by Andy, AE6Y, and John, W6LD, who plan to continue to rent it out to hams. It has been a contest-winning station, and is quite popular, so plan ahead. The house has 2 bedrooms plus a radio room, fully air-conditioned, with a living/dining room and well-equipped kitchen. It's not luxurious, but is a pleasant vacation headquarters.
The shack consists of an FT1000D plus Alpha 87A, electronic keyer, StackMatch, 6-Pak, logging computer, etc. There is a spare Alpha 86 on site, and Andy and John plan to bring down a second radio and filters and set up an SO2R station. There are three towers on the property, with 4 elements on 20, 15, and 10 (all Force 12), 2el on 40 (Cushcraft), and dipoles for 80 and 160 (with room for beverages), plus a Force 12 C31XR on its own tower, and a small 6-meter yagi. Rentals are by the week, and include use of house, station, and a garaged car.
Contact ae6y@aol.com or w6ld@arrl.net There will be a web site up shortly.
Rent-a-QTH: New Rental villa by KK9A is being developed, but the station is NOT available yet. It may be early 2002 before the tower is up. The villa can be seen at http://www.iguanavilla.com
