4W8X: LOCATION SETUP & LOW BAND ANTENNAS ---> Lagunaria DX Group's  November
2023 DXpedition to Timor Leste [425DXN 1677]  "will have two operating sites
which are  500m apart.  The main location,  which we have also used  for our
4W1A scouting trip in April,  will serve all eleven bands from 160m thru 6m.
The second location will serve seven bands  from 40m thru 10m.  The physical
separation will enable us  to provide two signals  on the same band  at  the
same  time - one CW and one SSB.  Please note that CW and SSB  are our  pre-
ferred modes, followed by RTTY.  We'll give FT8 a chance,  but we definitely
prefer the man-made operating modes". 
As for the low bands, 4W8X will have  two 30m 4-Squares,  two 40m 4-Squares,
one 80m 4-Square and one  Titanex V160 vertical with  extensive radials  for
160m.  For receiving, they will have  two Beverages  (about 250m long)  plus
filtering/switching network to listen in  four directions,  independently on
160m and 80m: Europe (short path); North America (short path);  Africa, same
as North America (long path); South America, same as Europe (long path).
More updates highlighting different aspects of the DXpedition will be posted
