* two antennas, circular, 18 meters above ground
Are you sure that this is possible? (because of the airfield)
The Chaoswelle Camp2007 page[0] states that 12m was the maximum antenna/mast
height, but that might also be a myth (some chaoswelle guys I asked couldn't
remember).
one more thing:
We (the ham radio guys from metalab/Vienna in cooperation with Chaoswelle) are
planning to do some 2m (144MHz) EME[1] communications.
The path of the moon will be south with pretty low elevation, so our
communications path will be almost directly above your heads ;-)
More about the setup on the camp wiki[2], but expect abt. 30dBW PA output.
Professional equipment should have no problems with that, however wideband
hardware like the WBX, Funcube Dongle etc. might not like it.
* from August 2nd through August 15th, i.e. we have
time for build-up
and can also run it one more day during shutdown of the camp
We will be there 3-4 Days prior the opening event, if you need some hands for
build-up (mechanical/HF/whatever) we'll be glad to help.
