Good conditions today..

SSA Portabel test contest

SMP contest today

CW only - 5 contacts at 80-meter

4 swedish stations and one norwegian.

Homemade Windom worked fine. 

QTH great - very low noise on 80 and 40-meter.

Used my antenna launcher to get the ends of the Windom up about 15m at both sides.

I used the backseat of my car as a shack.

A few raindrops fell, but good conds.

5el 6-meter antenna up..

As planned it "dips" low in the band.

Driver is a bit too long, so I will adjust this later.. no worries.

Like it.. works - "waiting for conds" now.. 

Antenna launcher just need some fish line

Should do the trick to get the line up in the trees.

All done and tested.
Great shot(toy) :-)

6-meter beam done

6-meter beam is done.. 

So, this is the result,

I expect the SWR to go further down when the antenna is up in the air

Projected.. 

DK7ZB antenna calculation

5el 6-meter antenna build

Started the build... should give about 8.5dBd and a F/B of 24dB @ 4.3m boom.

A bit late for 6-meter season, but better late than too late for next year..

DK7ZB antenna - 50-Ohm version.

It will suit my use well. Adding a choke to handle some power with less problems :-)

Hardware is bought and sent from http://eidolon.no/
I went for 12mm tubes, since 10mm extenders was not in stock.

FT-817 and 37m sloper antenna

So, yeah - I'm QRV.. 

Rig is Yaesu FT-817nd and a PA giving 45Watts.
Tuner is MFJ-902H.

Perfect apartment, to be able to setup the 37m sloper antenna.

QRV from Mijas Heights

SOTA - Håøya LA/AH-007 idag..

Activating Håøya LA/AH-007. Never activated before as SOTA.

The dingy is smart to drag on dock.

When other boats pass, there is a big chance it will be crushed in the waves.

Everything you need in one bag..
