RIG: IC-735 + FL-2100Z
Spiderbeam 7m up (20-10)
Verticals (40/80)
Low bands was not much fun from here - need to improve my antennae and hopefully
will a have a new state-of-the-art TRX next year. Had to take beam down on day
1 as fixing ropes for rotating antenna loosened and antenna started to swirl
like windmill in seabreeze damaging bits and pieces. 10m driven element of
antenna got damaged on day 2, ie had to stick to 15/20.
