Hello,dear Josh!
It was really unbelievable !!! Outstanding propagation to the US!
I made 40 QSO with NA within one hour,10 new states...
Equipment for top band was FT1000 MP,ACOM 2000A( 1500 wt output) and
1/4 wave vertical with an exellent mirror - 200 burried radials,from 40
to 120 meters long.
6 BV for receiving to SA,NA,North,JA,VK/ZL,South each 172 m long
Everything is ready for a new antenna farm here :)
Plans are the following :
6*6*6*6 el H-frame stack for 20 on 2 towers
7*7*7*7 el stack for 15
8*8*8*8 el stack for 10
and the most challenging project 2 el full size QUAD for 80 mtrs :)
Hope all antennas will be erected till the end of the year
After that 160 m will be the weakest point...It will be left for the next
comming year
Looking forward for your QSL!
See you soon!
Yours,
Andy
