Hi all, I have the new antenna operational on the server now, its a 12 meter vertical and at the moment I have 8 radials, 13 meter long each, laid out around it. Here is a picture of the radio cabin and the antenna, can you see the antenna? Yes, its the flagpole (the ATU is partly visible behind it). Xyl restrictions has so far stopped my plans for a tower and a beam, this will have to do for a while. The antenna on the schack is a patch antenna for 802.11 (that the server uses). I have tested the antenna with just a few QSO's, one of which was with RU9VA in Siberia (east of Novosibirsk, north of Mongolia), a path of 4133 km and the report was vy good (used 18 MHz). So, naturally I welcome reports :-) With that in mind I have started scanning agn, beacon is on during minutes 0-4 and should you hear it or work it then pse send me a short note abt it 73 de Per, sm0rwo
