Since May 2008 I also make Use of a generous Offer made by my old Friend DK1FG already many Years ago:
To operate from his 144MHz Top Class Station (Mountain QTH JN59OP) and to use the Site / Facilities
whenever I want. TNX Gerhard !
The QTH is 25km away and I am mainly QRV from there during Contests (to give away Points to active
Participants) as well as prolonged Tropo Ducting.
SET-UP: IC-7700, Kuhne TR144H+40, various LDMOS-FET and Tube Linears, Power Output 750W
