The above photo is of the SteppIR and tower in one of the Orange groves. The Tennamast tower is fed with 80m of LDF 4-50, FSJ 4-50, 5 x RG213 and 26 separate 2.5mm wires for controlling the rotor and SteppIR. Its guyed with 8 x 5mm steel guys. Its small but Sturdy!

I am Tony ex G8MHM, G4GLB and EI6JN. Brenda (EA3GLW) and I have been retired for some time now. We live in the mountains of Catalunya (Currently part of Spain) near Tortosa. The property is a fruit farm of 4.4 acres and we have plenty or room for our tower and SteppIR antenna. We have trees of Oranges, Apricots, Lemons, Figs, Almonds, Walnuts, Quinces, Mulberries, Medlars, Persimmons (Sharon Fruit), Pear, Apples, Cherries and of course Olives, and several Grapevines.

We are both very interested in watching all the wonderful birds here, 60% of Europe's bird life is here in the Delta.

We use our FT1000mp and IC-2KL for HF. Antennas are SteppIR 3 ele at 45ft and a Delta loop for 40 and 80m.

We have a wonderful pool so excercise is no problem now. We have a massive garage and workshop, so I'm real happy.

We both do a little oil painting so, if and when it rains, we will still have plenty to do!

We only use eQSL and would be delighted to confirm QSOs. My log is uploaded.

Hopefully we will meet on the air.

Thanks and Best 73's
