I am mainly interested in DX'ing and also enjoy the DX-type contests. My favorite contests are the ARRL International DX Contests, the CQ World-Wide DX Contests and the Scandanavian Activity Contests. I prefer the CW contests but also enjoy the SSB contests, also.

I recently completed the construction and installation of a home-built copy of a Telrex 40M346 3-element 40 meter monoband antenna. The Telrex 40M346 was a yagi that used 3 full-size elements on a 46' (14 m) long boom. Below are some images of the construction of the antenna and the installation of it on top of a 130' (41 m) guyed Rohn 55G tower.

The above image was taken while the antenna was being assembled at the base of the tower.
