Our normal clubstation setup is:

We have recently moved from our old location at Fortress De Gagel (for over 40 years our QTH) to a new location.

The shack is not installed completely yet and the same goes for the antennas.

On the day of our official opening, saturday 20 augustus 2016, we were QRV for a short period, using an ICOM 7300 and and ICOM 7200. Respectivaly on 20 meters in PSK 31 (PA3GQY) and 40 meters PE2LZ (SSB) and PA5ABW (CW). Two temporary dipoles were installed for that occassion.

From saturday 10 september 2016 on PI4UTR is on the air again. With the help of a classical firebrigade laddertruck we managed to tow two antennes between some trees on our location. A dipole, which is good for 80 meters and a sophisticated FD4 for all the bands between 80 and 10 meters.

But we have more plans on our minds. The fantastic 3 elements SteppiR we had on our old location at fortress De Gagel, in still in store and will be erected some day, that is if 'townhall' is willing to issue us their persmission to do so..........

We will keep you posted folks

Kind Regards

the crew of PI4UTR
