MY ANTENNAS

VHF UHF : NIL

 

6m Band :  5 Element Yagi

10m Band - 12m Band - 15m Band - 17m Band - 20m Band : OPTIBEAM OB9-5

 

60m Band : Fullsize Dipole

 

40m Band and 80m Band :   Fullsize Dipoles fixed, Delta Loops and quarter waves

 

and sometimes I build in addition a vertical quarter wave with two radials for a better performance to east, here with my 12 meter high GFK Spiderbeam pole where the feed point is 2 meter over the ground, a very helpful support.

40 m Band Quarter Wave :         30 m Band Quarter Wave :

40 m Band   3 Elements Inverted Vee : a great project and a fabulous performance.

I using those on fieldday and at home for contests fixed

installed to West or East, whichever contest is running for the best multipliers.

160 m Band : NIL

 

About me :

I made my first licence in April 2009 (E-Class with DO6SD) and upgraded in December 2010 to Class A. Radio was always a passion to me and finally I put the crown of all with the HAM licence. When the time it allowed I try to catch new DXCC / WAE entities (318 worked currently) and IOTA's (586 IOTA worked currently) and of course new Radio Friends in the whole world. The short wave is my "playground" hi and I try on 10 bands my best luck. My antenna situations for the low bands are not the best (beaming south/north) but it's always better to have a fullsize wire in the air as somewhat shortened. So far I try to use in turns homebrewed Loops, Dipoles and Vertical Quarter Waves for the 30m, 40m, 60m and 80m band, just what my little garden will bear so and as long as my neighbors still smiling. The 6m Band is for me very interesting as well. 160m Band isn't possible because of too little space for reasonably suitable antennas. During my vacation, mostly in Summer, I try to run some little activations like SOTA, Flora & Fauna or IOTA or some other european countries where I have always with me my great helping family.

My passions belong to contesting and DXing. My favourite band is the 17m band.

My favourite modes are  SSB, RTTY, PSK, JT65A and the new mode FT8.

I hope we meet us soon on the frequency - wherever it will be ;-)
