Hi, my name is Max (Massimiliano is very long) I'm 48 years old and I was in radio since 1985.

I live in Como, a beautiful city in northern Italy on the border with Switzerland.

Como is famous for both the teritory to the Alps and the lake with its picturesque villages such as I count, Bellagio, Argegno, Tremezzo and many other famous both for their villas to the lavish gardens.

 

My antenna system actually is composed by a homemade Off Center Feed Dipole about 40 meter long, the antenna work great on 80 - 40 - 20 - 17- 12 - 10 - 6 meters band.

The wire used to build the antenna are in stainless steel diameter 2 mm, one arm is long 12,70 meter, the other arm is long 28,10 meter, the arms can be connected indifferently to the two outputs of the Bal-Un.  

The trasformer is built like in the schematic below with two tubolar ferrire core #43 mix.

 

     

 

That below is the diagram of the antenna from 3 to 30 MHz maked with LP-100 Digital Vector RF Wattmeter.

 

 

My other antenna is a Vertical antenna by Hy-Gain model AV-640 that cover 40-30-20-17-15-12-10-6 meters band that I've modify in some parts:

  

  

  

In the last 5 years whit my friend Lino IZ0CBB, that like me love quad antennas, I've collaborated in the realization of a big projecy, called STATUS QUAD

High quality fiberglass tubes, spefivically projected 

 

2,57 mm alloy cord for loops, for more resistence, flexibility and capture area 

Stainless steel spreader 3 mm. thickness, uncompromissing mechanical strenght 

  

Mechanical detais made of high strength aluminium, machined to CNC
