Portable on the mountain using 200w on SSB with a TS 480(a friend´s radio)and my beloved K2  for CW,a cubical quad for 10m during the Oceania Contest, 1000m above sea level.What a great day!!

Antennas

Ultrabeam UB-50- 3 element dynamic yagi from 10-20m, rotary dipole for 30/40m (U shape).

I put up  a sloping delta loop for 40m.The delta loop is fed in the corner, favouring Europe a bit and it´s very interesting to switch among the W3DZZ, the delta loop and the rotary dipole. The rotary dipole is the best antenna on 40m. Sometimes there is hardly any or no difference, but sometimes the dipole is 3 to 6db stronger than the other wire antennas, depending where the signal comes from.

GP for 2m/70cm, above the beam.

RX/TX: I´ll tell you when we have a qso!

View to the southeast, long path to W6/7.As you can see on this picture, an antenna with a very low take off angle is not a benefit in this valley- but I do get out, even with low dipoles on 40 and 80m.

Right next to the mountain in the background is the home of our 2m FM repeater OE5XKL(Krippenstein) on 145.712.5khz-Echolink international:534058.. Echolink national:504

In winter my wire antennas are sometimes visible.The vertical wire is part of a 160m inverted L with one elevated radial. It seems to work reasonably well and I think it´s my best 160m antenna I´ve built so far.

On the right hand side of the hut, just above the roof, you can see a part of my 40m sloping delta loop.

Honda CB 750, here in Cortina `d Ampezzo, northern Italy. I like the classical design of this bike and my XYL loves Italian Espresso!
