Pulling 11 Cables into the Coax Distribution Bunker - Coax, Control & Ethernet


Big job today and I was dreading it – but we finally got the extension fitted to the 4-inch (actually 110mm) underground pipe and then into the Coax Cabinet – and pulled the 11 cables through. Next up, Cable exit, Rotator controllers and Genius Switches – and a ton of coax.

Full Deploy And Test - 80m Inverted L


We made this element a couple of weeks ago. 5m (about 20-ft) at heighest point coming down to 1m (3-ft) off the ground. 19.5m (64-ft) total length for a tune at 3.7MHz with more than 200kHz bandwidth. If you want say 3.8MHz and above in USA (say), aim for 61-ft. Deploy and test! Callum.

Ham Radio without a Tower – Must Watch

Ham Radio without a Tower - Must Watch


▶️ Show-And-Tell: I discuss and even ramble(!) about some ideas and strategies how we might achieve some gain, follow the propagation and improve our stations – assumnig we don’t have a tower. This is not a complete discussion, for instance fan-dipoles are not mentioned and some other well known other antenna designs, (G5RV etc) and I also don’t discuss how to multi-band some of these antennas – I have discussed all of that previously. This is really about how to achieve for a) DX and b) daytime low-band 80m/40m (NVIS). Anyway, enjoy!
