Callum Builds 2025 Spec DXC Expedition Antenna

Callum Builds 2025 Spec DXC Expedition Antenna


PREVIOUS BUILDS:
https://youtu.be/nbBp42bbELo (3-element version)


I used the following element lengths:
40m: 11.2m (as original spec)
20m: 5.02m (as original spec)
17m: 3.83m
15m: (runs off 40m element)
12m: 2.88m (as original spec)
10m: 2.47m (slight cut)
*NOTE* Without 10m connected, I still got a tune on the CW end of 10m band – strange but true!

New Field Coax Distribution Bunker

New Field Coax Distribution Bunker


I finally found a gap in the weather to put up the shed for all the new coax switches and control gear gear – but it needs some work so make it totally rain proof… Easy fix, I’m sure.

Preparing 13 Antennas to 4 Radios – New Project

Preparing 13 Antennas to 4 Radios - New Project


In this video, we pull out the old Coax switching from the antenna field and prepare to bench test 2 x Genius 8×2 4O3A switches together with the 8XAB Switch Matrix box and an OM Module (16 programable relays) as well as their Rotator Genius. The net effect will be 7 Antennas plus another 6 from the RatPak that either station can select as well as 2 rotators that can be controlled – again from either station. But a lot of head-scratching yet to come! Cheers, Callum, M0MCX.

This is to make sure we don’t change antennas while transmitting. Seems easy – but it’s new for me!

20m - When Conditions are JUST RIGHT!


Thanks Hayden! @HamRadioDX I really must do some more early morning DX. This was good fun, beaming VK and ZL (north pole) from UK last November… Then around to 240 degrees for Long-Path VK
