Using my new experimental Evo Hybrid antenna, let’s see how it works during a contest.. I’m ONLY on 10m band, so I can’t QSY. Thanks! Callum.

I’m using the new Triband 15, 12 and 10m SkyLab StarDuster thingy I just built. Needs couple inches off 10m band to bring to perfect resonance but I can live with 1.5:1 SWR! See you there! Callum.

I show you how I built the feedpoint for the tri-band Elevated Radial SkyLab Starduster. Now, it’s 15m, 12m and 10m target frequencies. Will this work? I don’t know yet..! Callum.

How to build a half-square antenna and let us look at the gain structure. Maybe a 40m band project. Ideal if you have some trees maybe? Callum.

Apart from the answer I give here, also be careful of your bonding between your mesh – and your ground connection. Each connection between the chicken wire joints would make a junction. Thousands of diode-like junctions on the ground under your antenna would be a noise machine. You have been warned 🙂

How quickly did my 1,000 feet / 300m or so of copper radials disappear in the grass? Days! Some good data here. Enjoy. Callum.

Using callsign M0XXT (for QSL purposes), I’ll be firing up the Signature 12.4, TS-990s and Acom 2000 for some fun and games today. NEXT WEEK, we will start later and see what 10m is like. CHeers from Middle England, Callum.
