Tower number 9


   After some weeks of work on it, new tower number nine is on the place. It is our smaller one :)
Tower is 21,5m tall, main part is 16m long and there is another 5,5m of pipes. This tower will carry rotary: 6+4m 12 el Yagi and 30m HB9CV. Than it will be support for two HB9CVs for 20m. These fixed antennas will help us (we hope) to work more EU and SDX on 20m band. 

   Thanks to my girlfriend Lucka, we made some more work on warehouse.

Good start is very important!

Happy Easter - 20m and 30m HB9CVs building 





Another nice longer weekend at Policko OL7M QTH. With friends, dogs, pipes and more :) We are still missing two yagies in "new" stacks after the Eberhard storm. But it needs more people and more energy... So we have decided to prepare and build another smal tower and new antennas to another directions. It will be only 16m high tower with two HB9CV for 20m, fixed to missing EU and SDX QSOs. As well there will be 30m HB9CV and 12el for 4 + 6m Yagi. So I spent weekend with HB9CVs building and with some more work on TWR bearings.

Jarda OK1XUB repaired fireplace and Pavel OK1MU assembled parts of the TWR together.

Some more work at OL7M QTH...





We spent a few days at QTH. WX was great and we made some more work there. A few more  antennas are down and two new towers are waiting on the ground. I also rebuilt YU7EF dualband yagi for 4m and 6m. There are printed insulators made on my 3D printer. Design is from Dan OK1HRA, you can find it at RemoteQTH.com.

Also some more work on TOP band vertical and of yourse, on the garden and trees is done :)

Standa OK1CID run CQ WPX SSB as OK7W on 20m SO.
