Chicken wire into the sea......it was quite cold :)
Chickenwire everywhere
Here is the beauty
FULL SIZE 42 m.........no compromises on TX! :)
18m FIBERGLASS POLE + wire hold by balloon up to 42m.....
When the wind started it looked like this.....
I was afraid it will bring down the whole antenna....so I put the balloon down......and the small balloon slipped off.......
See this wind? About 40kn.......so i took down the balloon and the little guy slipped off...therefore I made INV L right B4 the contest.......but no photos of that :)......1 hour B4 contest the wind stopped and balloon was installed again and it lasted till the end of the contest.........(the lowlight of this was that I started the contest approximately 1 hour late......00:48Z was the first QSO).....(thanks to s57rw who waked me up!)
Shack
HERE IS THE CONTEST BEAUTY:) Killer on TX........
INV L. setup -
My bed......
While I was making QSO, a local cat stealed my smoked ham......
It happened the same with rice chocolate.......
From 36OHMs to 50OHMs it is not a big difference......so I used common 1:1 balun.
