The Shack in 2011

OPERATION: 

RELOCATION OF ANTENNA 

Finally, in April 2014 a great project was completed! To change a position of an antenna and its associated mast is both demanding and time consuming. But if there is a will there is a way. The new position provides better access and open space for the antenna in case of maintenance. This was a major issue at the former place where the height of the surrounding trees was very small against their height 14 years later! I did not want to cut any trees or branches either, so to move the antenna at another place in my property was the only possible solution. But just imagine the task of lowering the quad between tree branches, horrible!

The antenna enjoys a fantastic view towards north, east and south east and this is confirmed by its results towards far east, Indian ocean and Africa. Its a bit hard to reach the western part of USA,Canada and south america though. But, nothing is perfect. Its a compromise I have to live with. So no worries my friends, perhaps a bit of higher power might do the trick, we'll see.

So this is it: My 2 Elements GEM Quad with 3 feed lines and 6 bands (20m,17m,15m /12m,10m / 6m)
