Tower Project, 2006 progress
Here where it gets interesting, the tower is up and I am adding yagi's to the beast: Dec 2005 - June 2006
I had the chance to hire a ditch witch and went wild doing trenches for cables and earthing for the tower... see you on 160 metres during winter! |

Thanks to the HIBIS scheme, I was able to get a satellite feed for my internet, its 256/64 but has lots of LAG. | Here is the folded dipole on the 32 element K1FO based yagi for 70cm |
Next step was to put the K1FO up
the tower. At this point there is no rotator and it is fixed pointing at
VK3.

Stage 2, the new 18 element 144
yagi joins the 432 yagi, still no rotator as the centre pipe needs to be
lifted out another 2 metres yet
|
|
Okay, here we are, 144 & 432 are
rotatable. now all I need to do is add the 9 element M2 50 MHz yagi
