FRANK
Hi there all you mud ducks,I'm Frank the
original 121 from Sydney located about 25km south of the city center
in a place called Menai, Its a small hilly green area and even though
i'm high above sea level i'm stuck in a gully with a bush outlook which
makes it difficult to get a N\E signal into Stateside/Hawaii as i
have to aim my yagi into a steep hill so i usually have a chat with
my friends over in Europe and where ever else i can get skip conditions
coming in from. I also am usually mobile mobile up&down the east
coast of Australia in my car spending lots of time visiting my mate
George 96 Grafton only 8 or so hours away 640km north of my home
base being very active picking up heaps of local and O/S dx
on the way with my 9ft s/s whip Uniden 640E radio.
At my home base i have a self supporting
wind up tower which i designed and built myself so my antennas can
be set at 12ft high so i can easily work on them and then i can extend
them on the tower to over 50ft high.The internal pole extends 7ft underground
so when i wind it up i can get the extra hight by lifting the duel telescopic
poles out of there heavy footings in the ground.
Some of the running gear i use at
the moment is a Kenwood TS850s transceiver with a Silver k Eagle microphone
also a station master 1/2 wave vertical antenna and a experimental yagi
which can be 3-7 elements and/or a 15-35ft boom at the moment its a 5ele
16ft boom yagi with duel drive which works just fine,I am always
trying to find the optimum settings to suit my conditions.
I'm also a happy member of ROMEO BRAVO
DX GROUP and SUGAR DELTA RADIO GROUP and i hope to catch you on the dx
in the future.
