Hi all,
es thanks for the calls today on bw-170 es bw-040.i don´t wanted to do sota before my hb0/qrp-activity , but by this wx i must go out,hi.today i tested my homebrew-rig with the t1 tuner with doublet 2x20m and symetric-feeder.after the tuner i spent a homebrew 1:4 Guanella balun on 2 Amidon FT82-43 rings.no problems on 30m to 80m.set up the antenna only 5m over the ground to have better signal in low ranges.the dipol must only so high as possible if you wan´t make dx.but 80m was dead today.only make 1 qso with DF2PI on 3558.40m was ok with mni well known chasers and a s2s with G1INK/p and 2E0HJD/p on G/NP-22. and today 30m-cw was the best since weeks.vy loud signals on my antenna all over europe so give 30m a try in your next activations if 40m is weak.i send a few pictures to flick´r
hope cu agn on the summits…73 Klaus DF2GN
