Many tks to everyone who sent screen captures and video clips of my ship
transiting the Panama Canal today. Although I've been sailing for a long
time, this was my first time through the canal and a very exciting day
for me. (Remember when this area was KZ5, now a deleted DXCC country?)

I was looking at the cluster tonight and noticed where LU6QI had spotted ND9M,
then I spotted him on a later pass. It made me think it might be fun to pick a
pass of say FO-29, and originate a message from say the Mideast, which gets
passed to Europe, then to the northeast US, then say Florida ;

Make sure you get it all.
Let me know if you experience issues with that one.

Good to know. Just in case he has APRS capabilities we have a couple of
digipeaters working on 145.010 MHz. At least two of them should be reachable
from the Canal.

Managed to get photos of the ship in Miraflores, going under the
Centennial Bridge, and leaving the canal at Gatun.

The Cushcraft 416 TB is a 2x8 elements crossed yagi for 70 cm with the
horizontal and vertical elements spaced 1/4 wave lenght in free space over
the boom.
The dipoles are feed using the T match system wich is a balanced system
and the balun is a 50 ohm coax line 1/2 electrical

Hello David
I did think about that also
I also though maybe the balun didn't make it 50 ohms but maybe a much high value
But when i fed the ver driven element with 50ohm feed line and checked the swr
with just a meter it was ok so that ruled that out.
I realize the circular porization was done by
