Doug et. al, FYI, the web wrote my call incorrectly as YB(ravo)0LOW.
I took the complete 4-sq RX array from Hi-Z to the island but regretfully had never been able to erect it due to two main reasons: 1. It's very difficult to obtain space for the 4 vertical in the dense jungle due to lack of land-clearing tools. 2. Island's narrowed beach (at tides) has been occupied by 10 other monoband/resonant tx antennas streching out as almost 300 meters from end-to-end wit their bamboo masts and guying wires. I should have brought the Hi-Z 2 ele rx array for two directions which seemed is more easier to fit the rest space on the near beach to edge soil of island. I decided to erect the DHDL because it's just the most possible rx antenna type to have in our location. It was directed to 50 degrees. With it I could easily logged all stations from W/VE land Maybe next time. Beware: after all these years, top band is still poisonous! :-) Tnx es 73 de Jo, YC0LOW for YB8Y On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 8:50 AM, Doug Renwick <[email protected]> wrote: > >From the YB8Y website.
