Comments:
This was my fourth 7QP expedition, this time from a house rental situated on 20
acres near Sonoita in Santa Cruz County, AZ. When I reserved the house, I told
the host what I was going to be doing, so there were no issues. This was my
first time out with a new antenna system. See details below. This antenna system
is much bigger (full size 80) and a lot higher than my previous expedition
antennas. Lots of work went into designing, building and tuning this system. The
design goals were to be louder (of course), ease of tuning, and ease of storage
& transportation. The louder part of it is at the expense of the effort
required to get the antennas up in the air and then take it all down hours
later. It all worked perfectly and held up in high winds (although it was not
pretty). I guess it was not big enough.
Rig: FTdx10
Amp: KPA-500
Antennas:
1) Full size 80 & 40 fan dipole suspended on a 32 ft center & two 28 ft
end masts
2) 20/15/10 fan dipole suspended below the 80/40
Thanks to everyone involved with running the great 7QP!
