Actual Information: During the christmas-time i got chance to build another ZS6BKW antenna on top of our christmas-tree! Yes, we have a 6m (about 20ft) heigh christmas-pyramid LED outside in garden and i put on top a self built 2x12,75m dipole / 12,20m heigh 450ohm shortwave antenna. One pole reaching to our tree other pole to top of second roof. LED-christmas-tree is lighting from 17:15 till 20:00 local time (UTC: 16:15-19:00). Dipole in straight line from 8m / 6m / 5m over ground.
After christmas-time end of january i have to dismount this second antenna and use my standard ZS6BKW which runs also great. Wish you all MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New YEAR ! vy73 Thomas
