Biography

Previous : LB8FH from Norway. Moved to Austria in December 2018

I’m currently using a Icom IC-7851 and IC-9100
and a BM-800 studio microphone.
The microphone has a totally remade pre amp and LF bandpass filer.

Also using a Palstar HF-AUTO Antenna Tuner for the beam's and a Palstar BT1500A Balanced Antenna Tuner
for my 450ohm ladder feed horizontal loop (80-10m)

For antennas
I’m using a horizontal loop for 80-10m at about 15-20m height - using ladder line to the tuner.
A G5RV antenna (80m long) for 160-6m at about 20m height. Working quite well
And a vertical for 160-80m from Spiderbeam.
In edition I will have a Spiderbeam 30-20-17-12-10m HD at about 17m total height above ground.
Changing 15m for 30m is an experiment, but so far works grate. Extending the booms to 6m , and added cables for 30m - 3 elements
Mounted on a MC-1200 Steel Tower - on the garage roof - 3m height above ground. (Working on it :-))
For 6m I'm using a 6 element EAntenna 50LFA6XL (12,33 dBi – 22,6 dB F/B) at about 15m height. (Same tower and rotor as the Spiderbeam)

And - not to forget - Using the MeP-AB10 BP100 AIRBORNE 10 /.400" coax from Messi
About 1 S lower (local) noise in RX mode, and super TX performance. I can really recommend this cable :-)
