My primary interest is antenna theory and practical design (the art of building antennas out of available materials and space.)

2009: Achieved 5BDXCC-CW using 100W to balanced-fed dipoles and verticals.

Antennas:

  • 160m inverted-L using a Hy-Gain Hy-Tower
  • 80m dipole at 33m (110′)
  • 40m rotatable dipole at 35m (115′)
  • 20m vertical dipole (sloper) at 23m (75′)
  • 17/15/12/10 Ground Plane (Solarcon A99) at 23m (75′)
