Today I activated LA/TM-029. I alerted for 20m, 40m and 80m and brought my 2*13,4m doublet. I started on 20m and had 15 qsos in 15 minutes! When things got quiet on 20m I took a short break for a cup of hot Chicken Soup. After the break I went looking for a quiet frequency on 40m but couldn’t find any! I tried some calls on 80m and managed to work Aage, LA1ENA. I heard GM7UAU call me but he was not able to hear my answer.
It was -10° when I left home. My thermometer showed 0° during the activation but that has to be wrong! My guess is that it was more like -7° or -8° as my breath constantly turned to ice on my beard. This was the final activation this year. See you in 2009! Happy New Year!
14MHz: 15 qsos
3.6MHz: 1 qso
DXCCs: G, 9A, DL, ON, F, S5, LA

HAPPY NEW YEAR MADS!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sean. I feed this antenna by 300 Ohm Slotted Ribbon Cable. I also use a switchable 4:1/1:1 balun and a Elecraft T1 tuner. On 20m and 40m I use the 4:1 balun and on 80m I use 1:1.
