Setup at home in JO59FW for 50/70/144 MHz
At home I have only a small sation and a little shack. Primary antennas are a Vårgårda 9-ele-yagi for 2m on top and 3-ele-yagi for 6m. The horizon is good only from SE to S. |
During the Es season I often install an additional 3-ele-yagi for 4m. The picture shows a larger 5-ele yagi set up for testing. Both yagis are in 28 Ohms design according to DK7ZB. |
|
 |
For 2m the IC-821H is driving a 4 x 4CX250B PA, and for 6m the IC-706 (mostly listening for Es monitoring). |
For 4m I use an OZ2M transverter with FT-817 on IF, providing 25 W RF power. |
144 MHz: Portable setup
Transceiver IC-821-H or K3/XVTR, with PA 180 or 300 W |
Antenna 2 x 9-ele-yagi (Vårgårda, OZ5HF) |
|
 |
The mast is attached to the car for easy setup. No additional guy wires are needed. |
The phasing cables are made from Aircell 7, whereas the main feeder is Aircom Plus cable. |
432 MHz: Portable setup
Transceiver IC-821H with PA 120 W, antenna 2 x 13-ele-yagi (Vårgårda, OZ5HF). |
Setup with single 17-ele yagi for 70 cm often used for multi-band operations (here with 3 cm). |
|
 |
1296 MHz: Portable setup
For 23cm the FT817 is operating at 144 MHz IF with DB6NT XVTR, PA 15W |
The XVTR is mounted directly under the 23-ele-yagi, providing lowest possible feeder loss. |
|
|
10368 MHz and 2320/2400 MHz: Portable setup
DB6NT 3cm XVTR with 6W PA by DL2AM fitted at Procom 48cm dish |
LZ5HP 13cm XVTR, 2W out, fitted to F9FT 25-ele-yagi antenna |
|
|
13 cm and 3 cm transverters on same mast, view shows my horizon from OH to LY |
