This is the beam i use for 10/15/20m. It is a Force 12 C3SS.
I have worked the world on this antenna and we are still at the bottom of the solar cycle!
The beam only weighs 13kg and the 20m elements are shortened to give it a maximum length of 24' with the boom being 12'. Much better for the amount of room i have in our garden.

This is the current radio corner showing the Yaesu FT1000 MKV and the Icom IC7000. The rotator controller is for the Yaesu g1000sdx on the Tennamast. I have had the FT1000 for about 2 years now and have recently added the roofing filter and 2khz SSB filter, this has made one hell of a difference especially during contest conditions. The Icom is the newest addition and, so far, has proved itself a very handy bit of kit.

Musings on Amateur Radio!

I hope to share my thoughts and ideas on Amateur Radio and life in general!
