This is how everything started on contest location Laze: with 9el Delta Loop (vertical) and 9el YU0B for 2m And the proud team: (L-R) 9A2XF, 9A3TN, 9A9AU, 9A3PY Next spring we decided to make it big. 4*17el F9FT (horizontal) and 2*9el Delta Loop (vertical) system was choosen. How many amateurs it need to put this antenna system on tower ? It sure needs experienced ones. (L-R: 9A3PY, 9A3TG, 9A7GMB, 9A3TN) Take a look at the final result! 9A2XF trying to get maximum from his H-T at the top of 20m high tower. You can see 4*17el F9FT (horizontal) and 2*9el Delta Loop (vertical) antenna system for 2m at contest location Laze.

Huge smile on 9A3TN's... ...and 9A9AU's faces at the beginning of the Contest... Bad score? Hopefully no, every HAM looks the same after 24 hour-contest? Young and old HAMs at contest location (9A7GMB talking) 9A4P (Contest callsign) and 9A1BTU QSL Card faces, showing Pozega's old centre with baroque architecture Next challenge: 6m A.K.A The Magic Band. This effective 4el beam was made from an old VHF TV antenna by simple cut-paste procedure. After first amazing results on 6m, two scrap TV antennas were converted into huge 7 element beam. 9A3TN and 9A9AU viewed from the tower. 9A3TN is ready, new 6m beam is waiting to be lifted... Is it heavy? 9A3TN knows the right answer... Finally! Beam is up, the supporting ropes fixed. And now, the coax. From the safe ground level, everything looks simple, ain't it? Another beautiful view... What is new? The 70cm band antennas! 4*21 el F9FT   Pictures by 9A3TG, 9A3TN, 9A5TT and Alen Nedela
