SETUP STATION |
|||

We
intend to use two station, the first for the regular HF bands (10, 15,
20, 40, 80m) and during the contest, the latter for the multiplier
search during the contest and for WARC bands outside the contest.
|
|||
| Antennas |
We
plan to install a multi band vertical ECO 7+ for the bands between 10 to
40m including WARC and one
Butternut HF6V for
10 to 80m, without WARC to be transported from Italy. Dipoles can be
hung from the tower on the island for 40 and 80m bands. The baluns to be
procured in Italy, the wire might be procured locally.

filters for CW :

Sets of Dunestar TX filters ( tks I2YSB) Operation with two radio closet each other can cause serious interference
problem. To overcome this problem is necessary to use band filters which
are very expensive. |
