I am QRV on :

HF - IC-756PROIII, IC-756II, 1000W PA.

Antennas:

160 m - dipole.

80 m - horizontal dipole 40mH.

40 m - 4 el. KLM 25mH + 2 x 2 el. Moxon design (FIRST in LY) on 49m rotary mast (FIRST in LY).

20 m - 3 x 5 el stack (FIRST in LY) on 49m rotary mast (First in LY).

15 m - 4 x 5 el stack (FIRST in LY) on 43m rotary mast (FIRST in LY) + 5 el yagi on 49m rotary mast (FIRST in LY).

10 m - 6 x 4 el stack (FIRST in LY) on 43m rotary mast (FIRST in LY) +5 el yagi on 49m rotary mast (FIRST in LY).

17/12 m - 5 el. on each band on the same boom, 11mH, temporary location as lowest antenna on 49m rotary mast.

As you can see there is something unique in Lithuania - rotary masts and number of antennas systems. It took number of years to calculate all constructions, to optimize them and, because mostly everything is hand made, to pick up everything what was done on the ground. The Key Persons - Petras LY1PM and Oleg (no call). Very special thanks to Oleg - he is the only man in the crew who is "walking on the masts".

 All this equipment is at Petras LY1PM position at KO25TM, about 100km. form my location. I hope to be QRV from there during biggest contests (CQWW, CQWPX, ARRL, etc.).

3 x 5 element stack for 20m + 2 x 2 element Moxon on 40m + 5 element on 15m + 5 element on 10m + 5 element on 17/12m (lowest one, temporary place) band on 49m. rotary mast.

 

4 x 5 element stack for 15m + 6 x 4 element stack for 10m bands on 43m rotary mast.

 

Here we are both - me (left) and Arunas LY2IJ (right). Photo was took during WAE 2009 CW contest - Arunas was on the air, the rest four people including me where working on the antennas lifting (10 and 15 meters new antennas).

 

For a long time I was active from multi-op teams : mostly from LY2WW/LY4W (old calls UK2BBB, UK2BBK, UP1BWW, UP1BYL, LY1BY) and sometimes from LY5A/LY2ZZ. Between 1992 and 1999 I was QRV from home, but results was more less funny because of poor wire antenna and home made multi-band verticals on the roof in the middle part of the city. Last few years I was QRV only in the contests because I took down all my antennas at home. But it was terrible to hear the bands so rare (started only few hours before the contest) so I decided to rebuild at home something and 2005.09.15 multiband vertical (40-10m.) was picked up. Just to listen the bands time to time....

 

50 MHz - IC-756PROII with no antenna at home yet...

VHF - IC-275H, 100W. UHF - IC-475H, 100W and IC-910H (2m/70cm/23cm). No possibility to pick up any antennas so operation on VUSHF bands is very rare and mostly is portable operation (Field day or so....). Also I'd like to thank Rytis LY4U and Arvydas LY3BF for the invitation to LY2WR multi-op operations from KO24FO with antennas ASL ower 290m and fantastic takeoff to all directions. Perhaps one of the best VHF position in Lithuania for today.
