It is a 95 Ford Aerostar that I have installed
a 28 foot air mast. The vehicle currently has 9 operational bands. I use a
FT-100 for 6,2 and 432. These drive RF Concepts high power bricks on 2 and
432. On the microwave bands I have SSB 903 xvrtr with 20 watt amplifier to a
M2 yagi, 1296 is DB6NT xvrtr and 35 watt DEM amp and SSB antenna mounted
preamp to a M2 yagi, 2304 is a DB6NT xvrtr and 22 watt SSB amp with an SSB
mast mounted preamp to a 45 el. looper, 3456 is DB6NT xvrtr and 15 watt
DB6NT amp to a 45 el. looper all mast mounted, 5.7ghz is DB6NT xvrtr and
amp, 8 watts to a 2' dual W5LUA dual 5/10ghz feed all mast mounted behind
the dish, 10ghz is DB6NT xvrtr and amp, 5.3 watts mast mounted. On 6 I have
a M2 loop, 2 meters is an M2 7 el. yagi and 432 is a FO-22. I have no set up
time all antennas are left in place for the drive. When I arrive I just hit
the air controller and guide the cables through the roof boot. All is
rotated with an Alliance rotor. This will be my second time out the first
was last January without the air mast. I am working out some minor bugs in
the system now and I will probably have 222 SSB and CW with a 4 el. yagi and
110 watt RF Concepts brick.
