MY NEW ANTENNA SYSTEM

After 8 years of trouble free, my home made 2 el Quad began to show
its age. I had 2 broken wires in one month.
In August 2003 I installed my new antenna system.
My new antenna is the popular 3 el yagi A4S by Cushcraft with the
40 meters kit and three home made dipols (by fishing rods) for
17, 24 and 6 meters band.
The aluminium tower, with a tram system,
is a Home Made 12 meters high, Designed,
Constructed and Erected only by One person: SV1QN
(For this reason I call it One Man Tower)
It consits by 7 pieces 1,8 meters each, and I used the "gin pole".
