.:  qsl card designed  

This card was drawn and designed with help from a friend of mine "JD". JD is a remarkable artist in drawing and designs.  I asked him if he would be interested in helping me design a QSL card, which of course knowing JD was more than happy to be involved. JD at the time had little Amateur Radio knowledge, but after some chats on the different aspect of the hobby he was able to come up with a few ideas. Finally we settled with this final design. JD drew the design in pen and then with some computer magic I added the landscape and the technical info form. This is how the QSL Card appears now. Even though I really like this card the way it is. This is an on going work, so some changes may be made in the future.

.:  g5rv alterantion

At the old qth the G5RV (at the single red mark) is in a slight inverted V up 40 ft / 12 meters on the guyed wooden mast. The G5RV was facing north east and south west broad side. Of course being a inverted V gave some more advantage off the to cover the normally less radiant ends of the wire oppose to being a flat top. This configuration was the best I could do to get up as high as I could. Using a tree at 35ft at one end and a lightweight "A" frame mast up 35ft at the other. I was pertty happy with the results.

Even though the antenna is really only rated for 80 through 10 meters. By using a tuner I have been able to tune down to 1:1 on all the bands including 160m and 6m. Not too bad for an amateur on a budget.
