2010 october: -Our (dm7c) new 4 square array is ready and worked fine in the cqww cw part with more than 2050 qsos. Many thanks to Spiderbeam for the great and quick help with the brocken 18m tower. -Tnx Ben Götzel for climbing up to the 80m antenna in 50 ft height in a birchtree and changed the insulator! -New 160m INV L is erected with 3 elevated radials. This is made from a 18m spiderbeam tower and the end of the wire was archered over a pine tree in 90 ft height. 2010 june: again tnx to Dirk, dl6cx for helping to repair the LP7, triple leg and other antennas. 2009 august: many thanks to Dirk DL6CX for his great help and organisation to built up my new 80m triple leg in about 33m height
2010 april: much snow this year but antennas still working fine
K5D the highlight for my log: new DXCC and 6 Bandpoints so far 2008 - Many thanks to my good friends DL6CX and DL9CX for their help to maintained the LP7 after 9 years - Eyeball-QSO with 3B8CF Jacky in July 2008 - OK1AW and his friend visited me to install the HAMRADIO CONTROLLER 2.0
- EA8/DL7CX was active in february from El Porche/GC 2007 my 24mounth old ham offspring Nele will be active next time! I hope .... hihi!
october 2007: my new 40m triple leg works great! january/february 2007: highlights were ufb DXpetitons and some single operations from good ham friends like: HK0GU - V31FG - V31YN VU7RG - YW0DX - VK9DNX 2006 antenna maintennance: a new 160m vertical was built up in november - GP for 80m must reconstructed in the spring! 2005 dec: snowstorm destroyed my 160m antenna a snowwizard with abt. 150km/h broke a tree with my 160m fiberglas on the top. So I can only built up a new one in spring if I can find an other high tree. 40m triple leg has to be check out. 2005 nov: balloonstory CQWW CW 2005 CQWW finished with 995 qsos and 84 DXCC/18 WAZ 2005: Balloonstory in the CQWW CW 2005 After a great result in the CQWW 2004 SO 160m HP I decided to make it again. (1000 qsos 19 WAZ / 80 DXCC) First let me thank Dirk, DL6CX for his great help during the antenna building and his good ideas to manage the "Murphies". A heliumballoon (diameter 1.7 m) played a good match during the CQWW CW and tnx to all stations which called me! In the end I had more than 1000 QSO's in the log. Some friends and I made this antenna on a field in front of my house. The balloon was constructed on a wooden/fiberglas-mast like a triple leg antenna. The loaded point was 12m above the ground. One part of the vertical section was fixed on 8m fiberglas to save weight and the other 32m were connected to the balloon. Three 40m radials led to 3m height.
and in the year 2004
2005 august: a tornado/thunderstorm destroyed my complete antennasystem 01st august 2005: destroyed vertical antennas because a 150km/h tornado in my region !!! but now with help from my friend DL6CX we built up 3 new verticals and reconstruct the LP7 from Titanex tnx to DL6CX for his great help
2005 februar: EA8/DL7CX hamholiday at Bills, EA8AZC Der Spiderbeam läuft zur vollsten Zufriedenheit. Wir verbrachten eine wie immer viel zu kurze Ferienwoche in El Porche! Vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber, die uns wieder excellent betreut haben. Ein Urlaub bei Bill und Brigitte ist nach 3 Jahren "El Porche" wärmstens zu empfehlen. EA8/DL7CX 2004 Brigitte und EA8AZC, Bill haben uns auch dieses Jahr aufs herzlichste aufgenommen. Der Aufbau eines Spiderbeams ( nach df4sa ) bildete den funkerischen Höhepunkt....sie soll noch lange Jahre ihre Dienste verrichten....Bill ist nun mit mindestens 2-Stufen stärker zu hören. Na dann bis nächsten Jahr !!! EA8/DL7CX 2003 Mein EA8-Trip vom 17.-23.02.2003 war mehr als erfolgreich, was vor allem an der warmherzigen Aufnahme bei Bill, EA8AZC und dessen YL Brigitte lag...Sein QTH "El Porche" ist herrlich gelegen und bietet in ruhiger Lage Entspannung pur...wenn man nicht gerade ein 160m Freak ist...hihi...eine 160m "INV L"..mit Hilfe eines Fiberglasmastes und einer Palme errichtet...spielte bei Low Power ganz brauchbar...ODX: VY2ZM und UA2FB ... beide mit ufb RX...was man von einigen "big guns" nicht sagen kann...! ( 10KW und no RX..sri for qrp...). Auf diesem Wege nochmals vielen Dank an Brigitte und Bill aus El Palmital.
