Note:  We moved from the location below and haven't stood much of anything up yet. I put up some 13b2's at 20 ft so we could talk to the guys in San Antonio and local area along with a 75mtr antenna for now.

Put a base in and two sections of 45g tower. waiting on guy points too be able to continue install.

The stuff below is on hold for now.

Here is a picture of my HF antennas for the house.  I have since added the 75 mtr wire. I am looking at pulling the 75 mtr wire and adding a 40, 80 and 160 sloper.  Will have to check the dimensions of the yard to see if it will work here.  I have a Comet GP-9 at the top (covers 2mtr and 70cm), next is a TA-33, a 13b2 and just added a hy-gain 6ele. 6mtr beam above the rotor.

Sometime after the first of the year I hope to have a 19 element 2 mtr ssb to replace the 13b2 and turn the 13b2 to vertical.

When I get my  permanent location, I hope to stand a rotating tower for the HF side and put all mono band beams in the air for all the bands plus have a couple of TH-6DXX beams stacked for max gain as prescribed in the ARRL hand book. I hope to do the same for a VHF, UHF and SHF.

I am preparing a satellite uplink/downlink system right now and hope to have it on the air soon.  It will be on a two section aluminium tower to clear the house.  The 2 mtr antenna is a 22 element KLM cross polarized yagi and the 432 beam is a F9FT 19 element cross polarized yagi. I am getting the parts together to add a 10 mtr quad on the common boom for the 10 mtr down link. If you have a hint or suggestion to add or take away from this system please email me. I am always up for learning, especially if you have already been there and done that, it saves so much time and funds.
