Some pictures from the past !


The first test with 2 yagi's in the summer of 2005. My new house was just build and my garden empty.


Antennas in winter 2005/2006. Flexayagi FX224 (144MHz) and Cuedee 17 elements (432MHz).


Two times Flexayagi FX224 with CF300 and 1/2" LCF12-50 in summer 2006. In the background my Tennamast with 70cm yagi, Wellbrook ALA1530 loop and Comet X50.


Two times 21 elements F9FT for 432MHz in top of the Tennamast. New since July 13th and replacing the single 17 elements Cuedee.


Experimental 70cm EME portable operation in the garden of my house. See also 432MHz.


Measuring SWR and power at the antenna with a Bird 43 meter


Building the new EME stack on the roof in the summer of 2006 at high temperatures of more than 30 degrees Centigrade.


Testing the feeders, powersplitter, preamp and coaxrelais before mounting on the roof.


As you can see, radio is a wireless hobby; a lot of feeders and rotatorcables.


Hard too see but these are my antenna in the light of full moon.


Grrrr .... another fet in the preamp broken :-(


All the EME antenna at the roof of my house.


Another overview, now with my stacked F9FT for 70cm in use for tropo.


A Tonna yagi for a ATV test. Only a few weeks QRV with ATV.


My new stack in use since March 2007. Also 70cm added.


The latest stack pointing to the moon.


My antenna farm; a complete overview.


All the TX feeders are ½” LCF by Cellflex.


My new 2mtr yagi's DK7ZB homemade. See also 144MHz section.


Again 70cm added. Now 2x16 dk7zb vertical to lower local noise.


The “summer 2008” stack, a view from the garden of my neighbors.
