Family Vacation in SV5

I plan to visit Kos Island (IOTA EU-001) from July 25th to Aug 5th. TRX will be in my luggage for sure.

Unfortunatelly I will come to island on Saturday 25th. I hope I will be ready for 2nd part of the IOTA contest. So stick up for me to arrange everything in time :-)

Another weekend is EU HF Contest. If the hotel management will be patient I will participate in this contest as well.

My supposed working conditions:

TRX FT-897D + tuner AT-897
telescopic pole 12m
half-size G5RV (40-10m)
dipole (80-40-20)
laptop with N6TR (DOS version)

See you on the air as SV5/OK2PTZ or SV5/OK6Y!

Final adjustment of 2xK9AY phased RX system

I mentioned my 2xK9AY receiving phased system many times here. It has been installed during last winter. All cables were installed temporarily and I didn´t care much about them. I slightly sorted them out during the March but it was still temporary installation. Some time I achieved to ride with grass-cutter among the cables without any problem. But accident came without any notice and one coax cable got direct cut. So right moment occured to make the final installation.


The following pictures show how the final installation gone:

1. hard work on southern K9AY - the intrenchment of control cables and koax










2. hard work on northern K9AY





3. control and phased unit

4. inside view

5. phasing cable

6. view to southern antenna. Only N-S loop is installed.
