After a week of a lot of antenna thoughts, I managed, with help, to add a few to the farm. First, the Cushcraft A3S went up on a 23 foot wooden mast last week. It's aimed South at the moment, but I may point it west. This antenna came from the Estate of KE4GY, Frank Moore. Frank suddenly passed away this past December. Frank was a good man and is deeply missed. He was a regular at the PVRCNC meetings. Bert, N4CW, is in charge of the radio equipment from the estate. Thanks for
The A3S is working well. The intention is to use it for mults to the south in DX contests.
This past Saturday (Feb. 7th), my good friend Jack, W0UCE came over to help me install an antenna that favors the Northwest. After much thought, we decided to take the easy route and go with a driven element from an old tribander. The antenna is very high for my QTH, it's near 80 to 85 feet up. It tunes well on 20 and 10 and it's acceptable on 15M. It compliments the existing antennas very well. Special thanks to Jack for helping out.
