Ok, so I just went ahead and made it just like the Alpha Delta DX-CC, which is a 40/20/10m with trapped 80m.  It is also resonate on 15m too.  It is setup as a slightly sloped inverted-V. I installed a … Continue reading →

I added a trap to the 40-20m fan dipole, so it can get 80m. Here is a iPhone Panorama photo of the antenna mounted 6 ft above chimney at home.   Unfortunately the 40m is too short resonate at 7.35Mhz … Continue reading →

I basically made the same 40m dipole from http://www.amateurradio.bz/40m_v.html and added a 20m fan dipole to it, so I can work both bands I built the same fed point connector described by: http://www.amateurradio.bz/feedpoint.html I plan on using mostly digital modes, so I … Continue reading →

I ended up building a Yagi DualBand from an old TV Antenna I was inspired by the videos at: http://amateurradio.bz/tri-band_yagi.html Since I had a 80″ boom I decided to create my own custom measurements, I used 440Mhz and 146Mhz on a … Continue reading →

I put up the Elk Log Periodic Dualband 2m/70cm antenna up on the roof at work, and wow! I can now hit repeaters in Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, and San Diego.  I have also been able to hear SO-50 and AO-27 … Continue reading →

Just picked up a Elk  Dual Band Five element log periodic antenna from HRO.  So far it’s looking like it’s working. I’m hitting some far away repeaters.  I’m going to get it setup on the  tripod and antenna rotator and … Continue reading →

I moved to Brea, CA in September 2011.  Since I’ve moved to the new location, I haven’t done much on the air.  I have actually down sized my gear a bunch and only have 2 radios now, FT-857D HF/VHF/UHF at … Continue reading →

I am now officially KU6Z (formerly AG6DI) as of Sept 16, 2011. I wanted to get a 4 character callsign before they are even more difficult to get. Luckily I was able to use http://www.vanityhq.com/ to help me find out what … Continue reading →

I decided to add on the IF-2000 board to my FT-950 and run the output to a RF-Space SDR-IQ.  It is really nice being able to see 200Khz of the band at a time.  I use the software from SDR-Radio.com … Continue reading →
