Biography

DIY on antennas and accessories is my second hobby, i tested varius antennas configurations verticals, yagis, quads, simple dipoles and loops, my previous interlaced set up (see down photo)was destroyed the night between 21/22 December 2023 by a very strong Foehn wind descending from the Alps towards West - North West as always happens with the Foehn (it reached peaks of 220 km per hour (140 miles).
From September 10, 2024 to the resumption of my Radio activity, waiting for the better weather to install the new antenna Kohjinsha KA1-406S Antenna, i made several test on 5/8 wave vertical antennas, my actual set up (February 2025) running 5/8 wire vertical in 10/12/15/17/20/30 m. and 1/2 vertical in 40/60/80 m. ant 1/4 wave in 160 m. all feed with window line 300/450 homs to a tuner in the shack, results are very positive, that's all for now, 73' and Good DX
