Just put one homemade vertical EFHW antenna for 17 (70W max) and an almost vertical homemade EFHW for 12 (70W max).


40mts home made dipole

Since 15/11/2020 back on 40mts, home made dipole (heavy noisy urban conds, far from adequate, be tolerant HI).

Since 22/02/2021 I'm on 80mts/40mts and will use mostly 80mts at evening/night local time, home made V inverted loaded dipole top at 12mts.

By now not activ on 6mts.

After some forensic job HI, I found that during the importation from the 'at least' 1995, 1996 and 2000 CQWW DX contest QSOs' from my old contest software to my logging software something goes wrong. Most of the QSOs are off by 1 hour, 2 hours or a day in my logging software and as a result in LoTW and eQSL database. So if you send me a digital QSL via LoTW or eQSL and didn't got a reply, send me the time stamp of your missing QSL and then I will check if you are in my LOG but with a bad QSO time stamp. I corrected 310 QSOs so far, mostly for the 1995 CQ contests. Send me a message with QSO time stamp if you need my confirmation.
