We have plans to improve the antenna system yet on 2018. Probably the new setup will be assembled in May – 2018 and will consists of:

Tower 1 – Self Supported 60ft tower: KT34XA @ 13mH (fixed to NA) + KT34XA @ 18mH & Cushcraft XM240 @ 21mH – this will be our main running setup. The 1/4wl vertical will be mantained and the number of elevated radials increased.

Tower 2 – Self Supported 60ft tower: Cushcraft A4S @18mH + Cushcraft XM240 @ 21mH – this will be the hunter main setup. The 1/2 sloper for 160m will be mantained.

Tower 3 – The 7 elem. 10m Yagi will be down and the tower relocated.

RX Antennas – For the 2018 CQWW season we hope to have some RX antennas specially setup for 80m and 160m. Probably some 2 x 600ft beverages to NA & EU + K9AY.

By now, this is our planning. More information will be posted soon on this blog!.
