Re: LF: EA5DOM going vertical

[DK7FC <selberdenken@posteo.de>]

Hi Luis,

My congrats!!!
This is a very good result for an unloaded 10m vertical antenna!
The coil will make a big difference, a few 10 dB i expect, although this is hard to imagine since your reports are very good already.

Do you like to try a QRSS-3 (or DFCW) QSO? :-) Would be my first on that band to EA.

73, Stefan

PS: Show us some photos of the new arrangement.

New experiment ongoing tonight :-)

Just the 10,25m vertical with one vertical radial about 11m long hanging down

A vertical dipole, really

No coil, no adaptation. Have used this with the bare U3 and thought it would not be

possible to use the PA due to mismatch. But tried .... and it is not so bad :-O

Reports from EU stations show that the vertical radiates much better Dx signal

than the horizontal loop, even counting on the crude feeding system used

We all knew that. Just a confirmation ;-)

Working in the coil this weekend

Keep tuned
