1977 - 1992
I used to be active in VHF/UHF from 1977 up to 1992 and
my Station was a ICOM IC 202 and a TS 700 by Kenwood for the 2m Range
. For 70cm i used a IC 402 from ICOM. The homemade
PA´ S for the 2m (150 W) and 70 cm (200W) made
sure, that signal was strong enough . The 16 ele. and a 21 ele. Tonna with an average height of 50
m below ground, performed very well , but often had trouble with the
weather. Especially on stormy days . the wind
often ripped off parts of the Boom, so i had to repair it very often.
But perfect connections were allways guaranteed I really tried
everything possible at that moment. The short - wave missed -out .
The equipment , a Yaesu Line and a Fritzel GPA 50 decided the events |
