Vacation home in solitary location with amateur radio use


Dear ham radio enthusiast,

As already mentioned on the homepage, I am a passionate radio amateur who carries out his hobby almost exclusively in CW. Therefore, after the fundamental renovation of the house in the period 2020 to date, a shack was established, which fulfills all wishes for DX traffic. Thus, in addition to the radio equipment with power amplifiers, a total of 5 antenna masts are installed:

  1. A freestanding mast 18m high with 5 el. 10m beam, 5 el. 6m beam and 2 el. quad for 30m.

  2. A free standing mast 18m high, with 5 el. monobander for 20m

  3. One free standing mast 16m high, with 5 el. monobander for 15m

  4. A free standing mast 28m high with 12 el. log periodic and a 2 el quad for 40m.

  5. One guyed mast 40m high with dipole for 80m and 160m

  

Tower 40m (80/160m Dipole)                           20m/15m 5el. Monobander @ 18m and 16m

10m/6m 5el. Monobander                                                     LogPer 6m - 20m and 2 el. Quad 40m @ 28m


The radio station consists of:

  1. 2 x FT1000MarkV Field with 2 x PA OM Power

  2. 1 x FT1000D with MOSFET PA

  3. 1 x FT2000D with Siemens tube PA RS1012

  4. 1 x FTdx5000 either with Siemens tubes PA or MOSFET PA (another MOSFET PA is almost ready)

Due to the location on a hill with 360 degree panoramic view and sloping terrain all DX areas are easy to reach, pileups easy to crack. Contest results on qrz.com speak for themselves.
The location is far away from the next development (1,500 feet minimum) and is absolutely free of interference, i.e. no manmade noise, so that even the thinnest signals can be heard well.
 

Of course, a radio amateur can also bring his own radio station and operate it on the existing antennas. This has the advantage that one does not have to get used to a new operation.
If required, I am happy to measure your equipment on the professional measuring instruments or create measurement protocols. Spectrum analyzers, service and network analyzers are available. Also I can be helpful, due to the experience by years with Motorola Solutions, with possible repairs.
