Report: DL7AFB on his VHF radio station, using a Elecraft K2 qrp transceiver, a high dynamics transverter and a ME-750V (GU-74) power amplifier. In the background the new GS-35b amplifier came to first operation for a short time, just to perform some initial testings at half of the recommended anode voltage. To achieve best receiving performance, no pre-amplifier was connected. In front of the SRA1-H high level mixer only a pair of BFP-193 low-noise silicon transistors with Norton-Feedback was placed, delivering about 14dB gain at 1.7dB NF and 13dBm IP3in, respectively.

Contest weather: Indian summer with high pressure core over Scandinavia brought reasonable DX conditions in all directions
Report: (left) DL7AKL and his brand new radio shack inside a trailer. Equipment used: Elecraft K2, Transverter, tiny transistorised PA ;-) (middle) 8 stacked 8 elements DL6WU Yagi, delivering about 19dB gain above Dipole.

2010 - September, IARU-Region1-Contest from JO62ja, 155m asl
Contest weather: mix of clouds, rain and sunshine as in April, nevertheless DX conditions 360° more than 600km
Report: Since, the system keeps on running more and more stable, almost the same equipment came to operation as last times (see below). The 4 stacked 9 element Tonna Yagi Array was once again located close to a wind power station to improve the co-existence to my closest neighbour station DF0YY (JO62gd) by spending some dB of extra isolation. The shack was built up in a more comfortable trailer than the times before. The well proved K2 (Elecraft) and DL7AKL's homemade high-level transverter came to operation, as well as the ME-750 Amplifier with a GU-74 (4CX800). As transmission line 10m of Times Microwave 1/2" Coaxial-Cable was used, giving just 0,3dB attenuation to the antenna. Therefore no low-noise preamplifier was required at the antenna.

Preface: since VHF propagation is mainly influenced
by the weather, that contest weekend was dominated by several low pressure
systems over central Europe. Although some remarkable tropo DX QSO's were made,
the propagation conditions in general were moderate and in addition to that the
activity quite low - perhaps due to the heavy rain falls all around.

2010 - March, Visiting
DF0MTL
Since we both, DL7AFB and DL7AKL, are active at nice and warm
weather only, the March-Contest is a good time for making a visit to some other
contesters in the neighbourhood. This year we visited the club station
DF0MTL operating from the "Deditzer Hoehe",
in JO61JF. Stefan, DL9GRE, gave
a warm welcome and introduced us to the crew. The pictures showing (left) Microwave Station 23cm and up on 1m dish (middle)

www.tecadi.de ought to replace the recently
used 3 stacked yagis array by a 4-stacked system. Unfortunately the aluminium
pipe did not withstand the tremendous mechanical stress during erection and
broke - see detailed report below. So we had to improvise a smaller set-up out
of the remaining pieces. (right)

QSOs 2m:
Experience made with
TECADI Mast Systems
Disaster during first erection: for correct adjustment
of all guy ropes the first trial was carried
out carefully without any load. Step by step three, six, nine and at last
twelve 1.2-m segments were stacked
giving a total height of 14.4-m. As recommended, each third segment got a guy.
At 3.6m, 7.2m, 10.8m, 14.4m, respectively, the mast was tied with 4mm high
strengths Dyneema® rope. A
4.8m gin-pole made out of four TECADI segments and a pulley was used for lifting
the mast. After reaching an elevation of about 60° at full length the mast
suddenly collapsed. Pictures showing the material damage. Luckily no one got
injured. 2009 - May,
