Ieri, a fost Duminica, si de regula nu prea "lucrez" nimic important, pe vremuri ieseam la un pescuit cu pietenii, dar azi cei mai multi sunt deja dincolo iar eu pe aici cu ziua. Se anunta frig asa ca am pregatit antena magnetica pt sezon de iarna ocazie cu care am facut o proba de lucru si o scurta filmare. Am lucrat usor doua statii din UK : 26DR306 Mike si 26DY01 - Derek, din Norwich,  cu 20w din Avanti Grande.

Cum suna banda puteti auzi aici : YouTube

RTX : Am vinat in mod special dupa indicativul 108RC000/B - op Kevin, care-mi lipsea din log ... cu greu l-am lucrat pe 605usb in QRM puternic din FM UK si numai cu indicativul 233LR010 caci 233BSD nu-l intelegea ca e fara numar de unitate :-) astepta neaparat sa se termine indicativul cu numere. De, obisnuinta si probabil virsta. Apoi am mai facut numai citeva QSO-uri caci era aglomeratie mare in frecventa. 68DT120 , 14HS645 - Arnaud, Rouen, 615, President Lincoln I, A99 ; 108AT102 - Mark ; 26WR001/Mobil - David ; 26OP519 - Ray, Yaesu DX10, 14LMB077 - Daniel, Boudou (Touluse).

Antenele de tipul acesta merita atentite caci sunt o solutie pt multi amatori care nu au alte conditii si tot ce-ti trebuie e un pic de inaltime fata de sol, in cazul meu am vreo H=7,2m pe care coboara firul radiant de vreo L=5,2m. Balunul folosit este rezonant si implicit avem o anetena monobanda 11m, dar este facut dint-un simplu cablu coax 75 ohmi usor de gasit si ieftin. Alta solutie ar putea fi un balun de 64:1 ... dar iti trebuie un tor bun Amidon T200 material 43 parca si asta costa mai ales daca vrei bagi putere in el atunci trebuie 3 buc. Am sa revin mai pe larg cu alt material.

My Zepp antenna for CB

In the first photo you can se the coaxilal balun and the radiant wire cut L/2 going down. Note that I have used this time two ferrite shok on the coaxial 50 Ohmi cable wich is not to long to give me some counterpoise.

In the second photo you can see that the SWR on 555 is good 1:1.3

Propagation was not very good but I have good RX, the problem is can't put power from KL203 in this antenna, only low 20w give me very low swr 1:1,2 but is better that nothing.
