We found a nice "light-weight" and very interesting 4 elements beam for 6m band. This flexible, rotary "Human Beam" is operated by British radio amateurs. As we can see, they do not need any expensive rotary mechanism, just some inventiveness and ham spirit ... There is no any feeder lost at all. The fourth element (the 2nd director) is just out of operation. We have no any information, how antenna rotator works in downpour ... Here is the story:
We had a little time before the 70cm RSGB UKAC this evening, and 6m was still open, so we thought we'd make a quick human beam. No feeder loss - the FT-817 was plugged straight into the driven element!
Reflector: M0LCM Driven element: M1BXF Director 1: M0VFC Director 2 would have been M0ZRN, but he didn't arrive early enough! Station worked: OZ1HHH in JO55vk @ 844km from JO02ce Who are they? - read more... |
