    are the trees a big attenuation for the lower yagis? do you have both a switch to listen on all the yagis or do you both listen on 4 yagi groups + high gain stack? great setup! so much work :-) cu in next contest on5gs

    Where you have 4 Yagis on each level pointing in different directions, is each level linked with phasing harnesses or something to provide an omni directional effect?

    • @dl5nah

      the antennas are phased and it is a specific yagi design for this setup. otherwise the system will not work.

    Bonjour. Ok pour le groupement de 4 long Yagi, mais qu'en est il des autres groupements d'antennes plus bas ? Il y une épaisse forêt à traverser, cela occasionne tout de même des pertes non négligeables. J'aurais choisi un autre site plus dégagé avec moins d'antennes. Ceci dit, impressionnante débauche de moyens ! Cela me rappelle (en bien plus petit) le radio-club de Beaune, F5KCR (dept.21) qui émettait en JN26IX, à moins de 1 km de sa balise (F1ZAW, ex F1XAW 144.468) qui a perdu son site exceptionnel et qui émet désormais depuis le dept. 25 à Vercel, en JN37EE. Reports de la balise bienvenus ! Pour encourager Jean-Michel, à continuer à la bichonner !
    P.S. le R.C. de Beaune a été dissous en l'an 2000.

      Ok, jedoch steckt der finanzielle Aufwand zum größten Teil in der schon ziemlich alten fahrbaren Arbeitsmaschine (LKW). HU, Wartung, Reifen usw, Benzin - ein so großer Mast wird an den allerwenigsten Standorten benötigt. Der Rest ist sehr überschaubar und so viel wie möglich ist Eigenbau.
