Today is the day of the 40m antennas: We put up the second 2-ele Cushcraft 40-2CD on our 100ft mobile tower - again only at 65ft due to possible winds:

On the beach there is a 2-ele Vertical Array (spacing 1/8 wavelength) coming up. It is made from two fishing rods and some pieces of wire. This is our cheapest antenna - but was good for over 80% of our 4,400 total 40m QSOs...


One half of the 2-ele Array. The second vertical is still lying on the ground.
