My 9m telescop tower MC-800 from WiMo with 4x11el Flexa yagi for 2m and 2x23el Flexa yagi for 70cm. (with 9m it is not high enough to look over our and neighbours house, so in the section to the West moon has to have at least abt 10 degree elevation for me.) You already see 3x 23el yagis for 70cm because I also wanted to build up 4x23el for 70cm but I missed the fourth antenna with the last truck and have to wait until summer.

On 70cm now with 3x23el + 1x13el :-)

which was just in time before winter started at 28th October 2011:

Somebody told me that a real om also in winter is working at the antenna. So to proof that I am also a real om with still a virulent ham radio virus on Sunday 20th November with -11 Celsius i brought up the finally arrived 4th 23el Flexa Yagi.

Horizontal rotor now is a YAESU G-2800DXC and vertical a CREATE ERC-5A.
Preamps: MHP 145 from ssb electronic for 2m and MKU LNA 432 A from DB6NT (Kuhne) with HF-402 Double-Coaxrelay for 70cm.
Cable is 30m ECOFLEX 15 each band.
Rig: Flex-5000A SDR-radio, for 2m a BEKO HLV-750 pa and for 70cm a BEKO HLV-550 (BEKO are the the best pa for vhf/uhf I ever had !).
I got operational with my FlexRadio Flex-5000A 21st March 2012. It is the radio with the 2m und 70cm band built in and I enjoy it very much.
It is the best radio I ever had, with a supreme receive!
For shortwave I only have a gp and a FD4.
Unfortunately the main purpose of my stay here is to work in my office. So time for amateur radio is limited and I am not able to work on skeds. If I am on the band and moon is visible I anounce it in the N0UK logger.
My station is not a big gun, especially on 70cm, but I would like to give dxcc UN to as many stations as possible. Therefore I try to cq very often. Please listen on my qrg (122 LBH 1st). Sometimes it needs some trials but I already worked some single Yagi stations on 2m and I hope that I also can work some smaller stations on 70cm and make some ever first contacts from UN.
See you on the bands !!
