Unfortunally this year there was no photo of the group. Participants: Micha (DB1MV), Jutta (swl), Klaus (DC4NA), Tobi (DL4KBS), Rüdiger (DO1ERS), Norbert (swl), Matze (DL9BQ), Günni (DL9BCP) Jürgen (DC5WT) came over from Sylt (EU-042) for a visit. 1. equipment Station                 Band                         Mode                                  Antenna (*=homemade) tent 1                     40m                         SSB                                         2-ele-Beam HyGain                              40m                         SSB                                            Double-Zeppelin (*) tent 2               10m/15m/20m                SSB                                2-ele-3-Band Moxon-Beam (*)                             tent 3                      2m                          SSB                                              10-ele-Yagi                              20m                         CW                                              Vertical (GPA30)                        2. New DXCC's - 3. peculiaritiy - The hard work to mount the 2-ele-Beam for 40m at least was not ended by success. During receiving the Beam showed only a few beam-direction. Working the station with >150W  HF-power, the SWR slowly drifted off. For turning the antenna, "Armstrong" was used, a rotor more surely had become to much weight within mounting antenna and tower. - Nearly all Connections on 40m were made with the double-zeppelin. 4. others Of course we got rain during the weekend!

Due to the last-years DX-contacts (VK, ZL) with a simple triple leg groundplane, this year again a DX-antenna should be used. The Bremer Funkergilde
is owner of a 2-element-monobandbeam for the 40m-band from HyGain. Together with the Aluminium-stick-tower  the beam overlooked the trees
arround - let's go. With the help of a car the tower was mounted slowly.


  
For turning the antenna, "Armstrong" was used, a rotor more surely had become to much weight within mounting antenna and tower.Working the station with >150W  HF-power, the SWR slowly drifted off. So at least most radio-contacts were made with the double-zeppelin antenna, which was put up between flagg-tower and lightning mast. This work we made twice: the first and last time!
