2. peculiaritiy

- Via EME we have made 17 QSO on 2m and 2 QSO on 70cm!

- Matze mounted a homeade rotor on top of the Moxon-Beam successfuly!
- The 4-Square array confirmed itself as TOP-DX-antenna! A direction switch of 90° reduced the signals to less than 20dB. In Comparisation with the 22 m high Triple-Leg showed a signal strengh of more than 20dB! During the night Europe was off - except DX.
- Sven und Tina have tested the Spieth-Vertical (10-80m), which can be modified without any tuner!


3. other

very important: We don't catched any rain during our stay on the island!!!



OZ1RDP 2008 Aufbau EME
Gaby, Sven, Günni and Tina build up the EME-antennas


OZ1RDP 2008 EME-Antennen
With elevated rotor the antennas automaticly beamed to the moon.
Left a magnetic loop antenna for the 17m-band




 OZ1RDP 2008 Moxon Matze

Matze has mounted the Moxon-Beam 9m high on the mound with a slide tower


OZ1RDP 2008 17m-Loop
17m-loop and vertical for BPSK31. In the background between the towers the triple-leg for 40m.
  Right: one of the 4-square vertical..


OZ1RDP 2008 4-Square
4-square array for the 40m-band. The radial network of each vertical is invisible. In the centre the switching box.


OZ1RDP 2008 4-Square-Box
Switching box of the 4-square array. Left: connectors for HF-input and control-cable.
Above the connector of the HF-control-coax. Right connectors to the verticals.
The antenna system was used up to 1.000W HF in ssb.


OZ1RDP 2008 40m GP
House with 10m flagg-tower and triple-leg for the 40m-band, right tent 1, in the background Günni.
The antenna consists of a 11m high wooden construction together with a 12m long Spiderbeam-glassfiber-tower on top,
fixed and hold by ropes.


OZ1RDP 2008 80mGP Spieth
80m Spieth-vertical with 10m Spieth-glassfiber-tower.


OZ1RDP 2008 Drachenantenne
Also this year we only could make some tests with a dragon-antenna. The wind was blowing unstable, so it was impossible
to hold a longwire antenna on its position.
Maybe next year more.
