D6E2B

This idea came from our friends 9w2dal for this antenna..he really done it very nice finishing..can say it can stand when hard wind coming..this antenna is dual band, consisted of 3ele. on 15m + 3ele. on 20m..both are MonoBand..trap-less..using single feeding, 1:1 current balun on 20m Driven element but on 15m by 'open-sleeve' method..very good combination done by DalBeam..normally people done with tribander beam..but this is special product done by him..it's was seated on G-250 rotator..at the early i think the rotator can't handle this antenna because of weight..but finally the rotator doing a good job..the both antennas can rotate well.. this antenna was given name D6E2B..i'm very happy to belong this antenna done by DalBeam

Local 20m - 9m2get + 9m2ody

After finished WAG Contest at 1459z yesterday, i have worked with 9M2GET at 20m band..like 2m the audio coming..hi hi..to Hairie, this is your audio with your new set up there..so nice audio with your SHURE Prologue 14L + TS950SDX..anyway, happy watching..

Almost forgotten..

Today, 20m band not so good..i think the propagation not at the good shape..which is i feel very hard to get any contact from Germany (WAG Contest) for phone mode..lucky Hairie (9m2get) told me about 15m band..he said 15m open very good..so, i never think that i have Fishing Pole Antenna, which is can work from 40m - 10m bands..so, for sure 15m is in-between the band..using this Fishing Pole Antenna, i only got 12 stations for my logsheets..it's fair enough to make my logsheets look nice..hi hi..anyway, thanks you very much for remind & for supports..

Audio Quality or more Power

Example eSSB

For those who effort to buy a linear amplifier, it's really help on DX when the band condition not so good & it's really need..for normal DX it's also can be use to get nice RST..barefoot with 100w, add more power to 200w..only give 3db different..some can make splatter at others band..how about if we go to eSSB? it's was very nice audio coming but if the setting incorrect, it's will make the audio broad or over-modulated..like example, running with 70w + audio quality & clarity it's really help another station to copy you well even the signal RX shown not too high..that's mean with low power + audio clarity it's really help for DX..2.1kHz is the best bandwidth for audio which is can penetrate all the qrm/qrn..some setting on more treble will be help on this..if bass too high, the audio will be more bassy..for local qso, bass will be help & can make the audio more nicer..anyway, with the very good propagation..all station can work each others even by using low power..
