Yes ! Finally today I managed to set up a modest station that I will use in the rented house for one year... My rented QRA (with small view of the vertical up the garage)... My vertical... A part of little garden... I have been very busy these latests months and no radio & internet... I put up in the garden an old vertical I used some years ago when I began in HF bands with F4DZY call. It is almost on the ground and no radials... Firsts tests : -1149UTC : FH/G3SWH on 17M CW 579 strong QSB -1336UTC : FH/G3SWH on 15M CW 559 -1343UTC : VQ9JC on 17M CW 569 -1401UTC : V5/DL4SO on 15M CW 579 (pile-up) -1408UTC : V5/DL2SL on 17M SSB 59 real I only use 100W of my ICOM 746 and this vertical... Seems working correctly.
