ZL9HR - 17700km !

Beautiful winter afternoon here in Tallinn. -3 degrees, 12cm of snow, nice sunshine.

Worked my #268 dxcc on 15m long path. Campbell isl , ZL9HR. 17700km. That's almost the most distant place (the most distant being Chatham isl, 17750km) one could go from Tallinn. Very nice..

First ever antenna for 10m - 3el yagi!

Well guys, now when the Sun is finally cooperating, it was about time to put something up for 10m. I have never had anything on that band. I borrowed a 3el yagi from my friend Gary, ES1WST.

Bolted it to an old TV antenna mast, with an 1.5m extension tube. There is no room for the rotator, as the elements would be stuck into 15m moxon guy wires. I fixed it towards Japan for now.

Welcome to 15m

It was a nice and windless day here in Tallinn today. I used the opportunity and replaced my 20m moxon antenna (which was a real workhorse for W6,W7 during the summer) with 15m band moxon. God it looks good from the ground.

By the end of the day I worked 91 W-s, 49 JA-s, 4 VK-s, 3 ZL-s.

The 15 moxon stays up at least until the end of April 2013.

I hope it will be my best JA band.

JCC milestone, 40%

Got a bureau card from JA9YYI, Uozu city, Toyama prefecture. It means that 40% of all possible JCC's are now confirmed with cards!
