Preparation for the CQ WPX RTTY Contest

/in /by

The date of the contest is approaching and three days before the contest, we haven’t even built any antennas.

At the beginning, we couldn’t agree on where to start, but in the end, all turned out well. :) The antenna is ready for operation. Due to the fact that our club premises are being renovated, we will compete in the contest from my office.

Our current premises doe not allow the construction of multiple masts for multiple antenna systems. This setup is also more convenient when service is required.
