Ham Radio Highlights

Description of antennas:

  • 160, 80 & 40 meter trapped dipole (homebrew)
    • This antenna works exceptionally well. I have been using it for 20+ years.
    • The apex is at about 40 feet with the ends at about 15 feet .
    • Will easily handle 1.2 KW.
  • Mosley Classic CL-33M WARC, Triband Beam for 20, 15 & 10 meter bands plus dipole element for 17 and 12 meter bands
    • This antenna was just removed, cleaned and re-assembled with the 17 & 12 meter element about 3 years ago. Before that I had been using this antenna with excellent results all over the world. It is currently working even better!
    • This antenna is on a winch driven crank-up tower and when tower is fully extended is at about 52 feet (a 10’ mast holds the other antennas above the 52’)
    • Will easily handle 1.2 KW.
  • 6 meter band, 5 element Beam (homebrew)
    • This beam was also removed and cleaned about 3 years ago.
    • This beam is mounted about 5 feet above the Mosley beam making it at about 57 feet.
    •  I have always had excellent results with this beam.
    • I’m not sure what the rating is as I have never exceeded 100 watts on 6 meters, but I pretty sure it would handle at least 500 watts if not more.
  • Comet, CX-333, Tri-band Vertical for 2m, 1.25m & 70cm
    • This vertical was installed new about 3 years above the 6 meter beam putting it at
      about 60 feet
    • This antenna only requires one cable and then uses a triplexer to the different radios
    • This antenna only handles 100 watts
  • 70cm, Commercial Built, 9 element, Dual, Phased Vertical Beams for FM
    • These two 9 element beams are properly phased for maximum forward gain
    • This antenna is at about 45 feet on a second tower that is mounted on the roof of the house
    • This antenna will handle 100 watts
  • 70cm, Directive Systems, 15 element, Horizontal Beam for SSB
    • This antenna is at about 50 feet on the roof mounted tower

All of these antennas are mounted on one of two towers:

  • Tower 1 is a ground mounted, self-supported, 52’, winch driven crank-up tower mounted behind the garage
    • This tower supports the Mosley Classic Beam, 6m Beam and Comet tri-band Vertical
  • Tower 2 is a roof mounted, Heavy duty Guyed, 30’ tower consisting of 3 sections of Rohn 25

  • Both of these towers have rotors to turn the mentioned antennas, except the dipole

Additional equipment & information:
