Spiderbeam 20-10m at 40 ft atop, antennas for 2m / 70cm/ 23cm / 3cm during a starry night at full moon
At present I am working now with a homemade inverted L- antenna for 160 – 30m, mounted along a 15 m fiberglass-mast. For the higher bands I use a Spiderbeam. With an Elecraft K3 and an ICOM IC-735 Transceiver I am active mostly in CW and FT8 mode.
Equipment for Shortwave:
| Transceiver | Amplifier | Antenna |
| 1x Elecraft K3 + P3, 1x Icom IC735 |
1 x Acom, 1 x HA8UG |
Inv. L-Ant. 1.8…10 MHz Spiderbeam 14…30 MHz |
| Status: Active | ||
Worked DXCC – Entities (= Countries) per band:
| DXCC Total | DXCC by Modes | Bandpoints | ||||
| (max. 340) | CW | SSB | DIGI | Challenge | 5-Band | WARC |
| 338 | 333 | 318 | 306 | 2.594 | 1.412 | 918 |
| DXCC – Countries worked on different Bands | |||||||||
| 160 m | 80 m | 60 m | 40 m | 30 m | 20 m | 17 m | 15 m | 12 m | 10 m |
| 135 | 203 | 95 | 290 | 317 | 326 | 318 | 304 | 283 | 289 |
But there is still some work to do. Here are my “Most wanted” to complete all 340 entities:
# 339 KH3 – Johnston Isl. // Oceania
# 340 KH7K – Kure Isl. // Oceania
That’s all folks! Hopefully I can complete some time…!
