My first (hex)beam

In my ham carreer so far I've been using only vertical and wire antennas.

Since beginning of May 2023 I put an hexbeam on the roof.

 

Summer activity as I6/OT1V (Morrovalle, in the province of Macerata), JN63SG

Longwire on two fishrods and a CG3000 AT.

Working decently from 6 to 80 meters.
 

DXCC score 19 June 2022

9X is the latest confirmed DXCC country on 80m. Here my total DXCC score as of today 19/6/2022.

 

Yet another new on 80m: VK6EI

 

The G5RV doing a great job tonight, using all 100W of the IC-7300.

Another new one, not really in the best season for 80m propagation.

New one on 80m/ft8: YB1BZV

 

Impressive ears! +02 on 80m/FT8 from YB1BZV.

New one on 80m: VP8/Falkland Islands

A new one in a silent 80m band: VP8A!

 

Long G5RV back to the roof, YB heard on 80m

 After a couple of years my long G5RV is back to the roof.

It's for sure not the best season for 80m but I can decode YB0RUS tonight.

Tried to reply several times but nothing. And he probably gave up CQing...
