Antennas and towers at PA1T

Antennas and towers at PA1T
The antennas at the stations have changed the last years.
In 2016 and 2017 I added 4 new towers in the field next to the house.
The station now has 7 towers and a small eme (moonbounce) tower.

Tower 1, 2 and 3 close to the house are crack up towers and are used for VHF only.

The 3 towers each hold two M2 antennas with 10 meter long booms. These 3 towers are used for contesting and dxing. In tower 2 is also a 4 meter yagi mounted with a 7 meter long boom. Tower 3 holds also a 70cm yagi. The 23cm dish is not used at this moment.

The four new towers in the field are rotating towers with a hight off 25 meters and a top mast and are I numbered them tower 4, 5 , 6 and 7.

Tower 4 has a 16 element triband GXP yagi at 25 meters. (10-15 and 20m).
At 16 meter level there is a 9 elements 50 MHz Yagi on a 12m boom.
At 10 meter level there is a rotery dipole for 10 till 40m

Tower 5 has a 2 element 40m meter yagi in top.

Tower 6 holds a 14 element C31XR for 10, 15 and 20m at 25meter
.At 15 level there is a 7 elements Optibeam. Both yagis are stacked with a MicroHam stackswitch.

Tower 7 has a stack of two 4 elements SteppIr antennas.

Between tower 5 and 7 is a dipole situated at 23 meters for 160 and 80 meters.
