Winter is on the corner and the CQWW also. So it is time to see what is the status off the low band antennas. Well I found out that the remote tuner for the north south dipole is swimming.
It is only a coil a few c’s and a small motor so I hope I will manage to get it working again.
The other dipole had one broken leg and i repaired it.
The spider pole on top of the vertical for 160 and 80 meter is inserted a little bit and has to come down to be repaired. Thats planned for next week.

To overcome some problems between my IC7800 and DX4WIN I updated the firmware from V2.10 to V2.30. A little bit tricky because I do not have a UPS and if power fails during the update process you can send the radio to Japan. In the end it went all well….and V2.30 is working fine.

This will be the new towers. They will be placed in the land next to the house. If all goes well building starts in March 2013. The towers will be build by Simo YT3M.
