ZL4KF Amateur Radio Station - New Zealand


 

 


zl4kf station

Presently the station equipment consists of an elderly Yaesu FT901DM along with the YO901 'Scope, Heathkit SB220 and other accessories, all rather old but still working.. The mic is about the newest thing (10 years old!) - a Heil HM-109.

For antennas I have a home-brew 3 element 20 meter Yagi  on a tower which can be raised to 90 feet but more normally sits at about 75 feet. Although it's not a large, long-boom antenna it works very well and is about as large an antenna as I can reliably use here on the hill-top where it is often very windy.

For 80 meters I have a nearly full size vertical on the roof of a large corrugated iron workshop roof. There are a number of elevated radials attached to this as well and it works quite well for DX.  » Antenna pics
