zl4kf station
The equipment consists of a new (August 2009) Yaesu FT2000D along with the DMU and matching speaker, a Heil headset and a Heathkit SB220.
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.
Computer designed about 15 years ago it has a good F/B ratio, good gain
and is tuned for 14.2 MHz.
For 80 meters I have a full size ¼λ vertical on the roof of a large corrugated iron workshop roof. There are
20 or so elevated radials attached and it all works quite well for DX.
On 40 there is a ¼λ vertical on another steel
roof and there is also a backup 20 meter vertical, again on a metal
roof.
