The heavy-lifting antenna crew erected four towers today, supporting three tri-band beams, two moxon antennas, and a 80/40m fan dipole,  By 4 PM the tents were up, feedlines installed, and on-air tests completed.

From left to right – CW tent, tower and moxon. GOTA tower and fan dipole, Phone tower and moxon. 6 meter moxon.

Testing this early morning indicated excellent antenna performance on 80/40/20 meters.  15 meter was dead along with 10 meters.  5 watts to our antennas would yield 15 dB above the noise floor signals in the middle of the country.  So add about 13 more dB for 100 watts, and the signal levels will eexcellent.
