ANTENNAS

We will use some antennas, some of these are the following, as a HF6, Spiderbeam, monoband dipoles and we will check some new antennas from comercial manufactures as YP3 or similars, we are looking for.

The spider beam is a full size lightweight tribander yagi for 20/15/10m,or 5-band-beam (20-17-15-12-10m). made from fiberglass and wire. It has been specially developed as a highly efficient antenna for dx-pedition and portable use.

While the antenna is as light as a mini beam it maintains the gain and F/B ratio of a typical full size tribander. The whole antenna weight is only 6kg (12 lbs) making it ideally suited for portable use. It can be carried and installed easily by a single person. A small push-up mast and a TV rotator is totally sufficient, saving even more weight on the total setup. The transportation length is only 1.20m

Some telescopics masts for dipoles and alumminium masts for yaguis.

SOFTWARE and COMPUTERS

Each station will use a individual computer.

The software can be downloaded via the links at internet. It's a freeware program designed to do contest logging and some general logging. It is not a general logging program with award tracking etc. but it is mainly a contest program. Also very good for using as a DXpedinionary tools on any laptop .

The program can be used on Windows 95/98/ME and on Windows NT/2000/XP.DOS is not supported. Try to use this log software and explore all facilities.
