Roomcap Antenna for DX on 80m
After the CQWW contest of 29./30.Nov 2008 Noriaki Fujiyama, JA8CNF
from Hokkaido wrote me the results he obtained with this antenna.
He built the antenna recently and installed it on the roof of his house.
No tower, just putting the radiator (180 cm long) on the roof, tied by
three nylon ropes.
With this antenna he obtained the following 2 way contacts (all 80m):
54 DXCC countries in 110 QSOs, with the following distribution:
Northamerica 18
Carribbean 1
Asia 26
Oceania 15
Africa 1
Europe 49
His equipment: FT1000-MP (200 W PEP).
This demonstrates impressively the efficiency of the antenna,
and also the low angle radiation required for DX.
On my HP you can see the picture of the installed antenna on the roof
of the house.
Thanks Noriaki for this report
