Now on 80m Roomcap from Puerto Rico
On the 4th of January 2009, Milton, WP4DQK reported his 30m
and 40m results.
Now he built the 80m version.
He compared with a 40m Long Wire antenna and received the
better results with the Roomcap antenna of 2m size!
(Two operators: Milton WP4DQK, and Alberto WP4L)

Hi Felix:
We are working with a new RoomCap model for 80m band and
we tested it last night. We get very well surprise with it.
For this band we only have a Long Wire antenna, which is half
wave long on 80m, tuned with MFJ-969 inside the shack.
This antenna always give us good result to Europe and US Station.
The RoomCap was installed at the same place we put the other
models (on Roof Observatory) and for ours good surprise, both
antennas have the same signals, but sometimes the RoomCap
goes 1 and 2 S units better.
Again, this is incredible good for this size radiating element.
How works?
Incredible well. We tried to put on air as soon as possible, because
we wanted to work some States Stations on North America QSO party
yesterday night and we did. I worked 23 Stations (one VE2 in Ontario)
running 100W. This was during watching TV and getting in and out
of the shack by small operating time.
I remember that only two stations do not copy me the first try and
only one station from West Virgina do not copy me at all with any
of the antennas.
All the contact did with the RoomCap.
Passing the midnight Dad (WP4L) Start calling DX on the low part
of the band and work tree EU station with 579 to 599 reports and
another US Stations. This morning, my Dad was working a Rod Island
(Rhode Island) Station that copy him on the RoomCap and
loose him completely on the Long Wire antenna.
Again, this is not a scientific antenna test and a lot of things may
be affecting the antennas, but the 80m RoomCap show a very hard
contester against the Long Wire. I see up to 2 S units better signals
on the RoomCap with some Stations.
Thanks for the good antenna and the lot of fun...
Best 73!
Milton WP4DQK
