Today is the day! The chimney repair guy is dropping by today to do his magic. The jointing of our chimney is so bad, it just falls out by itself. So it’s not a good idea to put any antenna’s to it in this state.
He thought it would take a day to replace the jointing, so hopefully he’ll be able to finish the job by the end of the day.
I did pick up my new prepared glass fiber pole yesterday at Fred’s, PA3YH. Also attached my brand new Fritzel 1:6 1KW balun to it for the FD-3 wire antenna. On top there will be my Diamond X200N dual bander for 2m/70cm.
Hopefully next weekend the weather is good enough to put up the new mast to the chimney!

Week of CW-holiday
At the end of next week I’ll stay at QTH-locator JO32EK, the eastern part of The Netherlands for a week of holiday. The house we rent is in the middle of nature and (hopefully) has plenty opportunity to put up some antenna gear. At least I’ll bring my Buddipole. I only have traveling space for the Elecraft K1 receiver, so operation will be QRP, but it will be interesting. There is WiFi available in the house, so be prepared for some photo’s soon!
At home antenna’s are down at the moment due to chimney restorations. No radio-activity for a longer time, I’m afraid.
