The next step in our EME project is to assemble the four M2 Antenna Systems 2MXP28 Yagis. The four EME Antennas in our array will have a total of 112 elements! These antennas are large, cross-polarized yagis. They feature 28 elements each on 34 1/2 foot booms…
We are building four M2 2MXP28 Antennas to be mounted on an M2 Antennas 2X2 H-Frame. It is important that the four antennas be identical so they operate properly as an array. This includes things like symmetrical mounting and alignment of each antenna’s vertical and horizontal elements and the associated feed points.
The article in the link above covers the steps, tips, and tricks that we are using to assemble four of these large, 2m X-pol Yagi Antennas. The approach, tools, and techniques are applicable to a wide range of VHF and UHF Yagi antennas.
The 2020 13 Colonies Special Event begins on Wednesday, July 1st at 9 am Eastern Time! There will be stations in each of the states that grew from the original Thirteen Colonies plus two bonu…
13 Colonies Special Event QSL Card for K2K, New Hampshire
The idea is to try to work all 13 Colonies Special Event stations K2A – K2M and the two bonus stations – WM3PEN and GB13COL. There is a nice certificate available for working one or more of the Colonies as well as QSL cards from each of the K2x stations. Check qrz.com for QSL information and the Thirteen Colonies Special Event website for certificate information.
K2K New Hampshire will be operating from a number of locations in the great state of New Hampshire including from AB1OC/AB1QB and KC1XX. We will be operating SSB, CW, Digital (FT8/FT4), and via Satellites! We are going to spend some time on 6m and perhaps 2m and 70cm if we have some Tropo openings.
You can learn more about the 2020 event via the link above. I hope we’ll see you in the pileups!
Recently, we saw one of the best 6m openings between the United States and Japan that we have encountered here in New England. The image above shows contacts being made via the FT8 Digital Mode between Japan and the United States on June 18th, 2020 in the evening eastern time…
We’ve had a very good 6m Es Season this year. We’ve had almost daily openings to Europe and the Western United States. We recently came very close to a 6m opening from here in New England to Japan! The article shares information on contacts between the United States and Japan that were captured via PSK Reporter. The article above shares more about that opening.
