JI1FGX/DU9 Mindanao Diary Amateur Radio Antenna(2009/05/29) 
Cavalier Lily Diary
I visited the NTC, an office similar to the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Japan, to set up an amateur radio station in the Philippines.March 2It is about
I was issued the call sign JI1FGX/DU9 and a radio import and possession permit on the same day.

Soon after, I tried to send the radio I had left at my parents' house in Japan, but Japanese customs asked me to submit a "certificate that it is not a prohibited item."
Due to a miscommunication between us and the shipping company, there was a gap of one month, and we were finally able to board the ship on May 15th.

The package is expected to arrive at Ozamiz around June 7th.
There are a lot of coconut trees behind our house.
As an amateur radio operator, I have always admired tall towers, and being able to freely use the nearly 20m tall coconut tree is a blessing.

This time, I installed a shortwave wire antenna, about 20m long, at a height of about 10m on a coconut tree.
For those who are not interested in radio, it may be difficult to see where the antennas are in this photo.
The black stripes are antenna wires and the yellow stripes are ropes.
Two employees from Gigi Company helped me install the antenna.
Lotlot is clinging to the coconut tree on the right.
We were very grateful for their help, as they climbed up the tower many times to adjust the antenna and stayed there for about 30 minutes.
This is Junjun climbing another Kokonatsu tree.
In the background you can see our nearly completed home.
The distance between the house and the coconut tree is about 30m, so I connected five PVC pipes and put a coaxial cable inside them.
Even so, ants were lining up on the pipes and antenna wires.
I just hope it doesn't get in the way of mice or other animals.
