February 17 The antenna element of the 21MHz antenna was found to have been removed and the antenna was removed for repair.
This is an intact 18 MHz antenna
We are finally going to have the antenna installed after it had been left in the yard while the antenna was repaired!
Climbing a coconut tree It's the topic I get the most questions about when I talk on the radio.
The coconut tree is about 25 meters high and is cut with a machete for climbing. Climb up the slope using the cut as a foothold.
The torso rope was imported from Japan.
Pulleys and ropes are used to pull up the antenna.
From here, I will install the antenna in position by myself by brute force.
The 21MHz antenna that has been installed and above it is the 18MHz antenna. I had been forced to put it on an 18MHz antenna with an internal antenna tuner, but now the signal is stronger!
