Operating location from a top in alps c2600m
Now this was a perfect SOTA location, I stayed on top overnight and used the flag pole to my right to support a 40m/20m dipole, you can see the fixture I connected to, the little ring clamp, as soon as the cable car stopped for the night out came the radio gear, it even snowed! If I had taken 2m yagi would have been amazing location as line of sight was > 80miles, the Eiger and Jungfau (Bernese Oberland group) are in the photo over my right shoulder. Temp dropped to below minus 15 but the morning operating the grey line was fun 100 or so QSO SSB qrp as HB9/M1KTA/P.

Dom, I've just been reading VE3MGY's QRZ.com page. He's certainly been working hard at top band QRP for a long time! Very interesting reading, and a good article at the end of the page as well.

Pete,
My long wire is 140ft (maybe too long), abt 20ft up 120ft long and 20ft up at end. Fed against a lot of radials.
In his article he uses an inverted L 55ft up, 80ft along dropping to 30ft agl fed aganist radials.
Dom
I think he's also got a full size dipole for 160m, set up as inverted V. Did you notice how many thousand of metres of wire he's got up over his plot? Amazing.
Pete
Yes... if you have the time and space then it is amazing what you can do.
I have seen one 160m installation (in UK) where some raised radials are actually galvanized barbed wire not copper.
I was thinking at one point asking the land over to rear of garden if he might let me put up something there, and I'd buy a load of Ali wire.... but he had metal thieves in and they stole a load of stuff so I thought not worth it.
