I have been a ham for over 60 years, but have not been active for the last 40 years, mostly due to my location. This is a short video about getting back on 2 meters. Hy-Gain VB-23FM, Yaesu FT-2980, Nissei 1230M
I am also using reflections to work a few repeaters in my area. Im surrounded by a few buildings that are higher than my balcony. So finding the perfect angle can be challenging sometims. But still its fun and i enjoy it :) Good work 73
I feel a little stupid that I didn't think about bouncing off that cliff earlier, but I didn't have any tranceivers except my 40 year old handhelds, and didn't even think about a yagi. I am having a wonderful time getting in contact with the local hams again! I also get another repeater off the same cliff.
Hi Magnus! I don't really know very much, but I sure get a kick out of finding unanticipated solutions. If you haven't seen it, I made a video about my HF setup also. I am now plotting about how to sneak a longwire down into the woods. Think I will make a heaving line like I used on ships.
