My antenna is a 4 x
29el. DJ9BV array. All elements are made of 4 mm aluminium and they are
mounted insulated through the boom. Each antenna is 8.5 wavelengths long
(6 m). The stacking distance is 1.7 m. The H-frame is also made of aluminium
and the whole system is lightweighted and can be carried by one man. The
mast is telescopic and can be raised 3 additional meters for operation.
