i'm a long-time VHF / UHF / microwave operator in the US (Massachusetts), and this is MIND-BLOWING 🤓, ESPECIALLY for a portable setup! (Puts my array to shame!). Some impressive engineering there! 😎 Tom WA1LBK
It was a test of the antenna system. It will be improved for the IARU Region 1 (europe/africa) vhf september contest 2017. Of course, we want to win in september 2017 ...
Was für eine Funkantenne, wow, sowas habe ich bisher noch nicht gesehen. Sowas auf der Zugspitze oder vergleichbaren Erhebungen. Das wäre doch ein Traum, oder? Liebe Grüße und bitte ladet mehr solcher Videos hoch, danke! 73,55 Jan
Bonjour. Ok pour le groupement de 4 long Yagi, mais qu'en est il des autres groupements d'antennes plus bas ? Il y une épaisse forêt à traverser, cela occasionne tout de même des pertes non négligeables. J'aurais choisi un autre site plus dégagé avec moins d'antennes. Ceci dit, impressionnante débauche de moyens ! Cela me rappelle (en bien plus petit) le radio-club de Beaune, F5KCR (dept.21) qui émettait en JN26IX, à moins de 1 km de sa balise (F1ZAW, ex F1XAW 144.468) qui a perdu son site exceptionnel et qui émet désormais depuis le dept. 25 à Vercel, en JN37EE. Reports de la balise bienvenus ! Pour encourager Jean-Michel, à continuer à la bichonner ! P.S. le R.C. de Beaune a été dissous en l'an 2000.
Great setup! I wonder at what hight are the lowest antennas(4x6el.) and how high are 4x17? Congratulations from 9A5KM (9A1CRS contest team), always nice working DR9A (830 km) Best 73!
Mladen Krajnović I don't know. The max heigth of the lattice mast is 40m. The top may be 48m ... This video doesn' show the conplete height - see dr9a.de for more pictures.
are the trees a big attenuation for the lower yagis? do you have both a switch to listen on all the yagis or do you both listen on 4 yagi groups + high gain stack? great setup! so much work :-) cu in next contest on5gs
Where you have 4 Yagis on each level pointing in different directions, is each level linked with phasing harnesses or something to provide an omni directional effect?
Cool video for sure but when I saw 14mhz it got a bit confusing??? That's not VHF. I'm not sure what's going on here - must be a general contest or something. - N9LT.
Every or nearly every big 144mhz amateur radio station in europe uses a short wave tranveicer (20m band and sometimes 10m band) combined with a tranverter (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverter).
That's way past the point of being a fun hobby.................. TO MUCH for a contest where nothing is won but bragging rights and a piece of paper...
@@keithmarkcam6216 It was M2. This antenna was never really effective for contest, too narrow beamwidth. We have removed it and just use the 8 x 4x6 Ele now. Won IARU-R1 VHF 2023 again with 1200 QSOs and 447 km average, 1347 km ODX (tropoducting).
The outside video footage is from setup, not operation - the mast is then elevated by 20 m. The site is 1000 m asl. You got the locator, shouldn't be too difficult to research...
Gut,da weiss ich wieder warum ich seit den 90ern keinen UKW Contest mehr mache.Sorry,aber wenn es nurnoch um den maximalen finanziellen Aufwand geht?Dann lieber nicht mehr,da gewinnt immer der am meisten Geld hat..Und dann wundert ihr euch das kaum noch jemand euch Punkte gibt,als ueberhaupt noch beim UKW Contest mitmacht?Wir moechten kein Stimm oder "Punktevieh" fuer Megateams mit Megageld sein!Da muesst ihr euch dann mal schoen selber funken.Und genau so sieht das ja mittlerweile aus...
Ok, jedoch steckt der finanzielle Aufwand zum größten Teil in der schon ziemlich alten fahrbaren Arbeitsmaschine (LKW). HU, Wartung, Reifen usw, Benzin - ein so großer Mast wird an den allerwenigsten Standorten benötigt. Der Rest ist sehr überschaubar und so viel wie möglich ist Eigenbau.

As a ham operator, I don't even know what I'm looking at. That is some impressive looking business you have going on there.
What an incredible project -impressive production skills too. 73 from KI6HHJ
One word - WOW, maybe a few more words, very impressed with the setup, going everywhere.
wow, great!! It was a pleasure to have contact with you yesterday.... nearly 500kms op 2m.... my farest VHF contact ever!!! 73 de ON3SA
see you on the next edition of..Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Oh wow what an impressive antenna setup thats what I call a mast. Imagine having that in your garden, I wonder what the neighbours would think 🤔?
Mega cooler Aufbau! Wirklich beeindruckend 😁
Simply amazing. What else can one say. Also the video itself is well done. Big CONGRATS.
73, Petr, OK1FIG
Good Afternoon from the UK 🇬🇧
It's just an incredible setup!!!
Keep going ! I really like y’all’s style , anything worth doing is worth doing to this level PWNAGE!
That's insane. Very cool. 73s
I feel like 2 rotors, and 2 beams with a nice horizontal loop at the top, could have saved a few grand here.
Good stuff. I wonder if you might need a few more antennas? I think I saw a gap on the mast. Nice Drone flying!
It was a test of the antenna system. It will be improved for the IARU Region 1 (europe/africa) vhf september contest 2017. Of course, we want to win in september 2017 ...
This is a nice and good station !!! HA8FW 73/DX
Congrats ! Amateur radio to the next level :)
Who told amateur radio's dying? :)
outstanding system and video
Wow that’s a lot of antennas
Just plain Awesome ! 73
Muito bom. Parabéns. Ainda vou ter um veículo assim. 73 de PY2NF.
super video.........
Good equipment, good team, lot of DX
Wahnsinn! Die Antennen gefallen mir :-) 73, DL8LAQ

Small countries must be jealous of that setup :)
no not jealous, admire it.

This is just fantastic. I am going to get back on 144MHz perhaps next year. Have 4 longyagis in the basement. Hope cu from JP33vj. 73 de LA7DFA.
Let's work for a sked during next IARU R1 in September 2018! 73 de HB9DUR @DR9A
Awesome setup, guys. Thanks for sharing. Btw - what do you control with the small box? VFO? RIT? Rotor? Antenna? 73 de Magne / LA1BFA (LA1K / LA8G)
The box in the middle between the antenna groups? Includes the relais for RX/TX switch and antenna selection.
Where you have 4 Yagis on each level pointing in different directions, is each level linked with phasing harnesses or something to provide an omni directional effect?
the antennas are phased and it is a specific yagi design for this setup. otherwise the system will not work.
@@dl5nah Incredibly impressive! Thank you 😊
Klasse Video!
How long time you need for building the station from scratch on the hill please? :)
just a dream for me . i like vhf and uhf and leave in estate in a little town .... i will be happy with only the rotative beam no luck ...F5iqx
Very impressive and professional! 73 Bernd DF2ZC
Professional or Amateur radio??
wow, you guys are awesome!!! 73
SUPER NICE GOOD HAPPYS
Which kind of rules you set for operators to go at the moment please? it looks like they are both in RUN mode...:)
most of the time: one operator uses only the west antennas, the other operator the east antennas. The fastest operator wins (can transmit).
Cool video for sure but when I saw 14mhz it got a bit confusing??? That's not VHF. I'm not sure what's going on here - must be a general contest or something. - N9LT.
Every or nearly every big 144mhz amateur radio station in europe uses a short wave tranveicer (20m band and sometimes 10m band) combined with a tranverter (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverter).
@@dl5nah ahh, gotcha. I didn't think about that.
@@dl5nah Interesting, when I had a xverter it didn't work as well as my dedicated VHF rig. They have it down to a science
and operators in the show? :)
That's way past the point of being a fun hobby.................. TO MUCH for a contest where nothing is won but bragging rights and a piece of paper...
Hammer 🔨🔨🔨🔨
Excelente
Ist das der Hohlohturm bei Gernsbach?
ja
what is the model long antenna? 4 yagis long.....17b2? meters boom? thanks
not shure - we do not use these antennas any more. It's too much work for a nearly no additional contest points.
@@dl5nah how much db gain that 17b2 antenna? How far you contact using that antenna?
@@keithmarkcam6216 It was M2. This antenna was never really effective for contest, too narrow beamwidth. We have removed it and just use the 8 x 4x6 Ele now. Won IARU-R1 VHF 2023 again with 1200 QSOs and 447 km average, 1347 km ODX (tropoducting).
8 x 24 total elements? All horizontal polarity? I would like to see a picture of that 2 meter setup. Thanks
And.they still didnt.contact jesus
Phil Shnieder and never will 😅
We need 3 days, includong transportation, until it is fully operational.
Must be nice!
Why the location with so many trees around? Is this a hill top, what’s the altitude?
The outside video footage is from setup, not operation - the mast is then elevated by 20 m. The site is 1000 m asl. You got the locator, shouldn't be too difficult to research...
And? Did you contact anybody?
Icom IC 735 ✌🏻✌🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Those antennas need to be higher above those trees K2LNS
You don't see the final height in this video :-(
The maximum height of the lattice tower is about 40m and all antennas are much higher than the trees.
Crazy
How is it a VHF contest when the radio is on 20 meters thats HF
Transverter is the solution:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverter
It's the IF frequency for the transverter operating on the VHF band
why is there so many Yagi's pointing in so many directions?
Someone needs to make the Omni Yagi
WAIT “THE MEGAYAGI”
Whatever the most you can get in a circle without affecting the radiation of the others is. Mounted on a big circle thing
My best guess is is to direction find the contact and then the top masive yagi rotates to beam in the correct direciton.
was war eure maximale distanz ? Jedenfalls schwer beeindruckt ...
1056km

Gut,da weiss ich wieder warum ich seit den 90ern keinen UKW Contest mehr mache.Sorry,aber wenn es nurnoch um den maximalen finanziellen Aufwand geht?Dann lieber nicht mehr,da gewinnt immer der am meisten Geld hat..Und dann wundert ihr euch das kaum noch jemand euch Punkte gibt,als ueberhaupt noch beim UKW Contest mitmacht?Wir moechten kein Stimm oder "Punktevieh" fuer Megateams mit Megageld sein!Da muesst ihr euch dann mal schoen selber funken.Und genau so sieht das ja mittlerweile aus...
Ok, jedoch steckt der finanzielle Aufwand zum größten Teil in der schon ziemlich alten fahrbaren Arbeitsmaschine (LKW). HU, Wartung, Reifen usw, Benzin - ein so großer Mast wird an den allerwenigsten Standorten benötigt. Der Rest ist sehr überschaubar und so viel wie möglich ist Eigenbau.
