Amateur radio OH6CS

Licenced since 1980 with main interest in HF-contesting.
I work contests mostly from OH6AC, Lapua Radio Club. In recent years I 
have also made several contest peditions to Gáldar, Gran Canaria as EA8/OH6CS 
Occasionally, I also like to ragchew on 20m, check out propagation on 6 m 
and tune around shortwave BC-bands.

OI2HQ/OH2HQ SRAL HQ IARU HF World 
Championship 15m stations have been located 
at OH6AC several times.

 

  OH6AC multi-direction antenna system with 3
monoband yagis in a fixed tower, upper  antenna rotatable.
14 MHz
4-el. rotatable yagi @39m (Rotated by Yaesu G-2800DXC)
4-el. yagi fixed to NW @24 m,  3-el. yagi fixed to south  @16 m

For 21 MHz there´s  a similar 3-antenna system 
with 4-el. yagis in another tower.

The upper 2 yagis can be used as a phased stacked array 
into NW-direction (North America). 

The antennas are phased and switched with WX0B StackMatch.

I have operated several single band
contests from Mauri´s OH2BYS/EA8CMX QTH
in Faro de Sardina, Gáldar, GC.


ARRL International 2006 DX Contest 21 MHz CW 
operation from Pekka´s, EA8AH QTH in Montaña de Guia.
(Santa Maria de Guia, GC) As you can see, the 15 m 
NA-beam really stands above the clouds.

 

ES8/OH6CS  
 Summer holiday radio operation from the 
Baltic Coast in Treimani, southwestern Estonia.
Traveller´s station consists of rugged Icom IC-7200 + 14 MHz 
seaside vertical made of telescoping fishing rod and copper wire. 



Lightweight, instant portable vertical antenna works very well from the seaside.


I made few QSOs from GB2SM in 1991 
(Science Museum in London)

 


Strong F2 propagation on 50 MHz brought some juicy 
DX in the logbook in November 2001


QSO with WB3JJK 0,1 W CW-station in March 1992
