QRT/QSY DUE TO REPEAT ABUSE IN VK —- AND MOST OF MY GEAR WAS STOLEN — AUSTRALIA REALLY IS THE LAND OF DESCENDANTS OF CROOKS AND THIEVES — BUT NOT FOR THE COMMON AND WRONG HISTORIC INTERPRETATION. THE REAL REASON IS THIS:
Australia was always and still is to this day the land of the Original People but constantly invaded by greedy selfish people from all over the world, starting with the Anglo Saxons but now also many and any others including Africans, Asians, Americans, Europeans. The one thing they all have in common is wanting a "better life" which inevitably occurs at the expense of others. They are generally selfish and so do not flinch at stealing at every opportunity or abusing others.
Below, I keep up my page here purely for historic reasons. Oh, and of course, my call sign was also "stolen" — legally — as the corrupt and inept system allows for this.
I'm LOU aka LUI and I enjoy CW and 30m QTT (non-5NN TU) PROPER QSO :-)
You can find me most days and times on 101date.3 kHz e.g. on 24th: 10124.3 kHz
You can read more about me and my station at: https://qrz.com/db/VK5EEE
Currently my power is limited to 100W and my antenna is:
- Doublet dipole 2x6m horizontal up 10 9.2m above ground NE-SW plus 2x1.4m vertical down at the ends due to limited space and to ensure it works also on 40m. This radiates well to S E Asia, South Asia and Europe on 30m. It has attenuation toward North America and South Africa. It is fed with 300 Ohm balanced line feeder to a balun and antenna matching unit, and tunes all bands from 7-29MHz.
Above is a photo of my doublet 2x(6m+1.4m) which is 10m above ground level and radiates broadside to Europe, S E Asia, India, New Zealand and Central America. It works OK to Japan, not so well to North America and South Africa which are off the ends.
Below is the azimuth radiation plot at 15 (black), 30 (blue), 45 (red) degrees elevation:
Below is the elevation plot of the doublet direction Europe (black), Japan (blue) and North America (green):
Naturally as at 10m this is less than half wavelength high, this would have much better low angle radiation if it were 15m or higher. But this is not possible due to 10m height restriction.
With thanks to AA7FV OM Darrel for the kind assistance in providing the plots for my antenna.
