TX-500 with vertical EFHW to Belize on 12m
Channel: HB9EAJ Portable Radio
Date: 29/10/2021

This transatlantic contact with V31XX from Belize (about 9000km distance) was recorded on a nearby SOTA summit https://sotl.as/summits/HB/BL-014 (Farnsberg).

On 28th of October 2021, the conditions, especially on the 17-, 15- and 12m band for DX were very good. I did several DX contacts with my 7-band Standard EFHW.
But for this contact, I tried an improvised about 5.5m long vertical EFHW antenna, hanging form my 6m tall telescopic glass fiber mast. The contact was made on the 12m-band with V31XX.
