More holiday #sota #SummitsOnTheAir fun. This time La Viorna EA1/CT-063 in the #picosdeeuropa, straight from La Viorna campsite. Lovely weather, beautiful views and plenty of room at the top. 20M #morsecode got me quite a few contacts, including Carlos @IU1KGS . Two more on 10M, when I tried 40M didn’t even get spotted by the #reversebeaconnetwork ? First time out with #K6ARK EFRW which I built to band hop with #elecraftkx2, seemed to do well in poor propagation conditions.

Trying to make a linked EFHW using #K6ARK technique

Cut a length to 10m, tune it, add the next length to 12 and it shifts resonance down. Shorten the side connected to the unun to tune back to 10. Connect in link, tune to 12m

Add the next length to 15m, double check the 12m and its also shifted

Id guess the antenna is coupling a bit and lengthening ?

I am going to pair it with a #K6ARK #efhw kit https://k6ark.com/kitsandparts/, and then make the EFHW based on his micro-traps to do 40/30/20 in that range in particular.
