ANTENNAS

The mast is a 30ft Tennamast with a 9 element Tonna for 2m SSB and a Cushcraft MA5B for 20, 17, 15, 12 and 10m (also works on 6m with SWR just under 3:1 but comes down with internal tuner). For the lower bands I use a Moonraker trapped dipole for 160, 80 and 40m, all connected to a Kenwood TS2000. I also use a ground mounted Sandpiper V5+3 loaded vertical for 80 - 10m, mostly on the Yaesu FT857D on PSK31, but is used as the main antenna when the wind blows and the mast gets dropped horizontal.

From the left is a Diamond V2000 for 6m, 2m & 70cm connected to my Kenwood TS2000 or the Yaesu FT857 and a Maas 2m, 70cm connected to my Yaesu FT8900.  Being located on the SW coast of Scotland allows me to access quite a few 2m & 70cm repeaters inc: GB3DG, GB3EV, GB3AS, GB3NI, GB3VE, & GB3CA.
