DJ5MN and family at KM36vc....

Last afternoon Bernie and his family visit us at alternative QTH (KM36vc)

Lot of "Shouma"and beers and good company. My good friend Lakis (SV5KKU) bring Bernie and his girls to the village and we have a nice afternoon. 

Late the night we visit the "WaterMelon festival" about 7 Km away to the next village.

Finally Internet.....(!)

After long time finally this weekend we make the wi-fi internet connection at my 2nd QTH (Istrios village) at South Rhodes...Unfortunately the Greek  Telephony Organization says that is unable to give us ADSL connection due to old wireless telephone linking that not allow the data passing over it. So we decide to move our line number to nearest village and get the ADSL there (limited to 2 MBps) and then to make a backbone linking at 5 GHZ to connect both places.  Then a small vertical at the highest point of the village on 2,4 GHZ is giving 90% coverage ...!!! The project was designed by me and two good HAM friends (SV5KJO and SV5KKU)  help to make it  true....Here is the fotos...

Now (finally) Internet is working on my 2nd QTH and will be easiest to have DX cluster connection and ....a full remote station.

That's will be my next project....

 

NEW preamplifiers BOX setup...

 My new premplifier box is under construction after aluminum die-cast box arriving. (TNX SV5KKU).

Inside are the two preampilfiers and two coaxial relays CX-600N by TOHTSU.

The VHF preamplifier is homemade by PA2CHR and gives 18db  with 0,35 Noise Figure.

The black one from ARR is the UHF  with 15 db and 0,6 NF   (modified).
