W2RE - Ray Higgins Ray is installing a Four-Square system using four of the DX Engineering DXE-7580FS-VA-2 Vertical antennas at the Eastport, Maine site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTNc2q92CoU&feature=youtu.be See more information on the antennas at: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-7580fs-va-2
For N7BKS - it is in the video, that line with youtube in it. You deserve a Doh! for not seeing it. Nice video. 73, Larry WB8LBZ El Paso, TX
Well done Ray, 7000 spent outside is better than 7000 spent in the shack. Look forward to working you long path and short path on 80 mtrs ssb. 73 Pete VK6APZ .
Two days is impossible. Takes 30 days to pour and cure the base and the metal pipe where the antenna and winch mounts.. That is the hard part, digging that hole and doing a proper pour. Did one and that was the toughest. The rest of the antenna took under a day.
That station is used by many dozens of DXers BTW. That includes me. Friends, remote stations are here to stay. This is an example of the effort that goes into some of them. I had planned such a superstation for remote, in KY, but scuttled it with the stupid version (later named HR555) of the ARPA (that is presently dead).
yeah the title is a little misleading in two days. As wmay pointed out cement pour and cure takes longer than 2 days. Then in the video he mentions he will have to come back out to put on radials on all of them so he's still not done yet. Nice try. but anyway nice video even though title is wrong.
