80 meter wire top-loaded vertical

Take-off to north

Elecraft K3 277 and K2 5701 March 2008

Licensed in 1971, operating from Penberth Cove using arrays of delta loops on lf, strung between trees in the valley and the hilltop. Moved to Trevescan, Sennen in 1982 at a better but very noisy location and continued to chase the rare ones with various wire antennas.
Moved to present location in 1990 and have been active on and off from this good location but severely restricted antenna-wise.

I have the honour of working for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution as Coxswain of the Sennen Cove Lifeboat
Previous to this I earned my living as an inshore fisherman working from Penberth Cove ... a way of life I still follow during my time off.



80 m Antenna is a 40ft topwire-loaded vertical driving against 200 surface radials. The pole is a fibreglass `Spiderbeam` 60ft model with top 2 and bottom 2 sections removed.
Pole is on a hinged base allowing it to be lowered in the day to reduce visual impact.

160m antenna is a 40ft vertical wire top-loaded with a coil and 4 wire top-hat - with an extensive surface radial system.
40m employs a sloping dipole array.
Wire loops for HF bands.
All hoisted up a 40ft pneumatic mast`as required` like changing sails on a yacht !
Autumn 2009 - trying a K9AY receiving antenna - see it on YouTube here !
Take- off viewed from the sea looking just east of south.
Looking for DX most mornings 160 / 80 / 40m CW.
Especially West Coast and Pacific !
Active to some extent during most major contests
