W1/Jonesport
In the month of October the Jonesport location went through significant upgrades, including five new towers ranging from 140-180’ tall with very large arrays.
To start, we have added two of the five towers and one of the four stations to the RHR Network. It’s a Flex 6500 with Expert 1.3K amp. The first station has access to a 180’ Rohn 55 rotating tower with GXP stacks on 10/15/20 @ 160/125/90/55 and 4EL 40M @ 175’. We also have WARC and 6M on a separate 140’ tower with 3EL on 12/17 and 2EL 30M @ 140’ and 7EL 6M @ 150’ all GXP antennas.
Also installed is a death-ray on 80m - it’s a 5 element 80m wire beam at 140’, and is cut for SSB and facing NE. The pileups created on this 80m wire beam are like no other. If you call CQ on this array in the 80m DX window around 2100Z, the pileup is insane. Additional antennas and bands will be implemented in coming weeks and months.
To learn more about this station we have created a photo album from start to current status:
