I was first licensed as KN4PQL in 1958.
In 1996 Lynn
& I retired and moved from Apex, NC to a 75 acre (30 hectare) QTH
located at Blounts Creek NC, near the juncture of the lower Pamlico
river and Pamlico Sound.
GPS= N35 22.010 W76 55.050.
Since then I
have been very QRL setting up a station and antennas.
Here is a look toward Europe from the 20M tower.
This is the view to the
Northwest off the 20m tower (very flat topography)
Looking to the Southwest
the vista is similar (that is a lot of driveway to care for !)
A Northeast view, looking back at the buildings, is here.
The present
Blounts Creek NC station consists of two Elecraft K3's (SO2R) driving
either a LK500ZC, Alpha 99, Alpha 8100, or Alpha 89 amplifier
(presently set to Alpha 99 & 8100).
I use a 5L 10m yagi, on a 90' AB105 10m tower that also supports a three element 40M quad fixed on W. coast , a 130' 20m AB105 low band tower that supports a M2 4L 20 @ 130',
160M
folded monopole, 80M 4 square ,
and a 40m tower that is 130' high and supports a XM240 yagi.
A 220' philystran catenary between the 130' towers supports a 6el 40M quad fixed on Europe, designed using 4NEC2.
Also a fourth 35M Rohn 55 15M tower supports a M2 15M-4. A picture of a double PVRC mount on the tower is located here.
