Upgrade in performance with the 80 & 160m vertical

Update on the 80 & 160m combo vertical

Marc and Karel did some interesting tests with their combo vertical. The 80m part performed well in combination with the 160m vertical on one fiber pole. Next time the 160m portion will be handled. Marc uses a hairpin match to get the impedance right

Testing Clublog with DXlog and MSHV

Link test Clublog - DXlog - MSHV

Today Marc, ON6CC did some tests with Clublog "live" in combination with DXlog and MSHV. All QSO's were imported automatically into DXlog and transferred to Clublog live. We did the test with the special event stations call (OP37EUDXF).... Hopefully we have a good WIFI link or 4G link for live internet in Grenada so you can see our live logupdates....
