5N - NIGERIA
Bodo,5N0OCH, writes: "I uploaded a short video clip with impressions of
my 5N activites to YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sztmmg7FJLs)
We will have finished the works at the new antenna for Voice of Nigeria
in about three weeks. This antenna of the type HP-RCA 4/4/h is the
biggest HF antenna in the world and is already in operation at several
radio stations. It has 32 stacked dipoles, 16 each for 6-15 MHz and for
15-26 MHz. The antenna has a gain of about 18-24 dBi and I will be able
to use it for amateur radio for a few days. Many are interested in
working 5N on 160m but unfortunately this antenna does not cover this
band. However I plan to put up a 40m long vertical connected to the
complete ground network of the radio station by the end of September.
More plans include a beverage to Europe. Unfortunately I cannot promise
to realize all my plans because priority lies on my work. Be sure that
I will do my best to activate the lowbands. Many greetings from Abuja!
Vy 73 de Bodo,5N0OCH".
