<P> <FONT
face=Arial color=#000080 size=3>Because of the value of Morse Code
communications in the Amateur Service is primarily recreational in nature and
manual telegraphy proficiency should no longer be a compulsory licensing
requirement for any class of Amateur Radio license. So, our license will be open
for work at HF band later I think. It is the time we prepare a good HF antenna
in our station. This is a HF antenna and have a 7 meters long wire as a radiator
which is wrap on a 5 meters fishing rod. 2 wires with 3 meters and 7 meters long
forms a grounding. I also connect the antenna ground to the window frame and air
conditioner case to increase the possible area of the grounding.<STRONG> It will
use together with the antenna tuner for operation on each HF bands from 1.8MHz
to 29MHz</STRONG>. So the better earth can help for effective matching. A common
mode choke is also be used and series at the coaxial cable for prevent the
in-phase noise and produce a good weak signal reception.</FONT></P>

size=4>long wire antenna form with a fishing rod</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial
color=#000080 size=4>. I use it to work the 20m, 17m & 15m bands DX. The
signal will have a large improve during comparing with the Diamond HV-7. But it
has a disadvantage for reinstall it again during use. Also, it most be use with
my antenna tuner MFJ-989 to correct the impedance matching. Although it will
take so much trouble, sometimes it give me a lot of fun. <STRONG>I have an
experience to work K3ZO in USA on 20m band by my IC-756 100W bear foot with this
partner. The signal report is 57</STRONG>.</FONT></DIV>
