I did some antenna work this and last weekend, along with SDR testing. Last weekend I rolled out the 50-degrees beverage antenna in sunshine and 20 Celsius. Not quite high today, but 15 Celsius is still warm for 1st September. Cloudy and a little breezy. Having spotted no reindeer, I elevated the 50-degrees beverage to an average of 130 cm. I also rolled out the 310 degrees beverage, which points roughly towards Chicago. It has an average height of around 200 cm.

What remains to do is to deploy the staggered 340-degrees beverage, and to ground and elevate the 80-degrees beverage.
Perseus22 testing continues. Phasing the 50 and 80 beverage wasn't a good idea, they were too close in performance. I have now replaced the 80 with the newly erected 310 for a better difference in directivity. And finally, one for the food lovers:

| Junipers! Not often ripe at this latitude. Great for flavouring reindeer and lamb meat |
