OB11 -5 - Optibeam

Jan 2005, after a look at my quad, I found some problem, ( it was on the tower from 1992) and  needed a hard work to make a restyling, so I begane to change 'them', I was much doubtful about  the model of antenna to  choose, therefore after a long search I have found obtibeam web page, I liked it immediatly, so I found several users comments on the web, all said the OB were great antennas, and so finally I ordered  the new antenna: the OB11-5

Il primo lavoro fu un nuovo traliccio, ma con l' aiuto di DJX e FDY ed alcuni apporti esterni il traliccio, 12 metri della Prosistel, fu installato I2DJX (left) and me

DJX e FDY grande aiuto!

I spended a lot of day in mounting, but at the last I had a graeat result (not only photografic!!)

Ho perso parecchio tempo nel montaggio di tutto il sistema ed alla fine un grande risultato (non solo fotograficao)

I and my tower...

On the top of OB11-5 I put a 4 element yagi (by i2adn), but after about one year I decided to take apart it and I found that the rendering of the antenna is improved on warc band, but now I am searching on my roof a space to install a new tower or something like it to put the antenna for magic band, and during the the first month of 2007 I hope to be able to do it!

Sopra alla OB11-5 inizialmente avevo monatato una 4 elementi per i 50MHz by I2ADN ma dopo circa un anno decisi di spostarla migliorando il rendimanto della mia OB soprattutto sulle bande WARC

but I cannot forget my first antenna...

non posso certo dimenticare la mia vecchia antenna
