DIAMOND F23 H MONO BAND BASE STATION ANTENNA


We are all still enjoying the holidays and today timing worked out well and I borrowed a 3 section ladder and managed to swap over my old tri band vertical for a big high gain mono band for 145 Mhz. I was very lucky back in March on my birthday to receive the new mono band vertical from a very good friend. This of course was my old buddy Phil M1PAC whom I have known since the beginning of my ham radio activity when I was M3HTS. THANKS Phil!
 The new Diamond F23 H looks good at it's new QTH.

The specs.
I worked my first station using the new antenna and YAESU FT-100 just now. Yes of course it had to be my good friend M1PAC Phil who was 5/7.

I will be playing around with the new F23 H to see how well it performs and also some HF. See you soon.  73
