Interview from dxhunter team
As some of you probably know,
Erik 19AT091 has been building
his own antennas for long time so
he has got a wide experience
playing with them.
We asked him to reply to some
of our question and he kindly said ok.
From dxhunters.com we´d like to
say him thanks very
much for his time.
Hope you like what he told us. 73s

- Age:
34
- Location: Zeeland
(Netherlands)
- When and how did you start on the radio?: I
started on 1990
- Working conditions?: kenwood
ts 850 sat and 9el yagi {24 meter boom - almost 80fts-} plus 7el quad
{boom 11.4 - 37.40 fts} at the moment
- Do you have any project for the future to improve your radio
station?
maybe I will
build a system with a couple of 9 elements (long boom) stacked yagis
- How is your location for dxing? I
think it´s a good location and my yagis help me out a lot
- Do you have any country wich is hard to confirm by your side?
Not sure, maybe
276-266-265-288 div.
- Do you think Internet has been an advance for radio?
I think tools as cluster.dk makes things easier to work new divisions.
Let´s gonna talk about antennas.
Erik, you have had some experiences with home made antennas.
Looking at photo sections on this web we can see one ¨monster yagi¨
(24 meters of boom length)
and another delta loop as well...
I have made more than 20 yagis,
only 1 delta loop with the help of 30AT 252 Pepe and 3
cubical quad's.
Now I have 2 tower's: a self
supported 10 meter (30ft) only and a rotable tower with an elevator
platform
who goes from 1,3 to 23 meters (1ft to 75.45ft) with the rotor down in
the base.
When I make 2 antennas and with this configuration I can easily compare
both antennas at same height of
10 meters (30ft)
At the moment my current system is running by a 9 elements 24 meter boom
(80ft boom length) and a 7el.
cubical quad with ¨only¨ 11,4 (37.40ft) meter of boom
I work or try to improve my antenna system every 4 weeks and I´m
working on a web page with many photos
of the antennas that I hope to upload soon on Internet.

A couple of weeks ago, we
published an interview to Mr. Erik
19AT091 talking about his 9 elements ¨monster yagi¨.
I received today a message from him telling me that cable
wich support the yagi´s elevator on his tower has failed
causing that the big 9 element yagi went down from 23
meters to ground level in just 2 seconds.
As a result of this his antenna has been severe affected as
you can see on the photos that Erik has kindly sent.

From dxhunter´s team we would
like to wish Erik all the best for a
quick recovery of all his great system
and we sincerely hope to hear him on
the band again.
Thanks to God there has been no
people injured.
Good Luck, Erik!
