On January 17, 2016, lightning struck an antenna, damaging all of our radios and home appliances. My main FTDX3000 broke, so in March 2018 I bought a new FTDX3000 from Tomei Electronics and had them send it to me.
However, the 20mH coconut tree that was used as a tower It was cut down because it was old and in danger of falling over.
Before they were cut down, the three coconut trees had four full-sized Yagi antennas. Each band was attached with a fixed beam.
It's only in the Philippines that you can be such a happy free tower owner. A homemade 14MHz 3-element Yagi antenna installed for Europe. It flew well.
I attached a 7MHz dipole antenna to the remaining 20m pipe tower. Because there is a tower at the edge of the site, an inverted V is not possible, so a diagonal dipole is used.
The power supply is a cutting board purchased from a general store. The handle of the cutting board fits perfectly into the coaxial holder. I couldn't find a balun for sale, so I followed the advice of JQ2GYU's Sakurai-san and installed three snap cores.
You can find all the electrical wires and parts at UNITRUS in the town of Ozamiz.
To adjust the antenna, pulleys were attached to both ends of the element so that it could be raised and lowered. This is also advice from JQ2GYU Sakurai, a DXer who owns two crank-up towers. He also uses pulleys to adjust the low band dipole.
The cutting board of the power supply part is processed so that no force is applied to the shaft connector. It also serves as an element holder instead of a corrugated insulator.
I adjusted the element length using the NanoVNA-H4, which I bought online in the Philippines for 4,200 pesos (about 11,500 yen). The lowest SWR was 7.090MHz for 7MHz.
However, 21MHz has the lowest SWR outside the band of 22.140MHz. When I was searching for information on the Internet, I found something similar on YouTube's "Momo Channel!" https://youtu.be/LbjRYRG9x9I?t=487
I will write about how to connect a 21MHz antenna to a 7MHz antenna in my diary on May 3rd.
