JI1FGX/DU9 Mindanao Diary Amateur Radio Antenna(2009/05/29) 
Cavalier Lily Diary
I visited the NTC, an office like the (former) Department of Post and Telecommunications in Japan, so that I could open an amateur radio station in the Philippines.March 2about.
I was issued the call sign JI1FGX/DU9 and a permit to import and possess the radio on the same day.

Soon after that, I tried to send the radio I had left at my parents' house in Japan, but Japanese customs asked me to produce a "certificate that the item is not an embargoed item".
Due to a miscommunication between the shipping company and us, there was a month-long gap, and we finally got them on board on May 15!

The package is expected to arrive in Osamis on or about June 7.
Well, we have many coconut trees planted behind our house!
As an amateur radio operator, a tall tower has always been a dream come true, and being allowed to freely use a nearly 20-meter coconut tree is a blessing in disguise!

This time, we had a nearly 20-meter long shortwave wire antenna attached to a coconut tree about 10 meters high!
If you're not interested in radio, it's probably hard to see where the antenna is in this picture.
Black streaks are antenna lines and yellow lines are ropes
Two Gigi Company employees helped install the antenna.
Lotlot is clinging to the coconut tree in the middle of the tree on the right side.
I had to climb up there several times every time I adjusted the antenna, and I had to ask him to stay there for about 30 minutes.
Here is Junjun climbing another Konatsu tree.
Behind us is our house nearing completion.
The distance between the house and the coconut tree is about 30 meters, so I connected five PVC pipes and put a coaxial cable inside.
Still, ants were parading over the pipes and antenna lines!
I just hope they don't get into any rat or animal mischief.
