JI1FGX/DU9 Mindanao Diary 50MHz Antenna(2009/07/10)
July 1 Photo
7MHz, 18MHz, 21MHz antenna wire type antennas
Three coconut trees are used to attach the wire antennas.
The 50MHz amateur radio antenna I've been working on for about a week has finally taken shape!
With 7MHz, 18MHz, and 21MHz antennas already built previously.We communicate with Japan on a daily basis.The,
Even with this 50MHz antenna, if you are lucky, you can communicate with Japan. Conversely, it is very rare to be able to communicate with Mindanao from Japan as well!
After all, if you are lucky, you can make contact, but there are really only a few people in Mindanao who can get on air on 50 MHz.

We are making it with the hope that we can communicate with many people!
The men were staying and working in a house in the mountain fields, so Gigi, Raisa and Jian helped me to build it in a temporary structure!
The 50MHz antenna is mounted on a 6m long pipe.
I measured the resonance with a measuring device, but it was completely out of adjustment, so I had to take it down and adjust the length of the element.
But that's hard to do without a man's help, so today it remains temporary.
Even if we were to make antennas, it would be a challenge to find the materials here in this country, here in Osamis.
But "Nothing.I looked around and found a glass shop that also handles aluminum pipes for making aluminum sashes and other products.
Incidentally, there was a call sign DU9BK posted on the storefront of this store, but the owner was not there.
Even in the small town of Osamis, there's something to look for.
I was so excited to find a pile of aluminum pipes!
A very happy store that cuts materials to the length you specify and charges no processing fees!
This is the element clamp and element created
It was made by combining aluminum materials like this
I couldn't get the right size U-bolt, so I talked to the store and they machined it right away!
These are two employees of Gigi Company
They do all the detailed work if you give them instructions.
If we don't have it, we will make it. This is the Filipino style.
They process everything with surprising dexterity.
And what we don't sell, we make.
I combined scrap wood that was left over from the construction of the house and had it welded at the house of Mr. Subrabas, who lives across the street.
Subrabas has a drilling machine, welding machine, and various other tools at his house, and he makes everything himself!
Thanks again for the three days of processing!
