Hi to all.My name is Leon ,I was born on 5th August 1970 (so you can check my age).I was born and live in the island of
Trinidad .I started this website in late 2004 and I will be continuously adding to this site as I go along in in Ham radio.I
started in cb radio at the age of 17.Two years after I was introduced to Ham but still loved dxing on 11 meters.I love the
world of Ham radio,I have been a licensed Ham since 1996.I started building yagis back in my days of CB radio in order to
save money .I tried many different designs from operators that I talked to. After getting into Ham radio and got into computers
and antenna software ,I started designing and building antennas for HF then evetually onto 6m,2m,70cm. I am always reading
up and researching different types of antennas from books I have and especially from the internet......The key to a great
station is your antenna system.
I am currently active on 80m with an inverted V...On 40m with a trapped rotatable dipole...20m to 10m with a homebuilt
version of the Cushcraft X7...6m with a homebuilt 5 element 24ft long yagi...2m with an 8ele Quagi..I hope to stack two of
these.I work satellite with a Gulf Alpha vhf and uhf antennas, BUT I did some modification to the vhf antenna. Currently working
on getting started on MeteorScatter and EME using the WSJT software and hopefully try to get a properly working linear loaded
inverted V for 160m..(just a few bugs to work out)
I am also into Emergency Communications...Check out what our Emcomms group has been up to !! Click on this to go to my next
site !!
I hope this website would provide some with info on building or just ideas on antennas or just email me if you are interested
in information on how I built my antennas. I have a lot of ideas and welcome ideas from others, also any help would be appreciated
since I am tring to develop a station where any Hams coming to Trinidad can visit and use the equipment on hopefully all bands.
It takes a lot of time and money but homebrewing saves a bundle.
