25.5.2009 FM season has started



Jyväskylä Körner 15.9 antenna.

Jyväskylä Yagi has best direction towards SE, because hill/mountain Laajavuori is blocking west.

I decided to give a try for FM DXing. So I ordered the above antenna from Sweden. Körner antenna has very solid build and was quite selfexplanatory to build up. System includes also Yaesu G-250 antenna rotor, but currently no preamp since Jyväskylä has quite many FM trasmitters.

FM receiver system includes now Sony XDR-F1HD and Icom IC8500. Sony has better sound quality than Icom, but it lacks scanning and OIRT band. Also Sony is quite a good heater, if there is a need for warming.


Some very first tropo catchs, which proved to be the usual suspects here:
