6m & Down Contest 2020

I had fun in 6m & Down Contest at my radio shack in Kamakura on July 4 and 5. 
I ended up with 61 QSOs. 
I was running about 50W with a homebrew antenna "Stealthy G5RV" for HF bands... hahaha. All set-up was mobile radio equipment. It worked well, but there were not many participants in the contest due to the poor weather condition... however, my G5RV has no influence by the weather condition.



Low points...

G5RV for 6m
GP for 2m
Whip for 70cm and 23cm
Entry category: XS


(注)G5RV、Eスポが出て北海道から九州まで電波は飛びました。



A QSO rate was extremely dull because of the poor weather condition...



(注)5日の午前中に強力なEスポが発生

【御参考】


HF用のG5RVに6mの電波を乗せるとどうなるかという事なんですが・・・
これが結構面白い結果になるんだけれど、アンテナ解析ソフトで解析してみると、意外な結果が得られました。アイソトロピックなアンテナに対して5.5dBのゲインがあるようです(アンテナがマルチに励振されるからね・・・)。そして特筆すべきは打上角のピークが二つあって一つは約15度で、これは周りに障害物が無ければDXに飛びますね・・・そしてもう一つのピークが約63度で国内Eスポ用として最適じゃありませんか(超笑)!!
