Antennas
I’m guessing that will be the easiest part of the system.
However it has to be build and dismantling very easily in the shortest possible time .
No use of fixed mountings.( I can only use it in wintertime when my neighbor don’t use his fields.)
Have to make sure it can withstand some windy condition.
Well I still got the time to look into my brain and see what the best system will be.

Aluminum are ordered 18pcs of 4meters long.
9Pcs of 22mm in diameter and 9pcs 19mm in diameter.
Total cost for the antennas are 120€
After some delay due to problems with the 40m 4sq (which has not really been resolved yet) I ordered the necessary tubes.
18x 4m of which 9 are a bit thicker than the others so that they can slide together.
In the meantime I have installed a new staircase and the old steps can now serve as an insulator between the antenna and the base :)
Drilled some holes and numbered the plates, so I can also number the antennas that correspond to the correct holes

The finished feet, I won't win a beauty contest with it but as long as it works it will be good enough.
We are ready, the finished antennas. They are 6,5m long.
It took me more time than I thought because there are 9 that you have to make and that takes time.
I hope that the bottom tube that needs to be in the ground is enough to keep everything up for a winter.
I am also using the bottom tube as the grounding of the system

Now that all the antennas are there, each antenna is measured separately without the preamp connected.
The reason why I did this is to see if the measurements of the antennas are the same.
There is a difference here and there, but I think it is all within the spec's
