A new antenna is under construction. An Optibeam OB5-20 will be erected this summer. The antenna assembly work was started today.
The Optibeam OB5-20 is a 5 element OWA design. The boom length is 15 meter and the antenna has a gain of 8.5 dBd. The antenna will be put up on an 18 meter tilt-up/crank-up tower provided by Ronny/LA3ZPA. We are anxious if the beam will withstand our severe wind conditions. Comments (1)

The tower and antenna were installed during the weekend 5th and 6th September by LA3BO LA3ZPA LA5KO LA8DW and LB1G. It works :-)
