HF Antennas
SKØUX | SJØX aim is to be a serious contest station on HF frequencies, therefor our goal is to have several antennas/arrays for each of the HF bands. Currently our setup of antennas for HF are the following below. To be able to create a “competent” contesting station some antennas and towers are owned by the club and others by the individual members who are active.
The antennas are situated at several different towers:
160m
– Dipole
80m
– 3 element rotary yagi
– Sloper
40m
– 2 element full size rotary quad
30m
-Halfsquare array
20m
– 6 element rotary quad
– 5 element yagi pointed at JA
-4 element yagi pointed at EU
17m
– 5 element rotary yagi
15m
– LPDA
– 4 element yagi pointed at EU
12m
– 5 element rotary yagi
10m
– 8 element rotary quad
-4 element yagi pointed at EU

We have plans to take down an existing tower during 2016 and replace it with a new 40meter tall rotary tower which will hold a 7o7 stack for 15m, 8o8o8o8o8 stack for 6m, 2 or 3 el yagi for 40m, some WARC band antennas and also a bug array for 2 and 70cm. To be continued..

Station automation is done by openASC system in place at the station making it possible to run HF stations simultaneously on 4 bands from the hilltop. Any of the stations can get any of the antennas.
