Antennas
Due to some un-expected issue, the new installed Hexbeam was taken down. I can only put up one single 12M three element yagi for the time being. For 10/15/20M, using the Fritzel Vertical and dipole for 17M. I will plan for the antennas setup again, it is difficult due to limited space.

Re-arrangement of antennas
Due to some un-expected reason, I need to dismantle all my antennas last week. At the moment, only maintain one vertical antenna for 10/15/20M. for the time being, some re-arrangement work is underway including a winch-up pole for the new five band antenna. I hope all the work can complete during Christmas holidays, if not , then early next year.
In future, my signal may not be as good as before, due to the down scale of antenna system.

L-Match Antenna Tuner
I always needed a "HEAVY DUTY" antenna tuner that could take about 2KW to match with my Heathkit SB-220. I have the Ten-Tec 238B which purchased many years ago, working fine without any problem. However, like to have another one connect to my second amplifier.
Since I have the 238B (L-Match) and thinking to use other tuning method. Finally I selected the modified "L-Match" network again for the reason that it has only two adjustable parts, one inductor and one capacitor, it make the tuning more easier.
The tuning capacitor is a Jennings 500pf vacuum capacitor and the roller induction is from Jonhson 229 series (10uH), it is more than enough because I do not operate low band much.
The case is from China, very nice and heavy duty, most important is very cheap. (around US$20 including shipping) and size is 110mm*275mm*250mm (H*W*L).
With some effort over the weekend, it is almost complete except for some hardware, like the tuning knob and extender rod for the antenna switch.
Tuning is very easy and all my antennas from 10M-40M.
