[ADXA] LY5A

[Richard Harris]

During my trip to the Baltic states, I had the nice opportunity to meet our
fellow county hunter, Jonas, LY5A, at his home near Siauliai, Lithuania. If
you wondered why you can hear him, I think the following information and
photos of his antennas will explain why!

20 meters: 6 elements at 42 meters

17 meters: 3 elements at 12 meters

15 meters: 6 elements at 35 meters

12 meters: 4 elements at 12 meters

10 meters: 6 elements at 33 meters

But what really impressed me was two four-legged towers - each 45 meters
high weighing 10 tons each and self-supporting embedded in 25 tons of
concrete!
One is used as a full-sized vertical for 160 meters with 4 radials (over
300 countries worked). The other one is basically used as a support
structure for delta loops for 80 and 30 and a 40 meter dipole. Wow!
