With this antenna setup. Stack of 3 antennas contest crew F1AAM, F6BKD, F1FIH and F2CT Wins  F8TD Trophy 2021

 

 

In the picture are Bernard F6BKD/HB9AYX, Michel F1FIH, Jean Pierre F1AAM, and F2CT.
Excellent results with ODX more than 1000 km.

Congratulations to the team.

 

A Major advance in Amateur Radio antenna design.

All antennas have been calculated using state-of-the-art full 3D Electromagnetic Simulation
Software including the influence of the boom, bracket, baluns, and connectors.

The performance of antennas designed using these techniques is exceptional, far better than
antennas designed using “wire” programs like EZNEC Pro/4 –NEC v5.0, 4NEC2, MMANA, or AO.
