At the
2nd of June the group with Luc PA9LUC, Cor van Duin, Frans PA3CGJ and Jaap
PA7DA went by ELAL to Israel. From the airport we travelled by car in about a
half an hour to Rishon LeZion KM71JW to stay for one week at Lisa’s rental
home. We had a great stay over there with visits and tours to Jaffo/Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem, Ein Gedi at the Dead Sea and a long desert trip into the Negev.
There were two good openings on 6 meters Several QSO’s are made into Europe and
special into Denmark, Germany and Poland. Frans PA3CGJ did operate a RX station
on 4 meters and did log several stations. Luc PA9LUC was mainly operating HF. Antenna’s
used were the 2 elements LFA Quad, a 4 meters Deltaloop, 24 el 2 meters Rope
Yagi and a LW for HF. The complaints about very bad condx on all bands because
of Au propagation. After this period we went to Sharona KM72RR via a long tour
via the Jordan valley. During this trip we visit the Israel site of Bethany and
later the Beit She'an National Park with many excavations. After arriving in
Sharona we did build directly our antennas and now also a Deltaloop for 6
meters. By rebuilding the Rope Yagi we did have this time to many problems.
Next time we transport to Israel a normal Yagi antenna for 2 meters. Also this
time condx were often no good with two good openings on 6 meters. But we made a contact with PA (PA3GND). We
made nice trips to Akko, Golan Heights (Gamla, Nimrod), Capernaum, Tabga, Mount
Beatitudes, Crusader castle Belvoir, Tiberias and more interesting places.
Problem by all this trips was that we did miss on good opening on 6 meters.
Later on
this page we will show you several pictures made during this visit to Israel.
We thank
Dovid 4Z4DP to use his antenna, Mark 4Z4KX for his friendly visits and the IARC
Tel Aviv members to meet us at their Betta Caffee.
