I will back to Fernando de Noronha Island, as PY0F/PP1CZ from 23 until 29 January 2014. I will try to take part of the CQWW 160 CW Contest, last weekend of January, and outside the Contest from 10 thru 80 Meters Bands, CW, RTTY and some SSB. QSL via home call, OQRS.
Take some minutes and look at photographs following, hope you enjoy it.
Good news: 6 Meters Beacon is back in 50.085 KHz. The rig is a homebrew equipment. Call: PP1CZ, running about 10/20 Watts into a Vertical 5/8 antenna.
Sample of my QSL and some pictures from Fernando de Noronha Island - PY0F/PP1CZ.
My poor conditions. The antennas in PY0F/PP1CZ (January/2013), improvised, but worked very well.
That is my work conditions in PY0F/PP1CZ during January 2013.I put the radio inside the room, and that is the way I didn't do SSB,or else I would disturb my family when they were sleeping.
Operating time as PY0F/PP1CZ in January/2013 and the follow picture show the operation in July/2013 (using the structure of PY0FF antennas and station).
Here is a picture of the antennas I used in July 2013 from Fernando de Noronha Island - PY0F/PP1CZ. There are a A4S (04 elements Yagi to 10, 15 and 20 Meters) - the 02 elements Yagi to 40 Meters you see in the top of the tower was not working during my stay (as you might see, one of it's elements is missing a tube), as well as the A4S Rotor (the antenna is fixed all the time to north direction). The antennas and the radio shack belongs to PY0FF (thank you Andre and Morena for allow me use it). I chose a picture from a cloudy day, because it is better to view the antennas.
In this picture you can see the 160 Meters Half Sloper antenna, that unfortunatelly disapointed me a lot. I was expecting to have hundreds of QSOs on this Bands and could have only one contact. Hope better luck next time :(

Changing the antennas (january 2012). I put a tower of 6 meters high, and installed my 6M2WLC from M2 to 50 MHz., with 9 elements, 12 meters Boom.
