[IRCA] DX opportunity changes and DKAZ gear

["Michael Yule" <michaeldyule@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all - many of you will have noted that I've been selling off some of my
gear, and I thought I'd let you know why. It seems that I'm on the move
again, I just can't seem to stay put.

 

So we sold our house and will be moving on August 1st to Florence in Italy
for several years at least. This will completely eliminate the opportunity
for a DKAZ as we will be in an apartment in the historic centre of the city.
We will be close to the Boboli Gardens, however I think that they would take
a dim view of antenna erection there.

 

I'm bringing the ELAD and will likely do some DXpeditioning in the Tuscan
countryside, but probably not for a little while as we adjust to our new
home. In the meantime I may try my hand at some FMDX since it's e-skip
season.

 

Anyway, I have to take down my DKAZ, the new owners of my property don't
want it, hard to imagine. So I have 2 sets of the wonderful termination
units that Colin Newell made for me about a year ago. One set is completely
unused, and 1 set has experienced a Nova Scotia winter outside and still
works perfectly - this set has had the BNC connectors replaced with banana
jacks, as I found it much easier to connect the DKAZ that way. If anyone is
interested in either of these, let me know and make me an offer. I can't
take them with me, so if it's at all reasonable I'll accept it.

 

It's been fun being here in Nova Scotia, we really love it , but it's time
to try our hand in another place. If you think it would be of interest I
will still post what I'm hearing on MW from my new location. It will be
interesting having stateside and Canadian stations being exotic DX rather
than those darn pests you have to null out.

 

Kind regards,

 

Michael
