Antipodean Antenna Adventures

With Bob Bower, GM4DLG

Bob’s one-man DXpedition to ZL, ZL7, VK9L, VK9N and VK7—which took place from January to March 2024—is currently being serialised in RadCom. The first part was published in the February 2025 issue, with parts two and three to follow in March and April 2025. This Tonight@8 presentation complements these, and includes additional information such as personal anecdotes.

Bob operated on 20, 40 and 80m with 100W SSB into vertical arrays of his own design. His Holy Grail was a valid 80m greyline QSO with Great Britain. Did he achieve it?

Tonight @ 8 webinars are live-streamed on our YouTube channel and special BATC channel, allowing you to watch the presentations and ask questions online
