IH9/IZ2LSC (AF-018 PANTELLERIA ISLAND). I'm QRV since 19 July and have made around 500 QSOs. Good opening yesterday in 17m. The internet connection from the QTH is not good, so to upload have a reliable internet connection I have to go downtown. I will do the possible to keep the log online up to date. 73 de Andrea IZ2LSC

Preparing the antenna for IH9/IZ2LSC

Yesterday I prepared the vertical dipole for 17 m. that I want to use from Pantelleria AF-018.
The total length of the dipole is 790 cm and it's mounted on a fishing rod. I used a balun 1:1 from Siegfried DK9FN.
I tested it in my backyard near concrete wall and metallic objects, so it' not an optimal location but I want to find out the rough measure to facilitate the installation on the island.
This is the SWR curve:



And These are R Z and X:


Not so bad for now.
