First batch of antennas are ready for testing

First batch of antennas are ready for testing and creating installation instructions.

With the improved conditions compared to our initial 2020 plan, we are reconsidering the antenna plan and anticipating on the improved conditions for the higher bands.

Five new VDA’s are constructed for 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20m, all with identical materials and construction to cater for interchanging materials in case of damage. We will use 10m and 12m fiber poles as masts.”
