This second article discusses the topography of the NH QTH and how well the antenna worked in the 2019 CQ World-Wide DX SSB Contest. I ended up installing an 8010 EFHW antenna from which you can view here. Installing an antenna high up in one of the trees on top of the hill is powerful. The RF environment in the rural forest setting was noticeably quieter. Another advantage was the house was on top of an 85-foot hill. The first was there were many tall trees over 80 feet high. Additionally, the terrain was flat, so my antenna height above my roof was all I had. The MA QTH is in Tewksbury, MA, and has all the RF noise present in a suburban environment. Advantages of operating from two locations I could have set up remote access from the NH QTH to my MA QTH, but there was something about the property that made me want to have an antenna up there. My solution was to put some effort into putting up a good antenna there and I would just bring my “rig” up to NH when we went there. ![]() Additionally, I wanted to be able to operate from our second home in NH. As a new ham, I focused on building a shack in my primary QTH in MA. The point of the article is to describe how I transport the interior of my shack from one QTH to another. I can afford to have an antenna set up at each location but duplicating the radio and amplifier is more expensive. My wife and I have two houses, one in MA and the other in NH. ![]()
