New Cobweb antenna for EI0MAR

Recently, a five-band Cobweb antenna was erected at
EI0MAR (Howth Martello Radio Group). The Group thanks
Jack (EI7HX) for his kind donation of the antenna.

Previously, a vertical antenna had to be raised and lowered each time the station was activated.

The Cobweb is now permanently installed and allows instant operation of the station by eliminating the hassle associated with the temporary vertical antenna.

A permanent 40-metre dipole was also erected recently
and now EI0MAR can be QRV on all bands from 40 to 10.

At a pinch, even 80 metres can be squeezed in with the
LDG Z-100 automatic ATU, as a recent QSO with Tom
EI1CW in Carlow confirmed.

EI0MAR is located in the vintage radio museum in Howth and is open every day from 11 until 4 until the end of October and at weekends from November until the end of April. EI0MAR is QRV most Sundays between 11 and 3.
