We have been a three tents with SSB/CW modes plus one more tent for Digitals modes

Tent one (Two transceivers): 6m - 10m - 12m
Tent two (Two transceivers): 15m - 17m - 20m
Tent three (Three transceivers): 30m - 40m - 80m - 160m
Tent four (Two transceivers): Digitals modes from 10m to 80m

All tents was been well separated (from 100 to 300m) to minimized the interferences
between it.

We work with N1MM Logger Software in all SSB/CW Stations .

We need to Logging all QSO in all PC's to grant a never-loss QSO data.

For that reason we use a WI-FI networking with a D-Link Router to connect the PC's and, of course, with WI-FI directional antenna made by YV5APF to secure a BIG Wireless signal on all computers. Check it's brochure on "Antennas" Section
