WiFi connected
A TP-Link TL-WN8200ND 300Mbps Wireless USB Adapter provides a perfect connection to the access point 370 meters away. The adapter, hidden behind an aluminum cover, receives the signal at about -70 dBm. Both antennas provide a gain of 5 dBI. The access point is in free visibility. An initial 18 dBm Yagi antenna is not necessary at the moment. The further development determines the nature of the garden area. If visibility is obstructed by trees or branches, reinforcement may be useful.

The 5 kW transmitter from the province of Los Lagos could be received on 25.03.2018 between 01:41 and 02:05 h UT on the frequency 1400 kHz with the ALA 1530 S + Imperium. A short time later took CBG Gander CAN again the frequency.

LOG: 846 kc DZRV Radio Veritas PHL
Propagation path of DZRV Radio Veritas on 8 Oct 2017 at 1804z. The greylines show the complete path in darkness.
A real challenge was the receipt of DZRV 846 kc from Quezon City. On the frequency was also IRRS from Milano, another religious transmitter, with English-language program. It was difficult to separate both programs, since Radio Veritas also broadcast an English program section around 1919z. The ID came already around 1836z as Radio Veritas. Later still gospel and other announcements were heard, from which once again the location Quezon City and the stationname were audible. The skip was over for me around 1942z, Ireland and Iran came as further disturbing factors. So overall about an hour of excitement with a nice ID and a new Radioland on the mediumwave. Antenna was K9AY in NE-Direction.

Building a "new" K9AY (3) (v2.0)
a²+b²=c²
The proposition of Pythagoras, who knows and does not hate him at the same time? For the construction of a K9AY with 4 legs it makes the construction much easier. I wanted to know beforehand how long 2 legs of copper wire are when they are stretched from a height in 9.50 m to 3.50 m (5 m from the mast) and then to a height of 1.80 m to the mast for the connection to the relay box.

Radio Nacional del Paraguay 920 kc
I received a very rare reception on 5 September 2017. Between 01.00 and 04.00 z I could hear ZP1 Radio Nacional del Paraguay from Asunción / Capiatá. The 100 kW station of the state radio was weak to moderate but audible to record. Antenna was K9AY SW-leg. The other station on the map was ZYH588 Rádio Uirapurú, Fortaleza (CE) on 760 kc around 0200 z.

The masthead and tie points before erection.
Top and mast-guy-points of the new K9AY. The pole is additionally fixed to another tree. New hight is 9,50 m.
No longer visible: tangled wires and guy lines at the top, a stubborn plum tree crown.

K9AY connected
Relay box, antenna legs and controller unit are working perfectly together. The huge antenna areal covers an area of 100m², the top is at 7.50 m height, spreading SW 225°-NW 315°-NE 45°-SE 145°. Termination of loop is done with temperature stable resistors. First tests show that she does what she should do!

Welcome to my dxers'corner
"My dxers'corner is in the garden paradise where the noise is low and the antennas could be great for listening. The remote garden project was started in May 2016 and the blog tells what's developing on the remote site. It is still under construction".
