- Age: 34
- Location: Zeeland (Netherlands)
- When and how did you start on the radio?: I started
on 1990
- Working conditions?: kenwood ts 850 sat and 9el yagi {24 meter boom - almost 80fts-} plus 7el
quad
{boom 11.4 - 37.40 fts} at the moment
- Do you have any project for the future to improve your radio
station? maybe I will
build a system with a couple of 9 elements (long boom) stacked yagis
- How is your location for dxing? I think it´s a good location
and my yagis help me out a lot
- Do you have any country wich is hard to confirm by your side?
Not sure, maybe 276-266-265-288
div.
- Do you think Internet has been an advance for radio? I think tools as cluster.dk
makes things easier to work new divisions.
Let´s gonna talk about antennas.
Erik, you have had some experiences with home made antennas.
Looking at photo sections on this web we can see one ¨monster yagi¨
(24 meters of boom length)
and another delta loop as well...
I have made more than 20 yagis,
only 1 delta loop with the help of 30AT 252 Pepe and 3
cubical quad's.
Now I have 2 tower's: a self supported
10 meter (30ft) only and a rotable tower with an elevator platform
who goes from 1,3 to 23 meters (1ft to 75.45ft) with the rotor down in
the base.
When I make 2 antennas and with this configuration I can easily compare
both antennas at same height of
10 meters (30ft)
At the moment my current system is running by a 9 elements
24 meter boom (80ft boom length) and a 7el.
cubical quad with ¨only¨ 11,4 (37.40ft) meter of boom
I work or try to improve my antenna system every 4 weeks
and I´m working on a web page with many photos
of the antennas that I hope to upload soon on Internet.

- Acording to your experience, What´s
your opinion about that famous thread ¨quad vs yagi¨???
- And quad versus
delta loop?
I
hace not so many experiences with delta loops. I just have built
only one and the gain was fairly close
to a 6el yagi with 11,4 meter;s boom at same height.
Only
front to back ratio on the yagi was slightly better.
- Wich are the technical data of your ¨monster yagi¨
and how much time did you spent on its design an built?
Originally
I make my designs using Yagimax (software) and then following my personal
experience I make some
changes and every 4 weeks I change the design to test if it works
out better or not.
I don´t spent so much time building an antenna.
I can take the tower down to 1,3 meter (less than 1 ft) over the
ground and that way is easy to work on the
rotor below the tower or antenna. To lift them up could
take a week.
Having
all materials ready I could take a single day to mount a yagi but a
quad would take me more time.
- Do you have any advice to those who want to buy their own antennas?
To build a yagi is quite simple and works
out pretty well.
- Appart of radio...do
you have some other hobbies?
No, I don´t have so much free time. I´m
busy with my work as I run this bussiness : http://www.verendo.nl/home.htm

Hope to view that website with the antennapictures soon. It has been a few years that I made QSOs with Erik. The QSOs between us are so far interesting as my location is at the complete opposit side of the Netherlands.
Erik if you read this, I hope to be back on air soon ! 19AT593 Sebastiaan
