My name is Lee Hanegraaf, QTH is suburb of Waterfall situated about 25Km west of the port city of Durban. Altitude 600m above sea level. My interest is in VHF/UHF weak signal, EME and satellite communications. Main modes of operation include SSB and WSJT.

QSL Details:

P.O. Box 619

Link Hills

3652

South Africa

My Shack:

Kenwood TS 2000X for use on EME.

Icom IC-706MK2G for use on 6m.

Kenwood TS 850SAT for use on HF.

EME Station:

The 2m EME antenna sysyem consists of four 2M18XXX M2 Yagis 13m above the ground.Total Gain of 21dBd, ERP 100Kw. An actuator from a TV Dish is used to elevate the antennas to approx 75deg. Home brew Linear amp uses two by 4CX250B. LNA Tech Pre Amp CA144T uses ATF33143 PHEMPT with 0.28dB NF The phasing harness is fabricated from Shuner 1/2 inch hard line and the feed from the shack to the power splitter is 7/8 Shuner hard line.

The 70cm antenna system is two M2 432-9wl with approx 20dBd. Home brew linear uses 2 x GI7B triodes (under construction). Pre Amp uses FHX35 with 0.5dB NF. The phasing harness is fabricated from Shuner 1/2 inch hard line and the feed from the shack to the power splitter is 7/8 Shuner hard line.

The 23cm antenna is a 3.7m KTI mesh Dish with a Septum feed. Fd ratio 0.4 Preamp By LNA Tech SSA1296 has ATF36077 and ATF33143 PHEMPT 32.5dB gain and 0.4dB NF The feed from the shack to the dish is 7/8 Shuner hard line.

HF and 6m:

The 6m antenna is a 7 element M2 Yagi (6m7) 18m above the ground. Home brew Linear amp uses a single 4CX1500B.

The HF antenna is a three element tribander (TH3 junior) 12m above the ground. Linear Amp is a ETO Alpha 76CA.

A KT34XA 6 element HF tribander is currenty being refurbished and will replace the TH3 once completed .
