Beeing very glad about today's QSO on 10m. Contact #1 two days ago went to Saudi Arabia, today's #2 to Namibia, Windhoek with a solid 55! That's 7794 km/4842.967072 mi. Thank you Mike/V51MA!
The T2LT antenna works exceptionally fine. The SWR is nothing but a dream. I heard again Chile and even a station from the USA. Maybe next time they'll receive me too...?

T2LT: I tried building one also for 10m (simple #pota antenna), but is was a pain to get it acceptable.
Closest was near-perfect for 12m so I left it there and told myself I made one for 24.9 MHz.
Worked VE3, W4 and some more DX with 100W the afternoon of the test.
Took it down and never actually used it.
What are your sizes? Any pictures?
Have fun with it. 73
Attached: 4 images Upon request I'm giving a short description of my T2LT vertical dipole that works perfectly fine on 10m. For 11m add about 10 cm/3.94 in and start testing. It is simple to make AND to handle, is reliable and somewhat durable (when you stiffen the windings and take care) Top: 270 cm/106.30 in stripped layer of RG58 Middle: 244 cm/96.06 in RG58 with layer Choke: 5 turns, 11 cm/4.33 in diameter (use a pot, pipe, ...) SWR: 1.0:1 on nearly the whole band Questions? Please ask!!
