What tower? The 20 m aluminium mast is in bits and pieces in the backyard. Too bad that I’m living in an urban area...

 

I have already tried remote operation from our summer cottage on 80m and 160m with Web Radio Control server running on a Raspberry PI4 and controlling Yaesu FTDX101D. Antenna just a trap dipole DP-16080-H from Kelemen. Noise levels are extremely low.
