Our new place to live in Ostenfeld, about 12km east of Husum in JO44OL.
The HF9VX multiband vertical for HF and the Diamond X-500 for VHF/UHF are up and running now since late June.
In September, a small 10m tower came up, supporting a Kelemen multiband-dipol for 40/60/80m.

HF antenna setup

The noicelevel on the bands is VERY low, 10m to 20m almost S1 up to S3/4 on the lowbands.
Feels like Ham's paradise to listen to the bands from a countryside compared to my former city QTH...

The shack of DK7UY, only the HF digimode station and VHF/UHF for local FM is up and running.

Some changes at the antenna system took place in 2021:
The 27 years old Diamond X-500 got damaged during a serve storm in March and was replaced by an X-30.
A new Spiderbeam mast 14,5m HD was installed supporting the following antennas:
Kelemen Dipol for 160m
Kelemen Dipol for 40/60/80m
Kelemen Dipol for 10/15/20m
Dipol for 30m (Will be replaced with Kelemen Dipol for 12/17/30m asap)
