Welcome to CT1ENI’s website!

I’m a licensed Amateur Radio since 1991 and I love radiofrequency transmission and to experiment on DX and digital communications.

Right now, my little shack consists of the following equipment:
For the HF bands I use a Kenwood TS-140s, Kenwood TS-50 and Yaesu FT991 with a multiband cat-mustache dipole antenna and a homebrew Longwire. For digital communications with ISS I have a Kenwood TM-251e with a Kantronics KPC-3 and a Kenwood TS-790E for Satellite and VHF/UHF operation connected to two fiber-glass verticals Diamond X-510.
For APRS and Packet Radio I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 with linBPQ on a Raspbian Linux platform. It’s an excellent way to have your digital communications system with a stable OS and low power consumption.

Please, feel free to browse over this website and send me your suggestions to ct1eni@outlook.pt.

This is unlike the more common 1/2 wavelength dipole antenna, which is resonant at only a narrow band of frequencies. In addition, the Bi-Cone antenna range of near resonant frequencies is …
