Photos of FC-40 with Fiberglass pole

Hi all,

I added photos of my setup in Mauritius, 3B8 from February 2006.
The antenna was a "Spiderbeam"-fiberglass pole, 12m tall, fixed at an
old construction. The radial system consisted of about 8 wires, 5 to
15m long. The antenna wire was about 11m long, fixed at the top of the
pole and ran down to the tuner.
The FC-40 tuned well on 40m, 20m and up, but no 160m, 80m and 30m.
Signals reports on 40m were quite well from around the globe.
I had 800 QSOs in 10 days during the 1-2 hour evening openings on 40m.

Would be nice to see how you set up your FC-40.
