The config was the same as last year but with 2 piece this time.<br \/>\nIt took ~1 hour for the two &#8220;long walks&#8221; to get it done tho the mother nature was really kind with the 10C temperature. I wanted to be more precise regarding the directions so I used Google Earth to have exact (actually with 2m tolerance) locations for the start\/mid\/end points. I was so enthusiastic I drove the grounding rods right after the positioning but with this I made a pretty big mistake. I left the coax at last. As the Beverages are on a farmer field ~70m LoS from the house I made pretty hard time for myself when the cable was missed to reach the room with 3m for both cases. I had to really fine tune the route to squeeze this 3m out from the system. It took at least 1 hour to get this done not letting the road cross to be too tight avoiding any damage a car pass over might cause.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/usa_ja_bev.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1314\" title=\"usa_ja_bev\" src=\"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/usa_ja_bev.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/usa_ja_bev.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/usa_ja_bev-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>The actual length of the JA cable (both coax in yellow, the antennas are red) is exactly 100m.
