VU3FBT & VU2DBM had a long one to one QSO on many topics.VU2DBM also explained to VU3FBT working of his tri bander(10-15-20mb) Yagi(six elements) where two of the radiating elements were capacitively coupled(with one coaxial cable as feeding line..)- and one can check VU2DBM's Yagi antenna on his QRZ.COM page.

VU2DBM also became nostalgic recollecting his amateur radio activities in 1990s from Pathsala beginning with NR60 homebrewed transreceiver and then a Yaesu commercial transreceiver & his big loop antenna on four bambo posts in the four corners around a big pond in his residential campus...and he made QSOs with not only with Indian amateur stations as far away as in Nagpur -VU2AU, in Pune-VU2DK but also DX stations as far as United States.

Here is the link to the audio file recorded around 1848ist on 7145kHz:VU2DBM's nostalgic recollection of his loop antenna at Pathsala wayback in 1990s..
VU2DBM also homebrewed a power supply unit & manual antenna tuner as per circuit diagrams that appeared in ARRL Handbooks and he is still using the power supply unit and the manual antenna tuner sometime with his sentimenal Yaesu transreceiver.Now he is using Icom IC 300 with Furuno linear amplifier regularly with his 40mb delta loop and for DXING he is using his Yagi for 20mb/15mb/10mb.And he is the first amateur radio station to be operated from Pathsala Town,his home town wayback in 1990s.Later he has shifted his station to Guwahati city.
More such reports/observations/interesting informations etc from time to time.
