AE7QT’s (Antenna) Erection Party
A few of us went up to AE7QT’s place to help him put up a couple HF antennas. A little muscle and a drone got us over 100ft.
The “Shack” and a check-in to the ‘noon time net’
Quick video about my home setup. Even checked into the noon time net on 40M.
Icom ID-880h and Diamond X50A
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Since then I acquired a D-STAR radio for the house.
New Coax Choke And A Mobile DX Contact
I decided to redo the run of coax in my truck and see if I could solve a few issues.
New Problem Found
I was messing with cables and noticed something strange.
N5S
I finally got a good contact driving home from the airport…N5S, one of 2 special event stations for the final Shuttle Launch (STS-135).
Tuning and Other Problems
OK, so I have run into some problems. I’m having a hard time making contacts on HF.
The Install
The big project. Installing in my 2007 Toyota Tacoma. Why? Because I can.
Tuner and Duplexer
Went down to HRO and picked up the last major parts for the install.
