Hi All,

 

Here’s my todo list for 2013.   2012 = was less productive due to a rather suddenly poorly XYL (now resolved thank = God and Addenbrookes Hospital) so I shall have another run at these weather = permitting (it needs to be fine for my Site Supervisor G3XIZ to pedal over on his = bicycle, while I provide tea, beer and biscuits!)

 

 

  1. Log all regular users = on CW and aim to get 2 way with G3DXZ and G3KEV
  2. run RTTY, WSPR, WSJT = and Opera on 477
  3. Achieve 1000 km WSPR, = then 1500km and thn 2000km+ or poss WSJT and = OPERA
  4. Reactivate my VLF NOV = and start experiments again on 8.97KHz or use ground electrode mode and get a = 2 way QSO with XIZ or X-band on 477 return
  5. 137Khz – repair = the TX/modify as a PA and use IC 735 as 137 exciter = instead
  6. sort out the rats nest = nonsense that is the antenna farm at G7NKS, multiple jury rigged lash ups = with have then adopted a degree of permanence due to ongoing functionality = and CBA or pXYL syndrome
  7. reinstall Ic706 in = Volvo (properly and without use of insulating tape, iron wool, = scotchclips)
  8. feed airband radios = with a proper aerial system that leaks slightly less than a = coathanger
  9. get up to 8wpm hand = cw
  10. work /P a lot more = especially by the seaside in Cromer and down on south = coast
  11. sort out GI7NKS = antenna system and get it more efficient (now that is a small garden 5m x 5m!, and = my house over there is a little 2 bed semi and so RFI is a big = concern!)
  12. rewind and set up a = 477 coil and ant system for GI7NKS (IO64nk) so I can WSPR and perhaps CW = back to home while over there
  13. just for fun I want to = run a broad split whereby I use a Wireless N 5Ghz system to remotely = control a QRSS laptop driver on either VLF/137 or MF in the garage from my = office shack
  14. retask the kids = trampoline and swings as antennas or earths.   The kids trampoline in particular looks like a miniature version of the “Elephant = Cage” antenna at RAF Chicksands and the swing frame would make a damn = fine set of radials
  15. I bought a YA30 T2FD = from the RSGB offer on a whim and I want to put it to use. I’ve heard = conflicting reports on T2FDs so its time to do my own = experiments
  16. talking of = experiments, I’m going to take a leaf out of G3XIZ’s book, quite literally, = and keep a hardback notebook of experiments and especially computer set ups = so I’m not pereniially re-inventing from scratch, or just scratching my = head

 

that should keep me going for a = while!
