Jim,

Good luck with the p= rojects list. Still waiting for my VLF NoV renewal after a couple of months= . They are certainly making a "jobs worth" out of what should be = a simple rubber stamp exercise. At least the courtesy of a "we are dea= ling with this and expect to hear back in x weeks/months/years/centuries&qu= ot; would be nice.

Last year I started keeping a lab logbook at home to write down the cir= cuits and notes as I was designing things. Did this years ago in my work, b= ut never got into the habit at home. It is VERY useful to skim back through= the pages to find what I did on 10m QRP or MF.. So G3XIZ is spot on.

472kHz WSPR has been fun so far and I am keen to have a few more = CW QSOs. Getting 579 from Chris so you should hear me OK.

Hi All,

Here=92s my todo list for 2013.=A0=A0 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 permitt= ing (it needs to be fine for my Site Supervisor G3XIZ to pedal over on his bicy= cle, 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 =96 repair the TX/modify as a PA and use IC 735 as 137 exciter instead<= /span>
  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 C= BA or pXYL syndrome
  7. reinstall Ic706 in Volvo (properly and without use of insulating tape, iron wool, scotchclips)<= /u>
  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<= /font>
  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!)<= u>
  12. rewind and set up a 477 coil and ant system for GI7NKS (IO64nk) so I can WSPR and perhaps CW back t= o 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 offic= e shack
  14. retask the kids trampoline and swings as antennas or earths.=A0=A0 The kids trampoline in particular looks like a miniature version of the =93Elephant Cage=94 antenna at RAF Chicksands and the swing frame would make a damn fine s= et of radials
  15. I bought a YA30 T2FD from the RSGB offer on a whim and I want to put it to use. I=92ve heard conflic= ting reports on T2FDs so its time to do my own experiments
  16. talking of experiments, I=92m going to take a leaf out of G3XIZ=92s book, quite literally, and keep a hardback notebook of experiments and especially computer set ups so = I=92m not pereniially re-inventing from scratch, or just scratching my head<= u>

=A0

that should keep me going for a while!
