Hello everone here,
After finishing the power supply and transmitter a long time ago, I finally
have the TX-antenna ready at my parents house. (dismanteld the old 4 times 9
for 144MHz)
Just need to do some tests to find the proper matching.
Loading coil and variometer are ready.
Unfortunatly I have bad ground conditions, and quite some trees around.
It's an 16m top loaded vertical á la EI0CF.
This evening I heard DL1DQZ with 579 calling CQ on 136.40kHz.
Wonder what he was running; at least the antenna seems to pick up
signals........
Meanwhile playing around with Spectrum Laboratory, but sofar only "WX"
visible here,
on a coaxial loop hanging in the garden of my home. (different location from
the TX antenna)
Hope to be on soon, but also rather busy with other radio projects.
