Hi Ben,

If you are still in PF88jt in about 3mths look forward to seeing if we can make the contact.

All the best,

Hi All,

Sounds like I need to put the 23cm up. Like I said will be about 3mths before I get it up.

When it is in operation it will be 10 watts into a 35el yagi. Might have to look at getting an amp to give me a bit more oomph.

Will let you all know when operational.

I was think the same thing. My wife and I have just relocated to Broken Hill QF08rb and was wondering if putting up my 23cm antenna.

It will be about 3 months before I get to put it up. Will there be any interest from people to work Broken Hill on 23cm.

Hi All, Set 2M WSPR over night and this is what I received. 1054 -21 -1.1 144.490507 -4 VK5PJ PF95 40 1456 -24 -0.8 144.490572 -1 VK5PJ PF95 40 1634 -24 -0.8 144.490570 -2 VK5PJ PF95 40 1752 -17 -0.7 144.490569 -2 VK5PJ PF95 40 1814 -25 -0.7 144.490567 -1 VK5PJ PF95 40 Antenna is a 13el on 4.5M boom...

Thanks Scott,

Have just ordered one, should take about 2wks. When it gets in I might have to make contact so I know what way is what.

Thinking of the High Gain Technology ones like http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301014854971?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. As I am using this relay with a LNA, would I need two of these? They have 4 connector slots so was just curious if I could get away with just one of these. ...

Hi All, Have been thinking along the same lines lately. My current 6m beam is 5el on a 4M boom. I would like to add a 3/4el 10m beam on the same boom. I am quite happy to feed them separately. However to save on another coax run I was thinking of feeding it the same as you would a Hex Beam! Question...

Even simpler is one of the numerous boost converters available on eBay. E.g. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151196792092 for $2.72 At that price it's hardly worthwhile building your own unless you already have all the necessary components in your junk box. This is the type of thing I was thinking about...

Hi All, Thanks for your thoughts and ideas. The Ace Technology or High Gain Telecom relays I think seem to be the go. Have noticed on both of these that they have 4 ports and run on 20 - 30 V. Is it necessary to have a connector in all 4 ports for them to work properly? and, As the LNA is designed t...

Hi All

If anyone knows of a source of coaxial relays that will handle up to 100w with very good isolation at 23cm please let us know. I am having trouble getting answers from companies that do supply them.

I personally would like to thank Graham for his assistance in getting my LNA's & sequencer working. Graham built & tested the LNA's, however through the drawing above I was able to build the sequencer/buffers myself as well as wire correctly the accessory socket. Very pleasing as I have not ...

Have a look at this site for a variety for different baluns. I have been using a 9:1 unun for a number of years and have no complaints.

Hi Arie & Adam,

I know this is probably a dumb question however "What are VOR's?"

Another good overseas supplier of microwave goodies is http://www.rfhamdesign.com I recently purchased a 2.4G helix feed from them and it arrived very quickly and it seems to work well. I have just ordered one of their 1.2m prime focus mesh dish kits so we will see how that one goes... It is hard t...

Hi All, Have owned the TS2000x now for about 3mths and have just started putting up beams to work on 2/70/23. Was thinking of getting some masthead preamps and was wondering if other owns think they are necessary. If so what type is best suited for use. Antenna types are 13el on 2m, 19el on 70cm and...

Also Looking forward to it. Might be able to pick some brains and get some more ideas.
