Leave it to the RedmondGeeks to create a useful tool but leave it undocumented rather than make it easily available. And a big thanks to NumberOneSon for showing me the trick. There’s a feature for Windows 7 users called GodMode, which is simply a tool/folder that has a lot of the more useful system administration tasks [...] ENVIRONMENT: The following applies to an install of Writelog on a Windows 7 64 bit platform with User Account Control enabled. Probably works for any Windows 7 version. It may also apply to Vista, but that version of Windows has not found its way into my hands, so experiment at your own speed. All installs [...] Got a chance to work on the matching network for the inverted-L, adding in series capacitance, a choke, and balun. This gave me a good match at about 1840, and the SWR was decent from 1815 up to about 1860. The results seemed to be an improvement in the chances of being heard by most [...] edited and amended11/02/2009, kaz Here is a small project that will work along with the K9AY RX antenna, and solve a minor SO2R problem in the KazShack. Currently theK9AY feedline comes into the KazShack directly to the RX input for one of the transceivers. I wanted to have a way to share the antenna between the two [...] Jeff, KE9V, has a blog post on an outstandingly good idea for a QSL card display. In a nutshell, scan the cards you really like, then load the images into one of the new digital photo frames. Sweet. At the bottom of this page is an accumulation of some of the SO2R resource materials I used in developing my own custom SO2R solution. My first SO2R post hashes out the thought process involved in choosing the homebrew methodology for hacking together a workable SO2R set up via home brew components. The big issues for [...] Part 6 of the W4KAZ filter project series discusses the actual measured S-meter calibration, and the filter attenuation estimated based on S-meter measurements. As I meandered through Part 5 of this group of posts, I needed to find a way to calibrate the S-meter scale on the FT-920 to a 6DB reference. Lacking any real test [...] With Field Day right around the corner the K3NG Home Brew Field Day Tarp Canopy seemed timely. I don’t have(i.e. “will not have”) a google account, so I couldn’t post comments to K3NG’s post. But it’s cool enough to bookmark permanently. Literally. Putting shade on the tent keeps the operating position much cooler. My initial reaction [...] Time for a centralized list of home brew projects. So all of the following have been listed on their very own page linked in the sidebar to make it easier for me to find them. SO2R related: Band Pass Filters(a series of postings) Other: Using PL-259’s on CATV F11 Part 4 of the W4KAZ filter project series comments on the process leading up to the integrated box full of NVARC Ugly filters for use in the KazShack. The quest continues. Notes: Link to photos of the project at bottom of this page. If you want to read about the project from the beginning, go [...] |
