Nasty Albert rises!

November 20, 2010

A work party consisting of G1ANI, 2E0VYV and myself G4LUE continued working on GB3NA’s new instalation commencing at 11.15am till 4pm. Totalling some 14 man hours work so far.

We are using a Diamond X5000 2/70 and 23cms antenna. We ran a 30 metre length of LDF550 digital feeder cable as analogue cable is now expensive and hard to come by. See pics in gallery

We tilted tower over, erected scaffolding and had a good time working on the installation.

We also fitted a UHF dipole for remote control all cables in to cabinet that require checking out tomorrow.

Tower put back in vertical position and raised back to 60 feet.

Also, some good news about GB3HF. I have been informed that the 50Mhz equipment should be available within the next week, this is good news as a antenna erecting party is needed for GB3HF site ASAP

GB3SY will be moved in to the new cabinet within the next few days and also GB3NA will be put in the same cabinet using the same antenna GB3NA will be tested and put in receive mode untill the NOV is issued

Ham radio and D-Star to get boost from TV sitcom

The ABC Television series, “Last Man Standing” is about Mike Baxter (played by Tim Allen), a marketing executive for “Outdoor Man,” a fictitious sporting goods store in Colorado. Mike, is a “man’s man” and involved in all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating. Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T. In the show’s radio inventory is currently an ICOM IC-9100 HF radio, an IC-92AD dual band, hand-held, a Heil PR-781microphone, a Daiwa CN-801HP SWR/Power meter a Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzer and a Iambic CW Paddle.
