I had another experiment with this mode of operation today. Lots and lots of listening, but the cold temperature had driven me inside..! So far so good but I do need to source a duplexer, having seperate radios ( the ft817nd & ft897d ) and having to ajust the dopler on both the radios with the micorphone in hand while turning the mast with the other hand is a chore.. This is what I managed to get together in a few hours...  2m and 70cm beams both made by Tonna  The beams are fixed so far with the upright stood on a wide tripod.  The beams have been hanging on the wall what seems like forever. I've more or less had all the equipment for a while and planned on trying QSO's on the birds. Normally very easy to listen to with the sotabeam and my VX-7r but this time I wanted something a bit more and without the need to get arm ache! My Wish List A rotator... hopefully a azimuth controlable one A controller from MIke WB8CXO To be continued |
