Thanks Santa

Thanks Santa for all my radio related prezzies.

All ready for the next /p outing.
A 20m/40m linked dipole from sotabeams

Stand for my FT817ND also from sotabeams

Usually propped up on an old cassette tape.






Nothing much radio related happening at the moment but some interesting articles in the January edition of Practical Wireless has inspired me to try some new things in 2014.

Possibly some data modes and must try harder with the satellites.

Lots of lovely bits i (need)

This is a stand that I have my eye on.

Available from sotabeams At the moment it is on offer at £11.00.

They also produce stands for other radios that desperately need them. Elecraft KX3 etc

These last two posts do sound like adverts don't they. But I'm nothing to do with sotabeams. I just like their stuff.

I am also looking at a kit for an audio filter. The NEScaf switched capacitive filter available from the www.newenglandqrp.org in the USA. This is priced at $42.00 including an accesories kit and postage.

This seems like a good deal when you think that the filter made for the FT817 is hovering aroud the £100 mark. And it is interchangable between rigs..
