Today, the call TF4X has been issued for use at the TF4M station.
One operating position is fully functional. The shack has 4 operating positions and each position can choose any available transmit antenna through a 100 kW Strip Line Matrix Switch remotely controlled.
The remaining tasks are to install panels at each operating position to plug in bandpass filters, install wiring for remote antenna switches and power combiners, install computers at positions C and D, wire up PTT control to the Strip Line Matrix switch (to prevent the possibility of hot-switching) and build an indicator panel for the switch.
I will now concentrate on the farm work until autumn before continuing with the project.
One operating position is ready – position B which has the control unit for all antennas. Some work remains, dressing cables, installing computers and building brackets for Bandpass Filters etc.
TF3AO, TF3PPN, TF2CT and TF3IGN operated my station in the Multi-Single category.
They made 970 contacts.
CALL: TF4M
The object of the contest is for amateurs around the world using RTTY to contact as many
amateurs in other parts of the world as possible during the contest period.
