TF/K5NA and TF/K5DU

TF4M — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:33:26 +0000

Richard, K5NA and Susan, K5DU are now operating my station.

K5NA is mainly on CW and Susan prefers RTTY.

She is using a FT1000MP MK-V into an Emtron DX-2SP amplifier with 4 Rhombic antennas.

In between the pile-ups we went to a nearby hot pool.

Today, the call TF4X has been issued for use at the TF4M station.

New Shack almost completed

TF4M — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:35:05 +0000

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.
