This will be the new towers. They will be placed in the land next to the house. If all goes well building starts in March 2013. The towers will be build by Simo YT3M.
During the weekend PE9DX, PA4PS, PD0Z and myself participated in the IARU 2 meter contest as PA1T.
We made 563 qso’s and 199223 km. The points go to PI4GN
Today I connected the TS-2000 to the Radio Boss from Green Heron. I struggled with the 13 pins connector on the back side of the TS-2000. Receive audio was no problem, transmit audio was. At the end I found out that the audio only goes through the radio if you put pin 9 of the 13 pins connector to ground (TX). My mistake was that I Tx-ed with the foot switch connected to the front connector of the radio. I thought transmit is transmit but that’s not the case….
Now I can use WSPR to study propagation on HF and 6 meter.
I bought a small Prosistel PST 51. It had a potentiometer problem, so I replaced it. After that I connected it to a Green Heron rotator control box. It took me quit a time to align the rotor to the box, but at the end I succeeded. I have given the rotor a new color and it is now ready to go in a tower soon.
