A few weeks ago I had to remove the dipole for 80 and 160m because the neighbor had to clean the canals around the property. After a few weeks of snow and cold weather it was a nice day today so I decided to start the new year good en put the dipole back in service.
Also started cutting some branches that are coming to close at the EME array.
I installed two of the four beverage antennas. This time I used glass fiber poles instead of wooden (bamboo) poles. The glass fiber poles are used in the the army where they where used to support camougflage nets.
I boxed the end transformers for the beverage antenna’s.
The transformers are from DX-Engineering. There can be water in the original box. I also saw at one transformer loose ends because of pressure on the bolts when they are installed en removed at the end of the season.
Bought a 2.5 kW generator.
After I have tried several things to get CW Skimmer running on the 144 MHz computer I gave up and installed the program on the computer that belongs to the VHF-UHF desk. I redirected the coax cables to that desk en now it is working again. To connect the CW Skimmer open a Telnet session on you computer and then type: o 82.95.115.152 7300.
Note! The o is from open not a zero!!!
Note: In Windows 7 Telnet is not standard enabled. Follow the steps below to enable it.
