Greg SP6GSA

In case anyone missed or didn't know about the interesting #Wavelog project. A few days ago, version 2.0 was released on the project's first anniversary. github.com/wavelog/wavelo… #HamRadio #OpenSource

@Tokyo1991Japan @S59MZ In this case, it came out to about 170 euros, and with 1000 pieces, it came out a little better (1mm AISI 304 stainless steel).

@SP6GSA @S59MZ Very cool! How much did that set you back?

Another experimental construction project is on the horizon. #hamradio #diy #experiments

@Tokyo1991Japan @S59MZ The price is not very attractive for such a short series, but what mattered to me was precision. With a run of 50 pieces, the fixed costs associated with the CNC process are the main cost.

@ochoseroocho I don't know what it will look like in the final version yet. I want to tackle the mechanics and controls first. I'll make sure to keep you posted on the progress.

@AE0QH 👌

@ZSsixSHN I don't know how big they'll be yet, but I won't use all 50 sets. It was easier to order more now to cut out than to make them later.

@SP6GSA Mmmm... Building your own capacitor Greg? 🤔

@SP3RNZ Yes, although I would not suggest the number of elements. It is a tall order for my current needs.

@SP6GSA I bet it will be magnetic loop butterfly🦋 capacitor 😉

@S59MZ I don't have a concrete concept yet, but I have taken the first step, which is to order for CNC cutting the capacitor components. We'll see what comes out of it 😉

@SP6GSA Very loooong buterfly capacitor or maybe two shorter? Two coupled magnetic antenna loops?

@suyogvyawahare However, this one has to be programmed with my SN, and it can only be done at their factory, which is why it took so long. However, it is still very strange, and it worries me. I know exactly when it happened, and the fault was bizarre. It's hard to believe it without a video 😉

@SP6GSA 🥺 did Yaesu gave any reason?

Welcome home again 🤗 #yaesu #FT710 #service #hamradio #hamshack

@suyogvyawahare Unfortunately, the enclosed RMA does not contain anything concrete. The seller and, at the same time, the service in Germany confirmed my request and, after consultation with Yaesu, got the information that a board swap was required.

@suyogvyawahare Yes, after replacing the main board, everything works as it should 🙂

@SP6GSA Is it working well now?

Winter has arrived ❄️

Last POTA achivements #POTA #P2P #HamRadio

The latest design from Filipe @CT1ILT … This looks very cool for /P. Single lever mini CW Key for portable operations (or fixed with metallic base) cw4ever.eu #hamradio #AmateurRadio #cw4ever

@KD9RDO Here, you can find the details of this project. printables.com/model/653813-i…

@SP6GSA Wow where's that one from!

Further search for a lightweight, simple, and handy CW manipulator to carry. It gets better, but the oceans are growing 😉 #hamradio #3dprint #diy #cw #morsecode #cwops
