Time to be thinking

We’ve talked about this before, but we probably wouldn’t hurt to put together a list of what we need for a spring work party. 1. Tower repair a. Replace joint hardware (stainless bolts/nuts/washers b. Secure standoff or replace with permanent version 2. Antenna maintenance a. 40 SSB antenna dead- troubleshoot and repair b. Maintenance on other wire antennas 3. VHF tower install a. Continued: rotor control cable and test b. Test and tune feedline / beam 4. Station work a. Generally clean and de-clutter b. Configure and apply the Signalink to an FT-8800 The good news! Gary, KE8O, deserves huge applause for his work configuring the club’s FLEX 6400! The interface is basically impressive, but Gary has gone ‘way further to design and implement a club dashboard for the radio, and to provide complete online control of the beam! Now, you can work DX with a beam and superior radio set, right from your easy chair!
