It’s all working. 2 x TS990s rigs to 8 antennas – all switchable with Dual VFOs – complete with Relays, Power Supplies and Station Ground. What do you think?

Due to the exposed mains voltages on these PSUs, I decided to fit them inside an electrical cabinet. Then everything get’s more and more difficult! PS 12V will run all the field relays and Genius 8×2 and aux kit – and the 24V PSU will run the Yaesu GS2800 and G450 DC rotators.

Do You Run an Amplifier?

Can you arrive, setup and be on the air inside half-an-hour? I tried it! DX Commander Venture Antenna, TS-590SG and Tokyo Hy-Power HL-700B amplifier. Thanks to the crew of Telford & District Amateiur Radio Society for hosting me.

Waiting for dawn in Warwickshire
Just chilling…
Big job today and I was dreading it – but we finally got the extension fitted to the 4-inch (actually 110mm) underground pipe and then into the Coax Cabinet – and pulled the 11 cables through. Next up, Cable exit, Rotator controllers and Genius Switches – and a ton of coax.
