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.

I wonder how many folks regularly run an amplifier on HF for Ham Radio? Let me know!

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.

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.

Just chilling…
