With help from Commodore4Ever and CRG we were able to get this thing up and running as I had originally planned – With a Shuriken!

A long time ago… a very long time ago now… TheSmokinApe sent over a 3d printed dipole kit and I never had a chance to put it together until now. Combining that with some left over DX Commander parts, I’ve got a working Dipole for the upper part of the 80m band.

I’ll use this antenna for the upcoming Wisconsin QSO Party.

The DX Commander Instructions say to cut the 80m element for 19.5m. I matched the other side with another 19.5m of DX Commander wire. This came out fairly well for the lower part of the band. 1.5:1 at around 3.5MHz if I recall, but you’ll see it in the video. From there I folded it back for a broad match at the upper end of the band where voice comms live.

How did this thing hold up after one year? Never fell over… Buried in Snow, Freezing Winters, Burning Summers? Tune in! Get it? "Tune"… No? Nevermind then…

Carlos jumps out of perfectly good airplanes and tries really hard to not drop radios from 10,000 feet as he operates parachute mobile. Let’s talk about it.

I sure hope this thing isn’t potted full of epoxy like some of the Commodore C64 power supplies are.

Who puts a serviceable fuse on on the outside and a non-serviceable fuse on the inside? Why commodore of course! I’ll figure out a way inside of this thing even it it takes me 4 trips to the garage to do it.

In the end, we’ve got 9v AC and 5v DC and one trash fuse… Works for me!
