Amateur Radio Station
Recently I purchased a ATU-100 Antenna tuner kit from Aliexpress. I have purchased this kit because the internal tuner of my IC-7610 has a tuning limit of 150ohms / SWR <3:1 as most internal tuners do. My previous IC-7300 had the tuner modification which extended the tuning limit, so tuning my antenna was no proplem…
My current antenna for 10 and 20m is still my old wire dipole. Construction is a wire Fan Dipole, in some slight inverterd V configuration directed East / West. Due the proper height of the antenna working DX is no problem at all.
After a period of more than 4 years of being QRT since 2018 due to severe QRM. Since March 2022 I have embraced the amateur radio hobby again 🙂 Even though there is still regular QRM present, it can now be dealt with. I use almost the same setup as before 🙂 Fortunately, I still…

The thing that pulled me over to buy the kit is the possibility to connect a Nextion touchscreen display to it. I have quite some…
To be able to calibrate the Analyzer properly (OSL), we need accurate loads. It is also important that the loads over the entire spectrum also function well, show no reflections or have other characteristics than a good load. This is quite easy to make yourself.
I have always wanted A good analyzer for HF up to VHF (2m) In the past I have build many Antenna Analyzers started with: Antan Analyzer VK5JST Antenna Analyzer Toghether with Jarek SP2SWJ we have built the BIGVNA MAX5 & MAX3 Big VNA Max 5 Max 3 Some weeks ago while I was surfing the…
Last week I have constructed a new antenna system for HF operations. 3 Years ago, I started with a 2 band FAN Dipole. for 10m and 20m. I have enjoyed operating with this antenna very very much. The only thing that was bothering me was that I could not operate on 40m. The lack of…
This morning ( 6th of may 2018 ) there was some brief propagation on 70cms. I have managed to work OZ1JMN with FT8 on my Diamond X-300 Vertical with just 20W. Few minutes later a QSO with DO1EJK . I think I will build and add a 70cm bigwheel to the mast in a couple…
