Summer vacation

This year vacation did not involve any antenna work at all for the first time in many years.

Did cleaned the dish and put it in storage but that pretty much all.

It recuired some elbow grease and it took most of a day to get it acceptable clean.

I did start to rebuild the amplifiers I got from Peter and the PS is now up and running on all parts.

It required some gentle touch and fiddeling but overall it was in good shape from the beginning.

Have started the rebuild on the first amp but not done yet.

Sourced material to the output combiner thanks to Ronny SM7FWZ so just need to mill the two halves and make the brass sheet combiner.

Last tuesday we had our annual gathering of SM7, VHF and EME operators and this year at Bjorn SM7SJR QTH.

It will be an impressive setup when he is done putting antennas in his 3 times 30m towers.
