I recently obtained my call in USA after initial VK call then long time with no activity.
I am focusing on only digital 30, 20 and maybe 17 m .
Plan so far:
Completed items:
Set up 2 dedicated Linux computers with 13.8 V supply.
Restore, update swl receiver with added dds.
Swl antenna 40 to 17 m
Purchase vintage Spect An.
Purchase new 'scope to assist the vintage ones.
Add ground rods and weather proof antenna cable access to basement .
In progress:
Hermes single board dual txcv
(Late delivery by chip shortages)
Build 13.8 V UPS , about 50 A.h battery cap.
Build lightning arrestor panel for antenna cables.( Had strike damage already)
Future, not fully planned yet:
30, 20 m ocf dipoles
HF linear amp about 50 to 100 Watt. 13.8 V I think I will just purchase one initially although prefer building stuff rather than buying appliances.
