@g0lbk Cheers.. Look forward to working you on another band David 🥃

Wintrak all ready to go. This will be used on the 1.8m dish with about 80w (I hope)

[Ian Parker W6TCP @telespice]

@n0lwf I would have to check on the $$. According to some sources they couldn’t achieve the accuracy needed on 10g with the Green Heron. I didn’t want the hassle of have to swap it all out later so I went with WinTrak out of the gate

@g0lbk @G4KLX Congratulations David !

Laptop battery successfully replaced. Laptop is something like 3 years old. Modern gadgets not as good as the old gadgets. They seemed to last forever.

Nice to get First place… unfortunately no one else submitted for this category so it was a one horse race so to speak.

[Ian Parker W6TCP @telespice]

Elecraft K4/0 has shipped ! Thanks to K6KM for the postcard

[Ian Parker W6TCP @telespice]

@g7soz @g0lbk Yep the slew is still good 👍

[Ian Parker W6TCP @telespice]

Well the recent snow was too much for my 3.7m dish I used on 902 and 1296 so I am QRT for the time being. I will put a 1296 feed back in the 3m dish so service will resume in the summer.

[Ian Parker W6TCP @telespice]

@g0lbk David, it was a W2HRO design hex dish with chicken wire. Not really designed for portable operation but also not designed for Snow. I should have removed the wire before hand 🤓

[Ian Parker W6TCP @telespice]

@n0lwf Tempting for sure. I should have taken the wire off and that would have saved it…. Too late !

Base for the DX Engineering 80m vertical… just need to find the time to get it all installed!
