Leftovers from Swap Meet

The club had a very successful swap met and sold nearly everything out of the attic. There are two notable exceptions.

The main part for a hustler 4BTV vertical antenna and a Gap Titan DX vertical.  Both antennas will require repairs to be serviceable.  Yes, I could put them back in the attic and you all can drag them out again next year and the year after that….

I estimate the scrap value of the aluminum at ~$50 for both antennas. If a club member is interested in reviving either of both, I will sell both for $40.  They must be gone by next Monday September 28. Of course, the money will go to the club.

195 machine has been repaired

The linear for the 195 machine has been repaired and is back in service from the shack. We are now outputting just shy of 100 Watts. Please use and critic the 195, send me your ideas I want to wrap up any changes by this coming Friday shooting for a reinstall back to the water towner early next week.  Remember that we are using a Comet GP-3 antenna strapped to the chimney at the shack. The shack elevation appears to 909 Ft, and the base of the Linden Ave water tower is right at 900 ft add on the 80 ft for the water tower and the and gain of a 21 ft colinear antenna I believe that will make a big difference once it is reinstalled.

Thanks & 73
