Shack Decoration
Written by M0YOM   
With CQWW looming and it becoming certain that we would not be in our new shack in time, we decided that our current temporary shack could do with a clean up and a fresh coat of paint. So over the last weekend we stripped out everything from the shack, painted and cleaned the room then put it all back together again.

It's amazing how much kit we had in there.

We also took the opportunity to get on the roof and do some work on the matching system for our top band dipole.

Finished tuning the stubs filtering system yesterday, they are quite easy to do however i should probably have done this at the main station shack as my own shack is a bit small for hundreds of meters of Coax

Band Pass Filters Complete
Written by M0YOM   
Following the discovery of a design problem when using current sourcing drivers in the Decoder boards within the BPF's a permanent fix has now been applied.
 
The SWR characteristics of the Filters were also measured for future reference. These have been used twice now and have performed excellently.
