Finally after been two weeks late I am proud to be able to tell you all, we were blessed with a beautiful Daughter.

She is only 3 days old and is already practising her CQ call as seen in the picture. We were up early again listening around the bands for some rare DX All the best from a very Happy Ham Family. 73

Congratulations Simon and Louise with your beatifull daughter. From what I see on the photo she is very healthy. Doesn't she have a name yet? I hope you both can get some sleep next couple of weeks, as she needs her milk at the middle of the night I know. In a few years she can talk on the radio with my daughter, that would be great. 73, Bas

Thank You PE4BAS Bas, Dave M3CSD (lurchermanuk), Nash JN4VWH, Tomas OK4BX , Paul M0PCZ, Martin M3POG, Tom F8COD & Hans PE1BVQ for all your lovely comments.

Both Louise and our new Daughter are doing really well, we have had a good week and she is a very healthy happy baby.

She already enjoys looking at the radios illuminated. there is hope for a future foundation licence holder ;) 73 all

Simon & Louise -

Congratulations!! Been busy lately and haven't hit the blog for a couple of weeks, so I just learned of the great news today. Thrilled for the two of you, and wish you and your daughter all the best! How does Dudley like having a sister?

Hi Ken thanks for the congrats. Dudley is already looking out for his baby sister and likes helping pull her pram nice and slow up the moorland track.
All the best 73 Ken, great to hear from you!

Full Size Delta Loop for 20M

-
Image
I came across a simple delta loop design courtesy of dxzone found on the net some time ago and have been planning to give it a go for a while. This weekend I had a couple of hours spare, so I decided to give it a go using some 2mm multi strand wire cable, a dipole centre and a mixture of 75 ohm and 50 ohm coaxial cable. The delta loop is supposed to be resonant on 20 meters but I found it to be a little high so at present I am tuning the Loop with my mfj-969 which copes extremely well. The resonant frequency is 13.2 MHz at the moment so the next chance I get, I shall shorten the overall length making sure that each of the three sides are still equal in length, and hopefully adjusting the antenna for maximum performance ATU free for 14.2 MHz. I believe the miscalculation in the resonant length is probably down to the fact that my wire is covered in the plastic sleeving from the manufacturer which always effects the swr as I have noticed in past experiments with dipoles you always get sl

Homebrew 40/80 Trap Dipole Design

This Antenna design was one that I used about 4 years ago, it worked exceptionally well on 80m and 40m. The size of the antenna makes a Half wave length on 80 meters, and with the traps a half wave on 40m with a SWR (standing wave ratio) of 1:1-1.5 across both bands. It worked well also on 20m with the use of an A.T.U (antenna tuning unit). I made my version of this antenna using 3mm multi strand copper cable which I left covered by the PVC insulation. The traps can either be home brewed using some 40mm diameter plastic drain pipe and winding wire around the pipe approximately 10 turns, then connected in line after the 10 metre lengths. Or the alternative is to purchase some commercially made 7.1 MHz traps, and fit them in line the same way. The antenna can be fed with 50 ohm coax with a home brew balan or again a commercially purchased balan. The wire lengths of the dipole are 2x 10 metres and 2x 6.7 metres as shown on the diagram above. This antenna can be mounted quite low to the gr

New DX Contact 0n 12 Meters

Today I managed a nice QSO with Tom ZD7X who is located at St. Helena which is quite a distance away from my location. I managed to work Tom ZD7X with a 5/9 report operating my FT-767GX with my home brew 20m delta loop assisted with the MFJ-969 to tune the antenna with 50 watts on 12 meters. 12M is rarely open and I have only had a few QSOs on this band so I guess the new Cycle has begun at last! Good DX de 2E0HTS 73
