Monday 06/06/11

Last Monday I took some Items of radio test gear to play with. Most new amateurs have not seen a Dip Oscillator, Absorption Wavemeter or an Antenna Noise bridge.  

We played with the Dip oscillator and Absorption Wavemeter and found both seem to need re-calibration. This is another job to fit into my already busy schedule.

We then moved on to the Antenna Noise Bridge and while it did give us a lot of noise when switched on, we could not get it to work with the ATU and antenna onsite. I must look at this again and try and get it to work correctly.


Although we did not have a total success it was still a good evening.
