AirScout proves its worth again... three planes in 'hot spot' and Grant VK2MAX RS53 (RS58 given to me) on 432.2MHz.

Great progress made on the 2.4GHz transverter. Multiplier board completed.

Transverter board completed - well almost! Dropped a 22pf SMD cap on the floor... just need another one and it's done!

Four planes in the 'hot spot' and at this moment on 432MHz Grant VK2MAX was up to RS53 and gave me RS59!

The M2.5 taps arrived, so construction of the 2.4GHz tvtr has started!

So far holes drilled and tapped to enable the multiplier board (not epoxied as yet) and SMA connectors to be mounted to the base plate with M2.5 5mm s/steel pan head screws.

Moon set this morning was very inconvenient... right on queue for getting kids to school etc... but left the 6m rig running with the yagi on the moon....

Nice to get home and walk into the shack to see decode from Ken G4IGO calling John VK5SIX (VK5PO).

Have just completed 2-way CW MS contact with Oly VK3XDX... Oly was up to 579 and 599 received.

It was interesting to see on one of Oly's CQ calls 100HZ sidebands on his signal in the pic above.

Some more progress towards being active on 2.4GHz... MiniKits EME166 Sequencer kits built and tested.

And FT-817ND (IF txcr) arrived (Thanks Col VK4MIL for the courier service)
