Anybody have idea what this modulation is? 10.1547, sounds like garbled CW.
Finally, laser cut PTO former with brass screw.
Oscillator board
Mixer board
The filter board.
The audio amplifier.
Overall build (a mess!)
Quick #bikepota at local 2299. Shaking out the gear in preparation for RAGBRAI (https://ragbrai.com/). Biggest note: turns out I have reached the age that a stool or picnic table access is quite important. Ouch my knees/back.
Quick POTA activation on the hambike. Notes: (1) bike needs some tweaking (squeeky swinging dropouts), (2) need to figure out a better mast deployment strategy (3) need better organization for antenna bits. Overall it went well though - a quick 14 miles, a couple of hills, 28 qsos on 20m.
On the bike - a Specialized AWOL. Purchased back in ~2015 because I was getting into touring. Somehow the time to tour never really appeared. It also has a 2m flowerpot dipole mounted above the rear rack, with RG-58 running up to a Yaesu VX-6R mounted to the handlebars. Heavy, but surprisingly rideable.
