Apartment dwelling ham radio nerd from Sweden. Licensed since 2019 and a youth member of SSA.
I like electronics and reading fiction.

Mostly lurking around here

I'm here for #hamradio and #electronics content

Todays project: I am trying to reduce the gain of a 10-13 GHz LNB since my ham radio club is too close to a local #hamradio 3 cm beacon.

My current thought is to just remove and bypass the component called 103 in the top left corner. I think it is another LNA but cannot find a datasheet. ... if I break it at least it was cheap.

#gridfinity storage is addicting...

Here are some of my tools, #hamradio coaxial adapters and terminations. Around 50% custom designs and 50% from the world wide web.

Today's "This is not a bomb I promise" project. My two QDX ham radios, power buttons, USB jack, voltage meter and space for my power bank in a box.

I wanted a less messy setup for portable operations.

Now Sweden has entered the four dark months :( so it is to dark and cold to go out and play radio.

At the top of my winter project list is this HF-MINIPA-70 kit. It is probably the cheapest HF power amplifier available. "70W" for 250kr (20€) using two IRF530 in a push-pull configuration.

I accidently managed to make an oscillator from my kit... time to fault find.

This should be enough to power all my coming #AmateurRadio projects! One old HP server 12V 62A power supply and one Eltek FLATPAK 48V 37A power supply.

For the second time in a row I managed to buy a radio without the power amplifier 😭

RIP this ICOM-260e

Do anyone have a good recommendation for a #vhf / #uhf #SSB transceiver?

Today i played Scooter-portable radio. 5W from my #QDX, a small 20m antenna and sunshine equaled some 30 QSO:s

Three months ago I created a github repo for this RF-attenuator PCB I designed.

Today someone found it. I hope this random person on the internet learned something from my attempts to learn things.
