NOVEMBER 3 VICTOR ECHO MIKE

ham radio Projects and musings from a (Relatively) new operator

Crowd-Sourced Project: Test Fitting

11/1/2017

 
While I was out of town on a business trip, the yellow DHL envelope showed up at my house!  I was checking in on the tracking info, and the day it arrived I was in Boca Raton for work.  I wanted to check to make sure that it actually made it to my house, and not one of my neighbors, so I checked in with my YL:

With the main piece of equipment in hand, I can start figuring out how to put things together (maybe the DHL guy wants to help!)  If you need to know what things I'm talking about, feel free to start all the way back at part 1 or stick around for the quick version of "here's what you missed."
For the quick refresher, here's whats up; I ended up with a neat box.  The readers of my blog decided that I should build a portable HF station around the Bitx40, and also squeeze in a Raspberry Pi computer just for good measure.

So now it's time to start trying to figure out how to stick this stuff in the box!  Rather than just do this in a void, I'll be working a little bit at a time, and getting input as I go!  The rest of this post will be a combination of my thoughts and a survey form, so as you read along, you can click to share your thoughts and vote - just remember to hit submit at the end!  If you only answer some of the questions (or none) that's fine too - just enjoy reading about my thought process!

Voting now Closed

Stay tuned for results, and the next steps in the project!


Thanks to all those that have been playing along so far!  It has been fun seeing where this project goes, and it should continue to be interesting as we keep moving forward!

         Welcome to my Ham Radio Blog!  This blog was started primarily to share my two concurrent shack builds - my mobile station and my home station.  Over time, this has grown to include sharing about my operations, and general radio-related thoughts that I have as a newer operator.  
         
    ​Enjoy!
