Ham-fest Season
2024-02-27
On Sunday, January 14th, Sam KD2RZY and the author ventured off to the Southern Tier Metropolis of Marathon, NY for the Skyline Amateur Radio Club Ham fest. We had never been to this event so we really didn’t know what to expect. I for one was pleasantly surprised.
The doorman above looks strangely familiar.
Another familiar face.
Found an LDG IT-100 auto-tuner from Rick Pierce N2QPQ for a very good price. The only hitch was it was set up for ICOM radios. A little research on the internet and built a cable to connect the radio, tuner, and 12V power. This home-brew solution along with a 9:1 unun tunes a random length wire antenna, 80 to 10 meters.
