Greetings all: I am testing my new HiFER TX, and will be sporadically doing so over the next few days..
Time undetermined.. Trying to get it as frequency stable as possible.. For the moment at hand, it has
setteled down around 13.555.485 MHz - Mark, and 13.555.488 - Space.. But, it is temperature sensitive,
and moves up, and down a few cycles as the ambient temperature changes.. The antenna is temporary,
and I may not be getting past the driveway.. As I feel comfortable with the TX characteristics, I will put it
into a well insulated box, and place it in a draft free place in the shack, where the temp will not fluctuate
as mush as in the open.. It is presently inside a small paper box, partially covered with a paper towel,
( mainly to shield it from air flow as the HVAC cycles on / off ) ... As with all my projects; it will probably
be a work in progress for quite awhile.. Any reception reports will be appreciated..
73 to all : Andy - KU4XR
