VU4X Update (Nov 12)
Saturday, November 9, was marked on the calendar as new VU4X team meeting and test day.
Team members present:DJ5MO Jelmer | ON4AMX Marc | ON4HIL Patrick | ON5UR Max | ON5TN Karel | ON6CC Marc | ON7RU Franky | ON7USB Geert | ON8AZ Francis | PA3EWP Ron | PA9M Marcel.
We gathered at 8 am, starting with coffee and some coffee cakes while catching up. Then, we reviewed our ‘To-Do’ list, as a long day lay ahead. ON4HIL Patrick began by giving us a detailed explanation of the bandstop filters he is building.Tasks were then divided into groups, and we got to work. After gathering a large amount of material and organizing it, it was time for the first major test of the day.
On the todo list was:
• Building and testing the two Spiderbeams.
• Measuring high-power bandpass filters.
• Testing and measuring bandstop filters.
• Preparing coax cables (800 mtr).
• Setting up and testing stations, computers, networking.
• Testing stations and antennas in combination with the high-power bandpass filters and bandstop filters.
The initial tests and results were very positive. We concluded that it was a very productive day.After working almost non-stop, it was high time to wrap up, especially as some team members still had a 250 km drive home.
