Quick note to tell you that I have uploaded the code to my Arduino temperature logging blog post.
I will be interested in hearing how you get on. 73 Adrian – M0NWK

EANTENNA (144LFA8) – 8 ELEMENT 2M YAGI ANTENNA
Last year I purchased the 144LFA8, 8 element Yagi for 2 metres from EAntenna but it’s been in it’s box ever since.
That is until now. It’s May 2021 and we have thunder and lightning so with the mast down, I have decided today I am going to build it so I can replace my 5 element one.
In this post I will show you how I built, tuned and installed the antenna on my mast.

ADS-B antenna testing
In one of my previous blog posts I showed how I am receiving ADS-B using SDRplay RSP, dump1090 and Virtual Radar Server.
In this post I compare my different antenna and pre-amplifier configurations so as to obtain the best receive footprint.

Offset satellite dish for QO-100 Es’hail-2 project
In February 2020 my 1.5 metre prime satellite dish was destroyed by strong winds from storm Dennis. The dish was ripped from it’s mount overnight and I found it at the end of my garden bent and dented. Beyond repair I had no choice but to scrap it.
After a few weeks of searching I purchased a secondhand 1.5 metre x 1.7 metre offset dish.
This blog post contains pictures of the dish as it arrived. Soon I will be making modifications as part of my QO-100 Es’hail-2 project.

MAKE A MAINS FILTER FOR EMC & NOISE REDUCTION
This article shows how I have made a mains filter that is extremely effective in reducing and in some cases eliminating completely EMC from the electricity supplying my shack.
MiniTiouner V2 Construction Project
MiniTiouner hardware was designed by Jean-Pierre F6DZP and is a DVB-S/S2 USB receiver that works with MiniTioune software. It covers 143MHz to 2450MHz and was designed for use by Amateur Television (ATV) operators.
Like other amateur radio operators I want to use the MiniTiouner and software to receive transmissions from the Es’hail 2 QO-100 geostationary satellite.
I built my MiniTiouner (phase 1) in January 2019 but due to work commitments have just got round to using it.
