Recently my Dad made me some custom wall brackets. I will be using the brackets to support a pole and my new Yaesu G-450 rotator, WIMO SHF-2344 yagi for 23cm, EAntenna EA270ZB13 yagi for 2m and 70cm and masthead pre-amplifier unit for 23cm.
This post shows a technique I’ve used to straighten 10mm Microbore copper tube and forms one of a series of video’s I’ve made to show how I’ve constructed my Quadrifiliar Helix antenna or QFH as it’s more commonly known.
Over the last few days I have been working on first phase of integrating real-time DX cluster information to my new website so I can view activity on the go.
Taking raw data from a JSON API made available by DXCluster.co.uk , I have developed PHP, CSS and JavaScript that adds styling and automatically refreshes the cluster table every 10 seconds. Thank you to DXCluster.co.uk for the continued use and support of the API.
