Projects List

last updated: 01/16/2007

All this is in relitive order of practical importance, Of course I may deviate.

Clean my basement and create a van simulation area
147.03 repeater for NoBarc (should be easy this time).
222 IF radio mod for driver power levels. Integrate (old one is dead!)
New fuses and Power Poles for low band rack.

At this point I am ready to go for June. BUT:::

Super rover project: (Big Power on 2g & 3g and mast mount preamp/amp for 5g)

Phase1:

Triband high power Dish feed ( I blew out my PCB paddle feed in Sept! )
Need 100w Transfer relay for tower mount preamp.
5ghz wideband mast mount preamp. This should be able to hear into the 2ghz range and at least 2db NF?
5ghz AMP Mast mount.
Maybe a new log periodic beam for low bands?

At this point I am happier for June. BUT:::

Phase2:

My problem is thus: I can not do ONLY 2g or 3g since the TWT does both and takes up all the space in the rack. SO I need to both at the same time OR redesign the rack. I am choosing for now to try to do both.

1watt 2g driver amplifier design to be used to drive the AML amp.
75watt 2g AML amp modify to ham band and integrate NEED 26v DC!
3456 Pyro Joe.
Need power splitter & combiner.
NEED 12.0v DC!
DC Power reconfig for more 12v at the rear of the Van. 35amps at 18feet! How? 00 wire? ummm Power Poles!
Need 100w 5 Band Switch relay!
Need 2 * 100w T/R relays for rack.
Uwave rack integration of the new AMPS and relay's

I can not see how I will succeed at all this by June but this is my goal!

Phase3:

5ghz double or nothing! see if I can do two 5ghz amps on the mast! That power plus the mast mount could mean a maximum of +6db over what I had in 2006.
902mhz mod and integrate a new 150watt PA I picked up on Ebay.
KJ1K designed 6m beam construction.

Somewhere over the rainbow there has got to be a solution for 1296 but that will remain on my wish list for now.
