My Week in Radio
- My favorite way to learn things: experiments
- diagnose and repair a bad coax cable
- no continuity on center conductor
- plugged it into the nano vna, switched to smith chart
- saw a big spiral around the outside
- no change in the graph on the other side
- compared to a working cable
- it should have spiraled
- maybe alonger spiral for a longer cable
- 71 foot random wire with 5W is not needing the tuner
- disconnected lots of different places and checked lots of SWR without those connections
- diagnose and repair a bad coax cable
- Tossed a wire into a tree at Swatara State Park today for some POTA contacts
- Operated the last 2 hours of the RTTY contest on 10m, 15m, and 20m.
