It does not magically grant resonance or efficiency to an inherently inefficient antenna structure. * Exceeding operational limits (power, frequency ranges) can permanently damage the antenna system, measuring equipment, or dummy loads. * Always operate in QRP mode (low power) during tests and experiments to minimize risks. ===== Radio S.hack ===== * cable tray [done!] * display arm [done] * shelves + working table//:// [[user>czechu]] [done] * wider shelves v2 * lightning protection * coax patch panel * grounding * electrical distribution board * 230V AC power distribution * 13.8V DC power distribution * network connection * Yaesu FT897 HF * Motorola MC2100 VHF Type:MR304A S/N:204IUC1943 Model:M01KHM9AN5AN * Octagon SF8008 4K UHD Single S2X Receiver ===== R.oof equipment ===== * network - fiber patchcord * router * electrical installation with lightning protection * mains power meter with remote readout (pzuk meter) * galvanized steel lightning grounding wire 8mm * rack * GPS * additional sat support [done] * simple painting [[https://matrix.hackerspace.pl/_matrix/media/v1/download/hackerspace.pl/dGuUnofkqNFGFBlJETRLyQCY|glider 4 example]] [done] * There's an Olympic-size swimming pool on the roof ===== Telegraphy ===== * morse code learning device - MorseLAB by SP8KM * lambic paddle * MorseLAB-compatible (black) Bluetooth keyboard ===== Projects ===== * Aviation ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) [[.:hamradio:adsb|ADS-B ground station]] * All-in-one cable [[.:hamradio:aioc|AIOC]] ===== Other ideas ===== * outernet * hamnet * viasat/tooway * starlink * dvb-s2 ip * aprs - LoRa done. cross-band? * packet radio bbs * lorawan * meshtastic * cbradio * pmr446 * emergency communication * fm poland/svxlink * websdr service [[http://websdr.org/|WebSDR]] * weather station * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M17_(amateur_radio)|M17 project]] * [[https://satnogs.org|SatNOGS]] * time & frequency - GPSDO, NTP/PTP * LW time receiving * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCF77|DCF77]] * [[https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCSK225|PCSK225]][[https://e-czas.gum.gov.pl/e-czas-radio/|GUM e-Czas]] * radio museum * valve technology * operation checklists * paper QSL cards * card design * bureau/direct distribution * displays. lots of displays. ===== Location ===== * Azimuthal map -> {{ :projects:sp5hack_azimuthalmap.pdf }} * QTH Locator KO02LF 87EX [[https://aprs.fi/#!addr=KO02LF87EX|https://aprs.fi/#!addr=KO02LF87EX ]]
