Off to Dayton and
FDIM next week. Can’t wait as I’m planning
to spend some of the kids inheritance and purchase the Siglent Spectrum
Analyzer. Looking at the SSA3021X
model. Also on the list are some
attenuators, patch cables, solder rework station and who knows what else. But I’ll know when I see it.
Looking forward to this
years FDIM. Action packed with all kinds
of time to mingle with fellow homebrewers and talk to the elite of the hobby. At
club night I will be showing off the SNA project that we had worked on with my
fellow Peel Amateur Radio Homebrew Group buddies over the past year. This should
be fun talking to the homebrew community about our project.
I’ll be participating in
the buildathon as well and the project is a 4 port return loss bridge. I don’t really need another bridge, but the
SNA project has shown that there can be different results between different bridges
and so far I think the 4 port type might prove to be the most accurate. Now I
also believe I’m splitting hairs here as the differences while small, are none
the less different.
So hopefully back to the
bench in a couple of weeks fully energized from Dayton and FDIM.
