Projects
Well I have a few good projects coming up that I will be doing. First of all will be building a "Open Tracker." The Open Tracker is basically a TNC that will allow me to connect my GPS to it and it will then connect to my radio (probably my IC-207h) and transmit my current location via APRS. All the data that it will send can be programmed through the serial port of my computer. I ordered this kit last night and it should be here by Wednesday. For more information on this please visit http://n1vg.net/opentracker/index.php
My next project will consist of putting my a wire antenna for 6 meters. The one I have is about 65 feet long and is about 3.5 wavelengths for the 6 meter band. One of the guys online that I found has used this antenna with great success so hopefully it will work well for me. I think I know how I am going to set it up but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'll make sure to take pictures of this one!
