Once again we had a very successful "Lippeklap" Net yesterday afternoon despite the very intermittent Internet connections many experienced due to power outages etc. The "show" must go on. A big thank you to all those that participated in the "Lippeklap" Net this past Sunday afternoon. You make the Net!!
We discussed the following two topics:
- Slim Jim 2 Meter Antenna by F.C. Judd G2BCX
- Ring-rigstraler vir Satelliet Kommunikasie deur Christie ZS4CGR
As promised here is the PDF files of the above topics:
- Slim Jim Antenna (PDF) Source Practical Wireless 1980
- Ring-Rigstraler vir Satelliet Kommunikasie (PDF) Source Radio ZS February 2018
This is not the only PDF files you can download for free. Chris ZS1FC provided one of the best PDF publications for radio amateurs. The publication is called "Out of Thin Air - Practical Wireless" A guide to aerial theory, design and propagation published in 1980. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Chris for sharing this PDF publication with us. I am sure that there are many radio amateurs that will find this publication useful and interesting. This is a Gem out of the past that must have a place in every shack.
