Once again we had a very successful "Lippeklap" Net yesterday afternoon despite the very intermittent Internet connections many experienced due to power outages etc. None the less 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!!
As stated previously we discussed the following two topics:
- DIY End Fed Halve Wave Dipole Antenna
- Get started with the Raspberry Pi computer
As promised here is the links of the above topics:
- Building the ZS6U Mini Shack Special aka End Fed Halve Wave Dipole Antenna
- Build an End-Fed Half-Wave Antenna
- Manual impedance transformer for 250 watts End Fed Antenna’s
- End-Fed Half-Wave Antenna Kit
- How to install the Debian OS (Bullseye) on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model Bsingle board computer
As stated yesterday I also used the measurements of "The ZS6U Minishack Special" available in the January 1973 issue of Radio ZS as well as "The ZS6U Mini Special is again revisited" available in the April 1994 issue of Radio ZS. Both these articles can be downloaded from the SARL Members Website.
The following images were posted on the Amateur Radio 101 Telegram Group pertaining to two topic that were discussed.
