Ferdy HB9DSP's 5 band Moxon -- The Moxhorn!

 
Click on the image for a clearer view

Wow, I couldn't even build a 2 band Moxon, but Ferdy has built a 5 band version.  He told me that he had to tweak the elements a lot to get acceptable SWR's on all the bands.  20 and 17 are especially tough, because they are so close in frequency.  

More info on his great QRZ page: https://www.qrz.com/db/HB9DSP

Thanks Ferdy!

Andreas HB9BLA's Ideas on Building a Lab or Workshop

Lots of great ideas on workshop or lab design from Andreas, the guy with the Swiss accent.  Andreas is HB9BLA.  I liked all of this, especially his idea on books.   

A while back Andreas was interviewed by Eric Guth on QSO today: https://www.qsotoday.com/podcasts/hb9bla

Thank you Andreas!

Andreas Spiess (The Guy with Swiss Accent) -- Workshop Tips



Thanks to Paul Taylor VK3HN for alerting me to the YouTube channel of Andreas Spiess.  There are lots of great projects there, including several videos on building an Oscar 100 ground station.  

In the video above, Andreas talks about his lab/workshop.  He is more focused on digital projects than I am, but I found many of his tips applicable to the analog world. And of course the more digitally oriented readers will find Andreas's observations especially useful. 

I was sold on this video when Andreas reached to his book shelf and showed us Tracey Kidder's "Soul of the New Machine."   That is the book that brought the word "soul" into the SolderSmoke lexicon. 

There are many great videos on Andreas's channel.  I found his Playlists page to be a good way to see the many different catergories of his projects:

Thanks Andreas.
