My antenna setup. A Hygain TH6-DXX on the bottom, Cushcraft 13 Element 2Mtr Yagi in the middle and a Diamond 2Mtr/70Cm on top.

I rebuilt the TH6-DXX last year (I'll post some pics of the rebuild later this week). It all sits on 62 feet of Rhon tilt-over tower. The Rotor is a Ham IV.

The section of pipe below the TH6 is for my wire antennas to hang. I have pulleys mounted on each end.

I have to rebuild my 6 Element 6Mtr Yagi that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. that will be a project for next spring.

Stay tuned for more pics.

FT232RL FTDI232 USB to TTL Serial Adapter Module for Arduino Mini Port 3.3V 5.5V

I bought this interesting device on Ebay that I hope will allow me to computer control my Kenwood TS-690S from HRD.

It cost a Whopping $3.83 with free shipping so if it doesn't work, then I am not out a lot of  money.

Now, my eyes are not as good as they used to be so I can't tell if the FT232RL chip is one of the counterfeit chips that are flooding the market but I'll know better after putting it under the microscope and look for a laser etched logo.

I'll post results when I try this out.

Wanted: Two 4 or more Position Antenna Switches

Hi folks,
I am in desperate need of two 4 or more position antenna switches to select which gear I plan on working.
I am very depressed with the prices for these devices on eBay! I believe that the prices are artificially inflated!
Or
Two Multi Position Single Pole 4 or more Throw Ceramic Rotary Switches so I can build my own. Must be capable of handling at least 200 Watts.
If you have what I need, please comment to this post.
Thanks es 73...
