Details the construction of a **multiband vertical** antenna, specifically designed for stealth operation in a rented property, covering 80m, 60m, 40m, and 30m. The author, N3OX, leverages a 12m Spiderbeam telescoping fiberglass pole as the primary support, noting its sturdiness compared to typical fishing rods while remaining light enough for quick deployment and takedown. The radiating element is a 14 gauge Flex-Weave wire, attached to the pole's top with a rubber grommet, and fed by 27 bare 18 gauge radials spread across a 40-foot square backyard. N3OX describes the impedance matching solution, opting for custom-built L-networks over a remote tuner to enable fast bandswitching. Using an MFJ-259B and EZNEC modeling, base impedances were measured and component values calculated with G4FGQ's L_TUNER and SOLNOID_3 programs. The 80m coil is wound on a 3.5-inch PVC form, while the 30m, 40m, and 60m coils are air-wound, self-supporting #10 wire. Variable capacitors are incorporated for 40m and 30m shunt elements, with the 60m impedance matched by a series inductor. The project includes a **servo-controlled** homebrew band switch, utilizing a two-pole 12-position ceramic wafer switch for remote operation, addressing the limited 80m bandwidth. The entire matching network is housed in a weather-resistant shelter constructed from lumber and aluminum flashing. N3OX reports good DX results at 100W, estimating the total cost between $150 and $250, depending on existing parts.

Demonstrates BBLogger, a **freeware** logging application designed for both amateur radio operators and Short Wave Listeners (SWLs). Developed by IK2VIW, IZ2BKT, and IK2UVR, this software provides comprehensive station management capabilities, including **CAT control** for various transceivers, integration with digital mode software like WSJT-X, JTDX, and MSHV, and robust QSL management features. The application supports a wide array of functions such as DX cluster interfacing, mapping, awards tracking (including custom awards), and direct integration with services like LoTW, eQSL.cc, and ClubLog for QSL confirmations and OQRS requests. It also includes utilities for ADIF to CSV conversion and vice-versa, catering to diverse logging and data management needs. Recent updates, such as version 13.1, introduce a web server for log management from any device, allowing remote access and control. The software has improved ADIF import capabilities, including time settings for duplicate QSO detection, and enhanced filtering options for log searches. Performance improvements include faster automatic updates and manager database synchronization, along with optimized log checking at startup. Earlier versions added support for FT8 and FT4 modes, refined OQRS integration with ClubLog, and expanded QSL/label printing functionalities, enabling users to select specific callsign types (OM, SWL) for printing. The developers emphasize compatibility with Windows 10/11 for full functionality, noting limitations when running on older operating systems like Windows 7 due to modern security protocol requirements.

One specific challenge in the KazShack, operating Single Operator Two Radios (SO2R), involved sharing a K9AY receive antenna between two transceivers without direct RF connection or manual feedline swapping. The solution, detailed in this project, adapts the **W3LPL RX bandpass filter** design to split 160m and 80m signals, feeding them to separate radio inputs while maintaining isolation. This approach also addresses the issue of strong broadcast band interference from a nearby 50KW WPTF transmitter on 680kc. The construction utilizes T-50-3 toroids and NP0 ceramic capacitors, built in a "dead bug" style on copper clad board. Each band's filter coils are identical and resonated to the desired frequency using an MFJ-259 antenna analyzer. A single DPDT relay, controlled by a remote toggle switch mounted on an aluminum panel, facilitates quick band switching between radios, simplifying low-band operations. While some signal loss is noted, the expected lower noise levels from the receive antenna are anticipated to compensate, potentially reducing the need for constant volume adjustments during toggling between transmit and receive antennas.

Controlling amateur radio transceivers remotely often requires dedicated software to interface with the radio's CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) system. CATSPAW is a software utility specifically developed by N2OHZ for the Yaesu FT-100, facilitating computer-based control over various radio functions. The software provides an interface for adjusting parameters such as frequency, mode, and other operational settings, which can be particularly useful for remote station operation or automated tasks. While the specific features and user interface details are not extensively documented on the download page, the primary function centers on providing a digital control layer for the _FT-100_. This allows operators to integrate the transceiver into a larger station setup that might include logging programs or digital mode applications, enhancing the overall operational flexibility. The utility's design focuses on direct control, leveraging the radio's internal command set. As a downloadable executable, _CATSPAW_ represents a common approach to radio control software from its era, offering a direct link between a personal computer and a specific transceiver model.

Kenwood TS-590S remote control software

Hidden transmitter hunting, often called fox hunting or Amateur Radio Direction Finding (_ARDF_), presents a unique challenge for radio amateurs. This resource details the _PicCon_ controller, a specialized device designed to automate the transmission of signals for such events. It integrates with a standard radio transceiver, functioning similarly to a packet radio TNC, by controlling the Push-To-Talk (PTT) line and injecting audio tones or modulated CW Morse code into the microphone input. The _PicCon_ unit is field-programmable using DTMF tones received via the radio, storing all settings in EEPROM for power-off retention. Its compact design and low power consumption (a few milliamps from a 7-35VDC source) make it suitable for remote deployment. An onboard LED indicates operational status, and a push-button allows manual start/stop of transmissions without DTMF. Typically supplied as a kit, _PicCon_ includes a PCB, components, and a comprehensive manual (available in HTML, RTF, and PDF formats). The kit provides a six-conductor interface cable, but users must supply radio and power plugs due to varied configurations. Byon, _N6BG_, developed this controller, which is available from the Byonics website.

Demonstrates how to construct an automatic band decoder, moving beyond manual selector switches for antenna and filter control. It addresses the challenge of varying band data outputs from different transceivers: Icom rigs provide voltage values, Yaesu rigs use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), and Kenwood rigs lack direct band data output. The resource highlights a clever solution utilizing logging software like _CT (K1EA)_ and _DX4WIN_ to emulate Yaesu's BCD output via a PC's printer port, making the decoder compatible with any rig. The author details experiences building decoders based on designs by Bob _K6XX_ and Guy _ON4AOI_, noting K6XX's simple TTL chip design and ON4AOI's more comprehensive, opto-isolated unit capable of controlling ten outputs and bandpass filters like the _Dunestar_. It also references a _W9XT_ board design, which Steve Wilson, G3VMW, modified with BD140 transistors for source drivers, emphasizing safety. The author successfully cased an ON4AOI-based decoder in an old modem case, connecting it to an FT1000MP or a PC printer port to drive remote relays and a Dunestar Band Pass Filter.
