Radios, Aerials & new ideas

Having not been here for some time I felt it was time to update this page. I have recently revived an old interest in Amateur Radio and have taken the Foundation Exam. I now have a call sign which is M3VDE. I felt this was appropriate as the (German) VDE is the organisation that is looked to for the lead in testing and certifying much of the equipment that I use on a daily basis.

Today I am trying to combine research into aerial tuners with some preparation for my carving class that I teach on a Wednesday. We are going to look at sharpening of tools and I want to create some aids that show why getting the correct grinding angle and then honing the tool is important.
