Tuesday, January 4, 2011. The HX Files 13. Hello and welcome to xtract 13 of the HX files. In this issue I would like to talk about the new mobile unit I am making . After operating /m for many a time I decided to make a new mobile unit, It was taking the fun out of setting up /p when I had to connect the tx unit to the amp, the monitor, and their dc leads, and having to disconnect the aerial and connect it to the rx . Out the parts took a few tries as I had to make sure the parts would be easy to get to...

Later on, I switched to t...

Thursday, December 4, 2014. The HX Files 029. Hello and welcome to Xtract 029 of the HX files. And now, time for something completely different. So in this issue of Echo Ireland I would like to write about some of my eclectic mix of “collectables”. Some of these items were bought because of their “rarity” and some because they are just plain weird; I will leave it up to you to decide which is which. That is it for this issue of Echo Ireland; in a forth coming newsletter I must mention some of the other m...

In this issue I would like to write about some of the templates that were made, and used, to help me in the layout of the parts in some of the projects constructed over the last few years. Like in any construction project you would layout the various parts to be used in the project to find out not only what goes were but were to drill, file and shape. Project parts and templates. Bird Watt meter parts.
