Was well attended and even though I made every effort to get there early the car park was full at 10.30. Purchases amounted to:
Panel meter - 50p
Twin gang 50 pf air spaced variable capacitor - 50p
Pye microphone - free to son
Filter board with 10.7MHz crystal filter on - free to son
MP3 player - free to son
Relay - free to son
10 m RG58U - £6 Moonraker
20 m centre/base loaded vertical and mag mount - £36 Sandpiper Aerials
WWII Morse key with case (australian) - £2
Roll of ribbon cable - free
So the GDO now has a decent Variable Capacitor and meter for £1!
HF (static) mobile is looking like a decent proposition, the build quality of the Sandpiper vertical is very good and hopefully tests will show a decent performance for a centre-loaded whip. Not 100% certain the magmount is particulalry strong but we will see!
Total = £45 pound
A good day
