It isn&#8217;t finished quite yet, but I have tested the function of the system and the components work.  When I finish antenna installation and start making contacts I can begin measuring the effectiveness of the setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"167\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/stickelman.net\/index.php\/2019\/06\/23\/solar-ham-radio-spring-2019\/img_0675\/\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-158x210.jpg 158w, http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-1960x2613.jpg 1960w, http:\/\/stickelman.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0675-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Electronics closet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For 6 months I have been slowly gathering the items I need to make this project work.
