[Waverley ARS] Maintenance Tuesday replacement report for WriklesTuesday

[Colin Marks]

Hi Alan and all:

Sounds like another profitable days' work on Tuesday.
It looks as if there may be some useful equipment ex-Nowra amateur. However - in the interests of good housekeeping - may I suggest that items which can not be used  - or usefully cannibalised or fixed - be discarded now rather than in two years time......!
Re the 10m tower - I have always hoped to see a tower at the Club. I see it as a basic requirement for a good functional Club. However I know that Eric (who understands the politics of the situation far better than I) sees problems in such a move.
Anyway - if some kind of sturdy tower - either ground or roof mounted - does ever emerge I repeat that I have a Cushcraft A3 3 el 3 bd Yagi in good condition available to donate to the Club. (This model is still marketed by Cushcraft).

  1 X Yeasu FC902DM HF Transeiver S/No OM160403 receiver seems to work OK but digital readout not working and TX unsure. Equipment refered to Henry for possible repair.
  1 X Yaesu FC902 500W Antenna Tunner  S/No OG120322  tested in good working order.
  1 X Kenwood SM220 Station Monitor S/No 920152 tested and found to be in good working order.
  1 X VK Powermaster power supply home brew and in dubious condition could not hold voltage under load.

  1 X Model 171 SWR meter

  1 X Radio Shack Radio FAX decoder
  1 X Audio Amplifer

  Various plugs sockets and miscellaneous parts.
  Jack also donated a large bag of power packs of various voltages and current ratings.

  Jack advises that the equipment has been donated on the basis that it is for club use and that the club arrange for the removal of a 10M tower. A few club members will travel to Nowra with Jack to disassemble the tower and bring back to Sydney.

  (B) Jack and Raffy to re-examine internet access through 2.4Ghz link between club and Raffy's place.
  No doubt Raffy will report on success or otherwise.
