Skunk Works

Another Workshop Project Completed

As much as I enjoy spending time in my workshop working on one of my latest projects, when one of those projects comes together, I enjoy the satisfaction I get out of passing final inspection of it, and looking forward to seeing it in operation.

In this case, its my latest creation in the form of a takedown MLA (magnetic loop antenna) used in amateur radio that you see here in its takedown form being checked out by yours truly.

I'll soon have it out in the field where I'll have the MLA connected to my manpack equipped with my Yaesu FT-897D transceiver, and with them connected up and the bands open, distant contacts on far horizons will be made.

Its good to have confidence in one's self!
