April

SteppIR
arrived from Fluid Motion ahead of schedule (had expected
four week's shipping time... see shipping
diary).
March

Finally
made the decision to get a new HF antenna. Today I ordered
a new SteppIR 3-element plus 40M/30M
dipole.
A month or so of waiting begins.

Yaesu updated the FT-2000 EDSP
software to v11.39, making an important engineering change.
Made a noticeable difference in the DSP digital noise reduction.
I have new stand-alone pages for my 40M
wire vertical array and 40M half-square
array changes (the verticals have been taken down because
they really messed up the half-square
pattern to the U.S.)

Yaesu made 2009 a very happy new
year for FT-2000 owners with the Performance Enhancement
Program firmware
update v.142. The EDSP software was updated to v11.29.
Turns this great radio into a stellar radio.

Updated information about the antennas
currently in use here at VA7ST. Includes notes about
coax chokes, the Mosley Classic-33 and 20M SWR bandwidth
tweaking. Also added all-new terrain analysis for this QTH
-- some pretty dramatic advantages
for a short-tower operator!
