Both Auto Brake winches are replaced

 Today I replaced the lift winch on my Versa Tower. So now both of them are replaced with Fulton Auto Brake 2500 lbs winches. It worked OK. The work to put it all together was under 1 hr. One problem I found was that I had to thread one hole with an M10. But otherwise no issues.






And I have put hoods over each winch to keep some rain out.

CU!

Long Time No See!

 Well, I'm still alive and up and kicking! But I've been occupied with a lot of stuff. I have received two shot's of Covid-19 Pfizer Biontech Comirnaty vaccin. So I'm supposed to have some protection from the virus. And I have had no side affects at all.

I have finished the restoration of the SR-400. And it works just fine.

I have also got an more than 20 years old riding lawn mower. It is a Craftsman LT1000. Works just fine after some repairs.

And I have replaced the Tilt Winch on my Versa Tower. I installed a Fulton 2500 lbs winch with auto brake.

So you see  that I have been busy as hell!

New Prodject on the bench

 I have a SR-400 and PS-500A and a HA-20 that will be restored. Have to recapp al units and perform a full set up of receiver and transmitter. RX is almost similar to SR-2000. It will be fun in these Covid-19 times. And hopefully I will get a shot in the arm quite soon!!??

Wx here in Sweden is around freezing and some snow on the ground. 

HNY to all of you readers and keep safe!

We are now going to the light??!!

 Well! The sun has reached the low point of winter and is now turning back to some brighter times! But it will take a few weeks before we can see any change.

The restoration of the Hallicrafters SR-2000 and Ha-20 is done. The power supply (P-2000) is heavy. It has the same wight as my ACOM 2000A! You don't run around with it. But the line is working fine. And the equipment has been shipped back to the owner.

Next prodject will be a couple of SR-400. That will be exciting.

Best X-Mas and a HNY to all of you readers. Se you next year!

Some new QSL received!

Yes! Finally I received the QSL from TI9A. New band slot was 80 m! Thanks for the card. I also received QSL from J79WTA. Worked him on 160. Both of these QSO's was confirmed via LoTW. Had some problems with my K9AY receiving antenna. Dismanteled it and checked the relays in the switch box. And I couldent find any fault with it. Had some problemm in NW directiom but after putting it back together it worked just fine???!!! OK, I did some resoldering but no obvious cause of the fault. Checked the relay's and they where just fine. I will try it out in the eavning. New blog. Have not find out how to add pictures!! Well I managed to add some Pictures. But I must say that it was easier in the old blog!!!
