		<title>Aerials  &#8211; Some thoughts and ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having recently moved to Morecambe (Good Move!!), I had my dreams of a 80 foot tower with a rotary HF beam popped as the garden is only 25 x 35 feet!!! MMM Back to plan B.  Which is wire aerials that i have used to good effect in the past.

The doublet works I found on all bands.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baluns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a recent project that I have carried out.  A simple balun

A balun using ferrite ring

A balun using ferrite rod
Baluns - you either swear at them or swear by them!
So what do they do?  They simply allow a balanced item like a centre fed dipole to be fed with an unbalanced system like coax [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Version of the FT-897 meter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently I upgraded my station to a FT897D, which like most rigs these days are fully menu controlled and can be operated via your PC.
To ensure that I can fully understand and operate the rig, I not only read the handbook (how many can say that!) as well as joined the yahoo FT897 group. Having [...]]]></description>

SHORTENED DIPOLE
The GM4JMU Shortened 7Mhz Dipole
When looking around for a 40m diople, found this and built it I can say it works even if short!  I got a good match with my MFJ analyser and on QRP, worked around Europe ok.  I also heard VK/ZL!  And only at 30 feet as an inv Vee so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elecraft K2 Internal 4:1 balun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whilst looking around at the various mods done to K2's I discovered the following balun.
It is a small efficient QRP balun designed some time ago by Charles Greene W1CG. see www.njqrp.org for further details, including full building instructions.
My K2 is setup on internal batteries with it's main goal to be a portable radio. As I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clansman PTT and Telephone handset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Military PTT and telephone handset
I have always been impressed with the quality of UK military equipment and recently decided to try a Clansman PTT circa 1980 as a PTT for my K2.
The idea being it would be a great portable PTT for using my K2 out and about, probably water proof and very tough!
Did the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dipole Centres</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we are essentially a portable group, we are constantly trying to improve our techniques and equipment.  We were thinking about how to improve the way we use wire aerials and out of this discussion, Frank g8bme came up with this solution.

The one on the left in the above photograph is designed for use with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elecraft K3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Building the Elecraft K3 is a joy.  The engineering design that has gone into the radio is amazing.  The tolerances of the case fittings are fantastic.  I have actually built three of these so far (only one for me unfortunately) and they were all straightforward to do.
I have had mine for just about a year [...]]]></description>
