Firstly I would like to apologize to all the readers for leaving it so long. I do hope to get back to writing on this blog very soon. I have many experiments to post up here Some of these will be added to the various categories over the next few weeks.  There are some radio experiments that need to be posted up and also a new antenna experiment that’s been running for quite some time now. So watch this space for those updates.

Now I would like to share some statistics with you about how fantastic you have ALL been.

The blog has grown from strength to strength

New pages available …

The following pages are now available to read.

“Poor mans up convertor”

“My magnetic loop antenna”

Both of these articles can be found in the latest experiments menu at the top of the page.

I will write the “magnetic loop antenna modification” and update the “SDR software” page over the next few days and let you all know when they are available to read.

Simon

Blog Update …

I have just finished tweaking the mobile settings on this blog, This blog should now be friendly on cell phones ( all major brands apple, android & blackberry) and tablets. You can access it from the same link you use on your pc/ Mac / Linux machine or you can look on your app store for the “WordPress” app.

NOTE: Both WordPress app and browser app will give you the same appearance, So you can choose whichever method suits you.

Best Regards

Simon

New Updates …

“Yagi antennas” , “ham it up review” and the “compact HF antenna” are now available to read. I hope to be adding “poor man’s up convertor”, “my magnetic loop antenna” and possibly “Magnetic loop antenna modification” over the weekend. During the next week I hope to find time to update the “SDR Software” section to include the “SDR Console v2 beta” Software.

Best Regards

Simon

New Changes ….

As you can all see there are new pages being added to the site and lots of articles and new experiments to photograph and write-up over the next week or two.

I don’t have a lot of personal time to write these articles up at a rate of one page a day right now, But I will get the articles written up as soon as possible.

I hope you will all find these new articles as interesting as the other articles that have been on the site for a while. Please don’t forget to leave a post if you have any questions or comments on any articles.

Best Regards

Simon

Well … Hello everybody.

It has certainly been a while since my last post. I see many people have visited my blog over the months. What surprises me is that nobody from all those countries has anything to add or to comment about.

How would you all feel if this blog vanished tomorrow from lack of comments … How would you all feel .. knowing that you all had a chance to shape this blog and yet did not post anything to it.

I am sure you all have something to contribute to this blog. Leave your requests for topics to be covered. I am sure you have all enjoyed coming and seeing if there is any new content, And sharing the blog with your friends around the world. Lets hear from you all, If you think there is an error in the blog somewhere leave a comment so it can be corrected. Ask any questions about any of the topics you have read on this blog.

Remember this is not just my blog .. it’s our blog. It needs comments and new topics to live. If you don’t post things, then maybe this blog will vanish one day…

The fate of this blog is in the hands of its readers… if you don’t use it in the way it was intended then maybe it will quietly vanish one day while you sleep… it’s now up to all the readers of this blog .. to comment and breathe life into the blog pages.

Best regards

Simon
