Etsy has a maker that 3d prints a case for the kenwood d75. It looks great and has a lot of 5 star reviews. It is made from a tpu filament, flexible rubber like material. I am definitely going to pick one up. Take care! don

If I didn't have to tromp through the snow for part of the year I would love to put a "shack-in-the-back". But I would pretty much put outlets on every other stud. At least in the bench area.

The # of outlets is what they offered but I am beginning to agree with you.

Are you thinking of running some thicker DC wiring in the walls for 12v distribution before spray foaming? Maybe an 8 or 6 ga. bus? 🙂

Nice work Don. My doublet that I use now is 110' total from the info I gave you from DXE. Try to keep the coax 10' or less and use lmr 400 or something in the same quality. L ove it that you keep chugging along with the new place!

@don_n5skt 4 ай бұрын

I will get there with the length of the coax run but I have to find a place to lay it out and then determine how I far the ladder line needs to extend. I will likely add more ladder line when I find the length required. The ZS6BKW is not a doublet and so you can run coax to the shack. However, I was talking with some folks today who are going to help me get a shack built.

@skeeterk7trd158 4 ай бұрын

I built a Doublet years ago I found on Ham Universe . Not sure what it was designed after. I deployed it at 40 ft on a Rohn telescoping pole, worked really good. If I ever get the room to put one up I'll probably do it again.
