Baby Zilla is about to take it’s place in it’s new home

Baby Zilla will be taking it’s place in it’s new home over the next week.

It will be up in my roofspace and ready to be cut loose on the HF bands. I have added a new feed loop made from RG213 coax in place of the wire loop you see in the photo above. It just needs some final tweaking and then it’s ready to go.

I can’t wait to try it out using my latest additions to the shack ! a couple of Heathkits, the old but favourite of mine HW-7 and the last model they sold the HW-9. I picked these up a couple of weeks ago, the HW-7 is working OK, it has a modified reciever and RIT, The HW-9 needs some attention but i have had some QSO’s with it on 80 mtrs. 10 mtrs is not working and it does need some other jobs doing before it is fully operational.

The box on top of the HW-9 is my home made BLT tuner, it is a great little ATU.
