AziLoop.

For a few days now, I have been testing the small AziLoop electronics, still with short wires and without a pole, to learn how it works. The server in the small ‘Common Interface Unit (CIU)’ – i.e. the interface that sends the control signals to the antenna box and receives the antenna signal – is equipped with a small, independent and very economical server. This server connects to my shack 75 km away, runs extremely stable and is accessible within a second. I have already colour-coordinated the client interface to match my Jaguar software. So far, the test has been without any problems.

Peru!

On 17 and 18 May 2025, the best Peru signals in many, many months or even years could be heard here in Salzburg. I have not yet heard and verified many things, and there are also some stations for which I have not yet heard an ID – 1040, 1060, 1110, 1120 and 1320. If you listen carefully, you will be busy for a long time with the recordings from these two days. Moments like these make the effort of having your own remote DX station worthwhile.

Antenna Safe Disconnect.

The little life insurance for the receiver. The Antenna Safe Disconnect switch from Jan Šustr QRO.cz. It is connected between the antenna and receiver (suitable adapters are also available from Jan if you are not using SMA connectors) and then switches the antenna to earth via 12 V when not in use. For 70 euros, this is a very sensible purchase to prevent static charging and discharging from the antenna to the receiver.
