A “Cent“ construction video - March 2025
The YouTube video was made by Jordan VK3ACU, who is situated in Victoria and covers his building of the project and its subsequent testing. Jordan presented a very clean compact version of the build and then put it through its paces. With his test set up it was easily heard using a remote SDR in Perth Western Australia, this would have been a distance of about 3000 Kilo Metres. He followed up showing a live CW contact approximately 700 Kilo Metres away in New South Wales.
This is only a short video, it is well produced and narrated and well worth the eight minutes to watch.
