Today I spent a little time at work finishing up the notch filter (hybrid lowpass filter from the W2JVN book). I put a fan on it to make sure nothing burns up while doing digital modes for example. I also built a holder for some W1W vacuum relays. I have run out of W2W relays so I ended up using these instead and will put two in parallel so that they will handle the current. Its for adding more capacitance to 160m in one of the amps that will get QRV on 160m now as well, so that we just don’t have one amplifier on that band. I will also replace the current relay which is used to connect the pad capacitor for 80m.
