KiwiSDR

 This KiwiSDR lives at Tall Pines Cabin, a dry cabin (no plumbing) tucked into a red pine forest in northeastern Wisconsin. (@tallpinescabin on Instagram) Recently acquired a fiber internet connection, so now 3 channels are available.

Antenna: 40m / 7mhz (138 ft) 3-sided horizontal loop at 34 ft (10.3m) AGL. Fed from Palomar Engineers 4:1 Balun w/ 1:1 CMC combo. There are plans to do a larger loop or add another antenna in the future for lower bands.

From the antenna, 75 Ft of RG-8X to an Alpa-Delta GDT, then to a

Paradan antenna disconnect for lightning, then to a

DX Engineering "Receiver Guard" (RG5000HD) to protect against front end overloads.

This KiwiSDR2 is GPS disciplined, and is powered by a linear 5V power supply from Acopian, and uses a TP-Link WR-802N Wifi bridge to get signals back to the router. I’ve got mix 31 and 43 toroids on the ethernet connection to try and minimize noise pickup.

When multiple people are listening to the same net/frequency, please use the "Camp" feature to share one channel's audio: http://21040.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/?camp
