Chris and I have just returned from Perth (with 22 others on the Qantas flight) and therefore we are now in self-quarantine. Day 3 of 14!
I've never worked so hard, it's amazing what you can do from home. Tomorrow maybe a day off and we might even spend some time in the shack, we will see.
Cheers for now.

Mag-Loop Controller - Part 1
I now think I have too many projects on the go! I've just started on an Automatic Mag-Loop Controller. Loftur (TF3LJ / VE2LJX) has done some amazing work, in developing a stepper motor controller that can take SWR readings from the antenna, along with frequency readings from the radio (via CAT port) and also stored memory data and tune the Loop, almost as fast as your ability to QSY.
It is a fairly elaborate project so may take a little time to get all the pieces working together. But we've made a start!
Loftur demonstrates his unit in this video below.
