Iceni 70cm Transverter from G4DDK - Part 3

I've finally started on finishing the Iceni transverter I've used the same case layout as the Anglian.

Front Panel

PA Heatsink

Rear Panel

Internal Layout

I've a bit more room inside the Iceni as I've used a Tohtsu CX-120A relay in place of the old Pye relay I had available for the Anglian which is a pity as the Pye was a nicer relay and had better isolation in comparison.  

Next up on the list is to start wiring it all up but least the hard bit is now done as I hate enclosure fabrication. 

I fitted a Kuhne QH30A heater to the Iceni' crystal so it'll need to be realigned but I'll wait until I've made up the LO inject cable and socket as the extra capacitance knock the frequency off by about a 100Hz.

A blast from the past my RSGB membership certificate.

I was tidying up the shack today and came across my original RSGB membership certificate dated the 1st of July 1983 a couple of days after my 12th birthday.

At the time I was very happy to receive my RS number 84784.

If my memory is correct I had to get a recommendation from a current member to join and amateur who lived across the road from me at the time filled the form out for me.

Amazingly it only took another 33 years to obtain my foundation licence and 34 years to gain the full licence, oh well better late than never. ;-)

My RSGB membership certificate issued when I twelve.
