Hi all -?

After a fun weekend working the 13 Colonies (clean sweep on HB sBitX- I think I win that section of the contest!) - I am turning to the final bits and bobs of the build, the SWR bridge and the RTC.? I build the directional coupler today.? ?I ran in to trouble trying to compile the swr_bridge.ino for the ATTYiny85.? I initially couldn't find the correct board manager.? ?If interested I posted the answer on the swr_bridge.ino thread.

I should have the SWR bridge working tomorrow.? The RTCs arrive tomorrow and that *should* also be straight forward.??

I've ordered a couple of wood project boxes from Bezos and plan to shield with copper tape, N2CQR style - thanks Bill.

Socketry is the worst part of a homebrew project!

Here is the directional coupler.? I'm getting good at building these - I led a Vienna Wireless Society Makers group project in a stand-alone swr/watt meter project a few months ago - using essentially the same bridge circuit with my own AtTiny code.

Congratulations on getting a clean sweep in 13 Colonies and you should get some kind of extra points award for working it with the home brew sBitx.

Fantastic work!
