Hi hi, yes you are right, I was having a nice chat with VK5CZ. I think it's the 4th time I've QSO'ed with him on JS8 with my QDX at 5W to OCFD antenna. He uses 50W and a simple dipole at his end. Well... you prompting me with a JS8 mail was certainly a novel way to prod the moderator to do his group approvals!?
used to send a notification email whenever any moderator approval was needed. Seems to have stopped! What changed? Now no moderation happens unless I got into the group on the web and do the approvals there. I have now set myself a reminder to do this every morning.?
It does appear that the text and photos for L12 are not consistent and i should fix this discrepancy. However - it isn't going to make any difference which way the winding goes, as long as it is all the same way. And a half turn or a whole turn also isn't going to make much difference. So I just wouldn't worry about it.?

My QDX V3a is more or less working. I need to adjust L12 to resonate at the correct frequencies. I have already wielded the knife on C41. but am still suffering from poor gain.
Is it true that the construction details for L12 show (Step 1) the coil being wound in the opposite direction to those in the photo (Step 7 ) for the rev 3/3a board? Also that adjusting for? this moves half a turn from one end of the coil to the other end??? Or could you lose a full turn ??? - Discuss.
?(document version 1.12 published 02-Aug-2022) See 2.9 Prepare and install tapped inductor L12. (Look at the way the wires START and FINISH leave the inductor.)
