Dear Listers,
Time has crept up on me and I have realised that the Europa Factory epoxy
paint that I received with my kit has technically expired - the component
tins are dated between 10/09 and 12/09. They've remained sealed and at
roomish temperature for the period and I understand that generally they are
good for about 6 months at least after the technical shelf life. However,
there is no hope whatsoever of me being ready to paint inside 18 months and
probably more like 48!!
So, the paint is going to waste and if anyone is ready to paint their Europa
and happy to collect or bear the shipping costs then they are welcome to the
paint kit.
Just let me know - preferably off list. If the offer seems popular then
I'll post back on list when the paint has been taken up by someone.

Not nearly enough in my opinion, remembering the Mannerheim Line.

Hi Richard,
May I take you up on your offer. As his inspector, I do so on behalf of a
builder who will be ready to paint quite soon.

Subject: Europa-List: Antenna tuning
I have just borrowed an SWR meter and am trying to tune my Comm antenna. T
he manual says to tune by shortening until minimum reading at 127.50 I am
getting Minimum reading at 133.00. My last two cuts of 3mm have not moved t
he minimum reading 1.5 at 133.00 above and below this frequency the reading
s are at 1.9 -1.9.
Do I keep shortening the antenna????Any ideas? Regards Dave Park G-LDVO
Dave,
All your answers so far are on the money - shorten > increase freq;,
lengthen > decrease freq.
When you complete the suggested graph, my bet is the freq with lowest SWR is
too high. That ain't all bad, as they say, because if the antenna is
embedded, to shorten it would mean digging out. However if the antenna is a
smidgen short a judicial drill into each end of the dipole will permit an
electrical screw to join the original embedded to external extended strips
which may be newly trimmed onto freq.
Good luck Ferg
PS: ...or you can contact the nearest Ham club - a lot of what they do these
days is design and refine their antennas

workshop and not in the way so ask him to get in contact and we can arrange
for him to pick it up etc at his leisure.

Richard,
Very many thanks for that. We will be coming down to Southampton in the
near future on our way to the Isle of Wight so would like to take the
opportunity to pick it up then.
My e mail address is pjeffers@talktalk.net so perhaps we could communicate
off line, re the details.
Again many thanks.
Pete

Hi Bud,
Are you still looking for additional takers? If so, I may be interested in
1 quart if it could be shipped to the UPS store in Odgenburg NY within 2
weeks (as I have something else to pick up there).
Many thanks,
Pete

| Subject: | Wheel Pant Recommendations |
Gidday,
I'm getting closer to being able to put my a/c on its Grove gear leg, with the
500 series wheels and brakes. Does anyone have any advice as to the better types
of wheel pants that look best for our beasts?? It is not a bad time to find
out before you bolt all the bits together, as there is a mounting bracket that
sits in behind the axle when bolted onto the leg.
