I got my amateur radio license in 2017. My call sign is LB8NH. If you have not have contact with me it is because I have not been a very active amateur. In 2018 I bought a Kenwood TS820 on a junk auction. The transceiver worked when I fist tested it but after a few days it started to go inn and out. For a long time it was just collecting dust on my bench as I was to busy with other things. Becoming a father for the fist time to mention one thing. Highly recomended, but time consuming. Eventually I decided I wanted to make it work so I could use it this summer. Luckily full schematics and good documentation are available. I traced the error to missing VFO and VCO, but I could not find the cause. A fellow amateur suggested that I clean all the internal connectors with cleaning spray for electronics. After I cleaned the contacts the transceiver came alive again and has been working stable ever since. Unfortunately it is rarely I find time to use it. At my home there is to much noise so I set up QTH at my family estate, which I only visits during vacations. The estate is remote so the noise levels are low. Here are som pictures of the QTH, the antenna and the shack.
