Finally, after a short and sudden drop, Allah calling back my Claudia. She depart at 02.18 AM, April 3, 2008. Then we brought her back to our origin city, Cilacap, a place that she belong to.

She had medulloblastoma, a non-curable disease. 8,5 years taking care of her is very amazing and will be unforgettable. She left tons of memories for us.

Farewell My Angel. Allah promise us you will waiting for your parents on Heaven’s Gate. It’s just matter of time for us to join you. We all dreaming you, right now you’re playing in Allah Garden, a place where no more pain, headache, vomit, hungry, cry, The Sims 2, and every miserable things. You’re happy there.

Farewell, My Claudia. My Angel.

Finally, moving to new QTH at March 19, 2008. Moving to new place, I hope will also left my daughter disease at old QTH. Also will bring new spirit, new hope and new health. Sorry still not much to tell you, I’m still loose my energy, taking care my Claudia at home. She had suspect of meduloblastoma.

We already use (I think better word is “try”) local herbal that newly found can kick out her disease, not only a paliatic. I hope it can help my Claudia.

Today is Sunny Sunday afternoon. After some car cleaning (after been used for family vacs last week), I want to inform you a store that sell toroidal ferrite core. As you know, I’ve ever wrote short article about grass wire antenna (suggestion of John Harp KA3DPW). This antenna need a impedance transformer from 450-600 ? to 50 ? coax. And last night, coincidentally I found web site that can supply toroidal ferrite core for your need.

I found TSC International last night when browsing to find some antenna materials store. You can use this store as alternative place to buy when your main source is fail. I was not browsing more there, since it’s a US store and I will have problem on shipment cost and taxes or so. And also if you make some googling, you will find also some toroid store like toroid.com, toroidal.com, palomar-engineers.com, toroidtech.com and kitsandparts.com on 1st page SERP. All of those supplyers are located on US. I’m not checking the 2nd and more SERP pages.

And for winding details and technique, John KA3DPW suggest K9AY site to read more. As you know, Gary K9AY is a famous person from his several antenna designs. I think we can learn much from there.

(SERP=search engine results pages)

Happy experimenting. 73 de Riv YB3TD
