GCC Sector 1 : Apartment Dwelling Mission


GCC Sector 1 "Smart" Apartment

Yes, the GCC is in a apartment now, which means I am on my own doing well. But there are things to
bring up. Mayfair Apartments is a good small apartment complex. And also the area is kinda ok, problem is that the refrigerator is too small for big loads of groceries. I even put in a microwave oven that grills and cooks food for DXing.

The shortwave radio reception in here is moderate to fair and longwave is fair to poor being on the first floor under another apartment building. So longwave reception is ok, but its possible best when used with a good loop antenna like a 64 turn with a good wide range variable tuning capacitor like a 14 to 365 pF type. Living in a apartment
for a year or more will give GCC engineering the best opportunity to engineering and solve the
the most worse RF problems with apartment and condo dwelling DXing everyday. Also the GCC
will be networked with 2 computers, one in the kitchen just in case of me cooking and surfing the net at the same time and never burn up anything while making something. Also I will have one in
the bedroom which will be a main one and possibly a laptop in the living room. I am trying to get
moved in here with things still need to be put away. Also am trying to get the Star Roamer fixed
as best as I can for now. There is a chance that I will be installing some antennas and gear outside. Soon I will provide pics of the apartment as soon as possible.
