Here are the toots from my Mastodon account. If you’re into ham radio and technology this is a great inclusive server with an awesome mascot called Alex.
Back from a great weekend at Telford for the GQRP buildathon and convention, and hamfest. The convention talks were excellent and the live Soldersmoke episode was really well done. They put the last 15 mins in the latest episode (206).
→ View toot on mastodon.radioActually did finish it and it works! SWR, Lat and Lon(!), Maidenhead coordinates and more. Really fun evening.
→ View toot on mastodon.radioAlmost finished building my “HF Swiss Army Knife” at the GQRP buildathon! Super fun!
Off to the GQRP club buildathon tonight and Telford HamFest tomorrow. Never been to either before so looking forward to both.
→ View toot on mastodon.radioTook two of these tiny diodes out of my Icom 706mkII to get access to 60m. It worked! Thought I had broken it, then I remembered to open the squelch and tweak the AMU. Nerve racking stuff! 😅🧐
I highly recommend signing up to Hot Iron magazine, at http://www.walfords.net/ordering.htm it’s free and full of info on homebrewed gear, tools and circuits. A bit like G-QRP’s SPRAT. That said, the last one was a 20 MB Word Doc 😂 (2 MB PDF)
