Once in a while I've been asked which tools I use for my hobby (both ham radio and model railroad).
On this page you find a list of tools I find use full.
I had a few QRP-labs lowpass filters and bandpass filters kits laying around and because I had nothing better to do this afternoon, I fired up the soldering station and assembled them. After that they need to be tested and tuned.
Due to the Corona (COVID-19) virus my employer asked us 2 weeks ago to work at home (when possible) to prevent spreading it. This would initially be until 6 April 2020, but I was expecting that it would be longer. So I had to setup a descent home-office.
Today I used a new theme on my website because the original one (Simplex) was responsive but the menu's where almost impossible to navigate on a mobile device.
I will look into that in the near future, but for now I switch to a more old-fashing (non bling bling) theme which atleast works on mobile devices.
While doing the dishes I listening to the Soldersmoke postcast #218 (one of my favourite hamradio podcasts). I heard Bill talk about his HI-Per-Mite CW filter in his uBitx and said that a ham in Belgium home brewed a HI-Per-Mite CW filter for his uBitx and shown the video on the blog. Curious about the video I look at the Soldersmoke website and found out that he meant me.
I may not from Belgium, but being linked on a blog / podcast which inspires me a lot, how cool is that?
My hosting provider has finished the most migrations to a new platform. After dumping the cache of this CMS and re-generate the pages (got 500 results), everything seems to work well.
For a few years I have been hunting to get a Yaesu FRG-7 (in a reassemble state and for a reassemble price) and because of the Wadley Loop system and the absolute great vintage design.
I have been staling it for many years, but this month it just has to happen. My hosting provider send me a e-mail that within a month they will be migrating there servers and due to a few platform updates (PHP, MySQL, etc) the (very old but stable) version of CMS isn't supported any more.
Today I took a few hours to do some re-organizing my website (dumped a few old pages and merged a few) and adding content about 3D printing and my 0 gauge to it.
A hamradio horror story about a interference problem a local OM Gerald PA3GEG had when his neighbor installed a big lot of non-certified LED tubes to save some money on his electric bill.
Hoe zonnepanelen een stoorzender kunnen zijn voor deuropeners, babyfoons, digitaleradio of tv, portofoons etc.
