Next day: W7EW in Oregon working Europe on 6m and accidentally hitting China off the side of his beam. That is a serious station.

It's almost midnight, I wonder if who's on 6 metres? The entire population of Japan, it seems.

Do you have a Skådis board, a specific make and model of electric screwdriver, and a 3D printer? If so, this is your lucky day.

Inching closer to an initial release of this project (RF Deck). Incorporating changes after some field testing a couple of weeks ago.

The onboard GPS antenna is an issue, it’s pointed out the back of the device, which will often mean it’s pointed down at an angle. Flipping it over means it will look directly at the metal case of the touchscreen. Best option is a smaller GPS board which can point up, or a separate embedded antenna. For now I am using an external GPS antenna which can be magnetically attached to the top of the enclosure (see embedded magnet near fan).

It's the weekend, somehow.

Anyone working on fun projects?

I have fresh polymers, a pile of aluminium extrusion, and a fistful of vague ideas.

Some weekend progress on my quick* Pi5 radio terminal project. I've since added a GPS HAT, to provide accurate time for digital modes & real-time grid determination.

* About a week, +/- six weeks.

Radio folk: here's something I just learned. Sporadic E propagation sometimes opens up at night. Noticed some reports from AZ last night around 11PM for my 50 MHz FT8 test transmissions. Turns out this is or was an interesting research area.

Doing a bit of a deep dive into 3D printing engineering filaments this weekend. Nylon + CF is a great all-rounder, it seems. Perhaps like how 6061 Aluminium is for metal fabrication.

Playing with a Raspberry Pi 5, 4MB RAM. It’s been a few years since I looked at the Pi — my old one is a v2. These have come a very long way.

Reorganizing my home office & added a new switch to provide PoE and SFP. The latter is for steaming I/Q samples from mast-mounted SDRs for local processing. POE is for desktop IP phone (SPA525G) & SBC hacking.

Quite happy with this low-cost Linksys so far. 1990s me with a 10BASE2 net connected to a dial up modem would be astonished.
