just a little page where i note my thoughts for now. created in vim.
oct 8 2024:
- Set up for hurricane stream experiment.
- Piped 7300 and 746 to mixer via separate channels
- Set up Streamlabs layouts - I think they'll work okay?
- Found some good pages for weather maps/info
- Received a couple of ISS SSTV pics. One really good pass, 3 marginal ones.
oct 6 2024:
- hamfest! went to BARCfest. good grabs.
- astatic d104! woo! finally. it's an amplified one, though not a stock amp. Had an AmazonBasics 9v in there. Clean. Chrome is mildly pitted but still looks pretty.
- big stack of 144/432 transverters and some 432 and 1296 preamps.
- nice pair of motorola FRS radios - ordered fresh batteries.
- kenwood tr-7400a 2m rig. Going to make a CTCSS encoder for it i think.
- two large Palomar power/swr meters
- a spotless Hytera MD-380 DMR handheld - this is a good backup! (already have a md380)
- cool kenwood SW-2000 power/swr meter, illuminated, with remote sensors! Came with one HF and one VHF/UHF sensor.
- Garmin GPS III Plus - old skool. Runs great. Used it on the way home. 0.1mph resolution!
- repinned the D104 to 8pin icom, ran the 746 for a while and made some contacts. Checked into the 100 Watts and a Wire net (6pm Sundays Mountain) and got great signal reports.
- researched building a CTCSS encoder for the 7400a (and maybe some other rigs). Found this cool idea. And i have attiny85s in the box! Need 8mhz crystals though but i bet i can scare one up out of the junkbox; failing that, aliexpress will provide.
