First test of the 4S Tuner - it works! Next step: assemble the case. It’s pretty cool: the whole thing is made out of PCB material. #hamradio #qrp

The 4S Tuner is complete! I put this together in spare moments over the past couple of days. All told, I think it took me about 90 minutes to assemble. Really love the design. Yeah, I’ll clean up those solder joints on the BNCs at some point. #hamradio

So, who’s doing Winter Field Day this weekend? I’m gonna go camp in the snow, on a summit, and see if I can make a few contacts. #winterfieldday #hamradio

OK, I just worked a pass of AO-91. I really need to work on my procedure! I definitely made at least one complete QSO. Possibly three. I'll review my recording and see how I can improve. #hamradio #satellites

Ok, total pack weight is only 42 lbs! Plus the snowshoes, which I’ll probably end up strapping to the outside around half way up. #hamradio #backpacking #WinterFieldDay

A little past halfway there. Cue Bon Jovi.

Phew! Just under 5 hours to cover 5.5mi! I’d estimated 3. Ha! Well, here I am on top of Little Round Top! #summitsontheair #hamradio #WinterFieldDay

Ok, camp is mostly set up and I’ve got an antenna in the air. Let’s WFD! #winterfieldday #summitsontheair #hamradio

One of the more tedious aspects of camping in the snow. Melting snow!

Headed back! It was breezy, but then someone switched off the wind and it feels like summer! Hot!

Agreed. Lab599 has a new slogan - "Made for Peace." Great opportunity for HRO to do the right thing here.

Want to save a massive amount of fuel nation-wide? Remove all stop signs. Convert most signaled intersections to roundabouts. Our road setup here in the US is horribly inefficient.

I like reading Morning Brew for keeping me up to date on all the various goings-on without a bunch of BS. link.morningbrew.com/click/28501558…

RIP Jerry KG6HQD. You were a big inspiration to me. And you invented a hell of speaker wire antenna.

This is sad. They’ve got two paid employees directing traffic at Costco. IN A ROUNDABOUT. The incompetence of a large number of drivers is just astounding.
