I needed another WiFi adapter for a computer at work. I had several old USB WiFi adapters laying around, and I thought I should try to make use of them, rather than buying something else. This lead me to try out an "AboCom Systems Inc [WN2001 Prolink Wireless-N Nano Adapter …
After watching TRX Bench on Youtube, I learned how to make a balun. I am still a bit fuzzy on all the technical terms, but it is to convert an unbalanced load to a balanced one, hence BAL-anced to UN-balenced.

It's been nice playing around with my brother's TS-520, but I'd like to pick up a radio of my own. I was able to get a TS-820 from a local HAM who was able to help me out with not only a good deal, but extra microphones, an external VFO …

As I begin branching out in the amateur radio world, I came to realize that I needed some form of log to capture my contacts. Of course, I found several log books available on Amazon and the like, but as this is a side hobby, I would like to cut …
Previously, I had decided to ditch Google apps, including Google Photos. That meant that I needed a new photo backup solution, of which I have written several articles on this blog. The main portion of the server was Piwigo, a photo viewing/sharing/organizing server that you can view from …
Well, I guess I got a little board after finishing my last project. Usually I move right into some other project, but at the moment, I am lacking inspiration on what to do next. So, in the meantime, I decided to work on my low poly skills, namely, the art …
