Here are the toots from my Mastodon account. If you’re into ham radio and technology this is a great inclusive server with an awesome mascot called Alex.

It's Alex! A soft brown mastodon holding a handheld radio in their right hand and carrying a blue bag over their shoulder

Took two of these tiny diodes out of my Icom 706mkII to get access to 60m. It worked! Thought I had broken it, then I remembered to open the squelch and tweak the AMU. Nerve racking stuff! 😅🧐

I highly recommend signing up to Hot Iron magazine, at http://www.walfords.net/ordering.htm it’s free and full of info on homebrewed gear, tools and circuits. A bit like G-QRP’s SPRAT. That said, the last one was a 20 MB Word Doc 😂 (2 MB PDF)
