Kind of weird. While the capacitor tester I got matches the merchant's photo, the box doesn't match the tester. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Don't you love when it's time for the antennas to all come into bloom? :3

In all seriousness, it's awesome to be back on the airwaves after all this time, and 2-meter is a great place to start! 👍

The cables are good! :D

Finally done making these things.  I had no trouble getting all of the center conductors' strands into the SMA pins this time. 👍

(It only took so long because of the courier. I hate online shopping now. >:( )

. @clover got me this nice tool chest for Christmas and I just finished putting some polyurethane casters on it. :D

Made my first SMA cables today. It was pretty challenging because they are so small and it was my first time making them. I hope I didn't mess up. :( #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

. @clover and I made a delicious rib roast for #Thanksgiving because I don't like turkey very much. (She likes it more than I do so I got her a slab of turkey breast from a local supermarket.) #cooking

Speaking of 1.25m, check out what just showed up yesterday. :O

I've never seen TNC connectors in person before. :P

50W 1.25m transverter from Q5 Signal and Down East Microwave. It accepts a 10m signal and upconverts it to 1.25m.
