K0WAV Scott : A Relay had a bad connection on the conrol board... cleaned off the conformal
K0WAV Scott : coating, added flux and solder and all was well.

K0WAV Scott : thats it for me BTU >>>
KX4AC Carl : Good evening all. Things are pretty quiet here. We had a nice Thanksgiving,

KX4AC Carl : year :-) I seem to have come down with a bit of a cold over the last couple
KX4AC Carl : of days, so I am pretty much just being lazy and resting. No fever, just a
KX4AC Carl : cough and a bit of congestion. That's about it from here.
KX4AC Carl : >>>
VA7RBP Rick : GE Bob and all on NET!
VA7RBP Rick : It's been a good couple of weeks. Glad to hear everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving!

VA7RBP Rick : Last week, Arlene got her knee replacement surgery date... Dec 22...
VA7RBP Rick : We will have to drive to Kelowna, 4 hours, and the passes are already getting heavy snow.
VA7RBP Rick : We'll have to stay for three nights, and drive home again on the 24th, just in time for Christmas.
VA7RBP Rick : Radio wise, it's been the usual 40M and 20M PACTOR, and band performance has been crappy...
VA7RBP Rick : Story about driers... we bought a house, and the appliances came with it. The first time we fired
VA7RBP Rick : up the dryer, it made a horrible screeming noise. I found that the main bearing in back of the
VA7RBP Rick : drum had worn completely through, and the drum had been rubbing against the side of the machine,
VA7RBP Rick : to the point where the metal side had a hole worn in it. Had to replace the dryer of course..
VA7RBP Rick : OK, that's all I have. So, BTU Bob >>>

KF5TVG Bob :
KF5TVG Bob : Still tinkering off and on with using meshtastic to collect info about a
KF5TVG Bob : repeater and sending it out over the mesh. Latest addition to the process is
KF5TVG Bob : using components from Sparkkfun that extends the I2C bus out across LAN cables. Handy if you need more than a foot or so of distance
KF5TVG Bob : to one or more of the sensors.
KF5TVG Bob :
KF5TVG Bob : That's all for now. BTU Bob>>>
