Very nice. Looks like 3 sets of guys?

Thanks for the info Greg. I wondered about guying. I'm still in the planning stages, so I'm at least a few months away from digging holes and pouring concrete. I may reference you again and see if you encountered any 'gotchas' or 'good-to-knows' along the way.

Your project using a roof mounted tower is exactly what I have in mind to do. I have a 17.5' and 8' Glen Martin (Carlson) towers. I'd also like to put a K4KIO hex on the 17.5'. What are your concrete base dimensions? What type of push-up mast do you have and where did you purchase?

IC-746 display repairs

Breathed new life into my aging IC-746. The display went dark and used bit.ly/4lqIVfh for repair details. #amateurradio #icom #cw

I love mine. My dad gave it to me before he passed.

The write-up was from a year ago. I don't have details on what he has changed for today's launch.

Here is the ham's write-up in a recent blog that gives some details. yso.blue/blog/posts/2...

Playing with this Quantum SDR pan adapter on loan. I can see it would be easy to get stuck on these. #AmateurRadio #qrp

In the ham shack today troubleshooting a Corsair CX650M computer power supply for an intermittent power problem. #AmateurRadio #computer #electronics

I'm guessing from this post. That's how I found you.

While chasing US counties on 40m CW this afternoon, I worked Kelly N4DXN in Portland TN. He had a great signal from his Viking Adventurer, a rockbound 50w transmitter that came out in the early 50's. #boatchanchor #AmateurRadio

Nice. My sound card and camera both appear to be working, although that's not important to me either. Looking for ways to incorporate this with a WSPR or APRS setup perhaps.

Yep, there's no end to troubleshooting finicky monitor problems. I just finished working on a Raspberry Pi3 that had no video. I reinstalled the OS and all is good.

Good know. I have an old RPi I need to get back in service, preferably put it back in use in the shack somewhere as well. Have been shopping for a new Pi 5 but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

$5 fix. Repaired an aging Dell monitor with random black screen problem by replacing four C5707 NPN transistors. www.instructables.com/Dell-E172FPb.... This will make a nice, smallish 2nd monitor in my space-limited shack. #AmateurRadio

Repurposed two discarded Apple iMacs in the last week by installing Linux Mint. Looking for others out there who have integrated Apple hardware and Linux and used it in their hamshack. #AmateurRadio
