Here's the tags pitched last year between me and @W6KME for #borednetmicroexpo so we can all find stuff before/during/after the event. My posts for people/tech tags should still com up. More suggestions with examples welcome.
Event: #MicroFieldDay #µFieldDay #µFD #PortableHamRadio #TheBOREDnet
People: #hammhammoment, #elmerthanks, #rememberingsk, #howistartedbout
Tech: #hamquestions #letsbuild (project ideas) #checkthisout #myprojects

Still working on getting experience with the work flow, but I used OnShape to design a simple gantry to hold the power and vacuum hose, and then cut my very first parts out of 1/2" plywood. Patchouli is impressed. I made a couple of minor mistakes, but the parts are a tight fit and usable. #cnc #onshape #myprojects

Progress on the CNC router has come at the expense of increase randomization in the shop. This morning's goal: a pointless battle against the inexorable forces of entropy. Wish me luck. #myprojects

First serious thing cut on the CNC: the strut plates for... THE CNC! Can skynet be very far away? #cnc #myprojects

Cut this little gear with a 1/8" spiral upcut out of some scrap acrylic from Tap Plastics. I still think I could tune the feed rates a bit better, but it looks pretty darned good. #cnc #myprojects

First actual cut using my DIY Lowrider CNC: my house numbers carved into some scrap Formular pink foam I had lying in the shop. What do you all think? #myprojects #cnc #diy

Okay, I have my Lowrider CNC beginning to function. I suspect I may have to do something to improve the flatness of the CNC table, but I'll keep progressing. I'm learning more about calibration in the mean time. #cnc #lowrider #myprojects

I’ll be bringing my PVC+foil tape loop antenna to the expo. Based on John Portune's (W6NBC) design. Inexpensive (20-30$?) way to get into an effective-ish loop antenna. Message me if you want a closer look, it's a bit bulky to just carry around the event .

Hey #borednetmicroexpo folks! I’m trying to come up with ways to make measuring tape Yagis more packable. Comments welcome! https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKP3l9ps=/?moveToWidget=3458764587058552637&cot=14 #myprojects
