FlightBox Mk 2 ready for assembly, with the USB cables finalised.

Since I couldn't find cables that would fit in the rather cramped space I had to solder my own.

After all these years of tinkering I finally own a Biegelehre! ☝️

99 Eurocents well invested.

Up until now I just formed them Pi mal Daumen (rule of thumb) with pliers.

FlightBox Mk. 2, interface circuit, third approach. Stripboard will be painted black before assembly, to match the Zero's case.

After more than a year (and so many other things happening in the interim), I tried tuning up 20m on the #RTLSDRv3 with #cubicsdr. Turned on Q-branch direct sampling and was able to pick up the tail end of (one side of) separate QSOs by N0LOT and AA5RN.

Looking at my notes, my attic dipole is a bit long for 40m at 405 inches per leg.

Thanks to @Dubby, at least I can get on http://n8mdp.dyndns.org:8904/ and see what sort of things I should be seeing from the #RTLSDRv3 here.

I need to spin up Linux and try that, maybe #cubicSDR is not playing nice.
