I'm very happy to announce that my ARDC grant proposal for helping to bring positive #hamradio experiences to young people has been accepted and fully funded!

There are a few hoops to jump through, a fiscal sponsor to arrange and over £30k of equipment to purchase so watch this space!

Old carpet vs new vinyl. Hopefully that will help with reducing the static buildup. #hamradio #homelab

After spending 3 months in my new office/lab, experiencing the afternoon sun shining through the window onto my main workstation screen, taking countless static shocks to the metal frame workbench due to the carpet and discovering that the aforementioned benches are at just below waist height when getting up from my IKEA Markus chair (also a HUGE static generator).....

I'm having a change around, taking the carpet out maybe applying a little soothing cream.

Looking good. Sockets, isolator and mains filter all in.
Lasers! Makes these jobs super easy.
Time to sort out this mess... #WorkshopBuild

Phew! No images today but I've moved a lot of stuff into some organised storage. Well worth doing and now I know where the rest of the workbench kit and tools are.

Day off tomorrow due to another appointment.

Workbench day 2. Starting off this morning by building some storage then filling it with the random junk that's scattered over the floor.
End of day 1. Lots more to fit in but it's a good start. I may reconfigure the power on the right so I can add a bit more pegboard.
