Mostly electronics and all sorts of synthesizer, he/him.
Klara on 90.4 only a few dB from Wrotham.
GOOD BAD GOOD BAD. Hey we have 32kib of EPROM, we don’t need to avoid duplication in our strings table…
Windows thinks the JDK will harm it.
Of course I need a new Ghidra plugin to disassemble 6303x, of course I need a new Ghidra to use the plugin. Of COURSE I need a new JDK to run the new Ghidra. The computer that I bought in the big Tesco in Slough for £400 in 2010 is struggling with all this newness.
Radio conditions are a bit lively at VHF. This thing on 95.7 is nearly as strong as Capital on 95.8. They've got to within 5dB of each other a few times.
The GPIB works but I've been unable to find the manual online so I don't know most of the commands. The service manual is online and this covers the calibration commands but not the others. KO4BB has it but was broken when I tried earlier, so the download wouldn't start.
The other rally test equipment purchase was a BlackStar 4503 intelligent multimeter. It's not a particularly high performance meter but it has loads of features and a big display, which is the main attraction for me. Needed some memory battery leakage related repairs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/synx508/55222264129

I've fallen down a rabbit mine full of telephone-related facts and discovered that the Yellow Pages ad with J. R. Hartley ran for 13 years. If Mr H had called YP on a Nokia N-Gage the ad would still have been on TV when the iPhone 7 came out. The odd thing is that 10 years later, iPhones and smart phones generally don't look dramatically different.
