Baby's first unun!
My #AmateurRadio journey continues with making some of my own equipment...
I wanted to be able to connect either an EFHW or an EFRW to my KX3, but move the actual antenna away from the radio, so that I can POTA with other people close enough to talk, while keeping the antennas for the different out of each others' near field so they don't interere. To …

you've heard of chemists in the 30's
are you prepared for chemists in the 1830's?

Maybe it wasn’t as fresh as the original #Connections, but I thought Connectin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo had some fly categories.

A while ago the media reported that most of the long-distance "suburban" trains between #Wrocław and #Poznań will be discontinued, and instead one will have to change trains midway. Irrespective of whether it's actually going to happen, let's consider it.
As you can probably tell by now, I'm not a stranger to changing trains. In fact, there are some direct connections that I do criticize. For example:
• Poznań — Szczecin — Świnoujście, where arriving at Szczecin Główny and turning back to leave the city is a waste of time. It's better to change trains at Szczecin Dąbie.
• Poznań — Krzyż — Kostrzyn, where instead of using a single railbus, you can use a larger EMU for the Poznań — Krzyż segment, and a smaller DMU for Krzyż — Kostrzyn (in fact, only recently the "direct" Poznań — Kostrzyn train involved just that, but it was supposed to be temporary).
However, good matches are the key. Say:
1. Max 10 minutes (when there are no delays) from one train to the other.
2. "Door-to-door" transfer — without having to carry all your luggage across platforms.
3. Reliable connection — if one train is delayed, the other train waits for it (or there are so many alternatives that it doesn't have to).
Can such a thing happen on Poznań — Wrocław route? I have my doubts.
I've been using these trains for years, and I can say this: there is no effort to match train from/to Poznań with other trains in Wrocław. Sometimes the trains depart 10 minutes before the first train from Poznań arrives, sometimes I need to transfer in 10 minutes, and sometimes I have to wait over an hour. And the same in the other direction.
Perhaps things would actually improve if the route is split. Perhaps people would actually care. Maybe even the trains would be fitted better to the timetable in Wrocław. But I find it hard to believe.
EDIT: One final thought — since there is no real reason to split these connections (except for profiteering), why make travellers' lives harder?

First crack at the SFP28 breakout/carrier module. Power and I2C are carried by the PicoBlade connector, high speed over the ARF6.
Single 4-40 mounting screw in the back for attaching to a standoff in the chassis, front side will be held by the front panel.
