I bought #HamRadio. However, the insert style that came with them is only for RG58 and RG59. So I pulled out

Model of insert for coax stripping tool, standing on end, with wide triangular cutouts to cradle wire being stripped.

Am I the only one who foresees the future #AI business model as enshittified ad-infused LLMs? Once LLMs are ingrained in every class and board room, you‘ll suddenly have to pay big bucks while the free plans will be riddled with ads. It‘ll be like that #BlackMirror episode where the teacher spews comme…

Yesterday, 2/3 of Dutch parliament voted for laws designed by Wilders' PVV to make life for refugees and other asylum seekers in the Netherlands even more miserable. Even giving support (food, shelter) to 'illegal aliens' would become a criminal offence. nos.nl/l/2573574

I can't believe how great #KPopDemonHunters is! Great animation, but this one is of course full of pop music: the first act has not one but two catchy songs and stylish music videos with barely a moment to catch a breath.
Rhyming "mascara" with "napalm era"? Duuuuude.
And then there's my favourite: "mirror mirror on the phone" 😁

Today, I re-printed the first two things I ever designed for #3DPrinting nine years ago and change. When the pen clips for our kitchen whiteboard broke back in 2016, right after I bought my first printer, I made replacements.

Final episode of #Andor's 2nd season was the one I liked most. That droid looks amazing and is the comic relief that I needed. There's also a feeling that the clock is running out. This is something the season has lacked in my opinion. Every other episode starts with "One Year Later"...
VFX were consistently great except for some reason I didn't like the corn field plane…

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 …

Partially-assembled unun. A nut on the upper right is connected to the coax shield, and is connected to a brass screw on the right for a counterpoise connection. A blue 100pf capacitor is in the upper left of a purple 3d-printed box, connected between ground and the center terminal of the input. At the bottom, the 6th turn is tapped and run to another brass screw which provides the 9:1 random wire connection. A strand of red magnet wire goes up to the upper left over the blue capacitor; it conn…
The internals of the unun with kapton tape covering the torroid, and the 49:1 antenna connection brass screw in the lid at the upper left.
The assembled unun with two wires attached. At the top is a wire next to a ground symbol on the side of the 3d-printed box. This wire is the counterpoise. On the lower right is another wire connected to the side of the box. This is the random wire connected to the 9:1 antenna connection. At the lower left, in the middle of the lid, is the antenna connection for an end-fed half-wave antenna.

Each of the terminals uses a heat-set insert as a finger nut to connect the antennas.
