3D Printing
Nicely made. I took a similar approach on my QCX. A 2 piece case. QCX Pic It doesn't apply here but for outdoor use use white if possible. Been using Fusion 360 for 3 years.

Iambic Mouse for microBitx
I was looking for a keyer on the internet and was holding my mouse. It struck me that the mouse would make a fairly decent key for my ubitx radio. The ubitx has the firmware in place to support and it

Yep Brian qrp has come a long way. Am sure this design could be rebuilt as SMD and be size of a postage stamp. Too bad hf antennas have not found a way to be miniaturized in the same way.

Bex, my wife told me of her run in with a hot iron. Somehow it got pulled off the bench and down between her legs, cutting a 3" trench on her upper inner thigh. She was repairing glasses for her dad.

for practice I desoldered an old board and asked her to resolder them yesterday. Almost all were good the first time and all were fine after a rework.

No words of encouragement for a new solderess? One of the reasons she chose this particular kit is that included a handful of crystals.

My wife ke0qfr wanted a project to practice soldering on. I suggested that she try the Pixie. Seemed like most Chinese distributed kits contained a 7.023 mc crystal. Out of band for a General. We both
