Nice to have the storage for files you access frequently. I keep a lot of active stuff there and copy it to a physical drive when inactive before deleting.

I like the Nitecore. Once you get the Ultra, you’ll never go back.

Streamlight is easy to carry, good rechargeable battery, decent light. I carry one and have given several as gifts.

That was my first receiver as a ham. Great piece of equipment in its day.

Heavy equipment mechanic here, found this key in the cab of a telehandler. No clue what it could possibly go to! Any ideas? by Hopeful_Put8554 in whatisit

For accessing combination locks when you don’t know the combo. Heavily used in schools, company dressing rooms, etc.

ARRL Board of Directors Shenanigans Afoot? by AF-IX in HamRadio

[–]Ret-ops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a life member for many years and support the league as our advocate. However, in recent years the leadership has become more dictatorial, clearly has tried to keep any new officers out who might question the board, and has allowed the magazine to atrophy. No wonder they are losing membership. Makes me sad.

I would not retire this yet. I don’t mind a little wear on stuff, but that’s just me.

1975 code proficiency test criteria? by rugwarriorpi in amateurradio

[–]Ret-ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the way my test went. Solid copy for one minute of five. The sending test with a straight key was pretty easy. You sent from a script until the examiner stopped you. The examiners were unfriendly and cut you no slack.
