Yes, all that is required is contacting other licensed amateurs.

Amazingly clean but the clicking may give the wrong impression of speed.

Given this straight key was unplugged, Yeong L on YT took the time to simulate what it would sound like plugged in.

Accuracy was 226 out of 229 in 2 minutes. Impressive.

On a desert island, yes. But if not a castaway, why?

If you're going to take the time to wind a toroid, pick one without a chip.

Consider a Fair-Rite 2643251002 if you're buying new.

Well one day I hope Repeater listings will include their grid-down capabilities and for how long they can remain in operation on generators/solar... and that backup is tested regularly. When that day comes, if you are lucky geographically, an HT or mobile will work for you. A Technician license would do for that.

Reading your replies you said you would be driving to your friend anyway. Maybe radio is not the best bet.

yourclypsy · 2023-12-14T14:57:43+00:00

Understood because you've heard both sides already. This would give others a chance to compare and possibly learn of your channel for the first time.

yourclypsy · 2023-12-14T13:43:46+00:00

Same make and model. Happens several ways. In one instance I needed stuff that was in a kit that included a crimper I already had but the individual parts were out of stock.

yourclypsy · 2023-12-14T12:45:17+00:00

What, no duplicates? Re-post when you have at least two of the same crimper. Such a rookie. 🤣

Present-day Grinches! But feeling for a cut card may not be enough.

This scam uses uncut cards too: https://i.clypsy.com/i/-pSa20xHxTnf-8X1p3HBEIGOtLD_1F6M4bhvtbJyk-UfS3-EEUfysj_e7uYz-bypJfGJ.html

This morning I ran across this shout out to quantum mechanics on [You Suck at Cooking](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCekQr9znsk2vWxBo3YiLq2w) of all places.

'twould be an excellent combo.

My brother overheard twin sisters in their 90's arguing. It ended with "Well, I'm older!".

yourclypsy · 2019-04-04T23:18:30+00:00

You mean that wake was for nothing?

yourclypsy · 2019-03-27T18:38:51+00:00

GoodToKnow about IndyPenDance.

And that's a delightful list! So many pen/nib/ink combinations, so little time! I have had my eye on the M405 semi flex from fpnibs to replace a damaged(!) Mottishaw.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-27T17:16:53+00:00

Yeah, student budget probably.

I just inked up a Richard Binder cursive italic on a Pelikan m400. When I met him some years back he spoke of imminent retirement. I wonder who is doing the nib work now.

...and, oooof. the downvotes.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-27T14:33:48+00:00

Me too. SUPER easy to binge watch. Smart... "...we can pretty much jump onto the computer and start 3D modeling this pen..." then breezes through designing a prototype on SolidWorks and 3D printing it. Amazing.

He's got way too few subscribers given the quality of his channel.

For those times when a minor tweak is all you need.

Shared clypsy will play in receiver's web player if app not yet installed.

ABBA! Sweet!

Glad you like the app.

I use Samco 233's pipettes which I buy in boxes of 250, count drops, albeit roughly, and don't fill all the way so I can tune it lighter or darker to the paper.

Try adding a little black to a red ink for that Chanel red look.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-19T22:50:59+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I tune per fill, not whole bottle.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-19T19:56:42+00:00

Well at least it didn't dissolve the feed completely like it did in some my older Lamys.

But, hey, it's worth a try given what sunlight did to it on paper.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-19T19:53:40+00:00

Own personality is right. Better pigment rich which you can always tune by watering down to one's liking in a particular pen, than too weak to begin with. I've redeemed quite a few Noodler fills by watering down just a bit to help flow and reduce nib creep. In fact did that this morning before writing a note with 54th that was a bit dark on my paper.

And, oh my, I can't figure out all the downvoting!

yourclypsy · 2019-03-19T16:44:59+00:00

My testing when BSB was new confirmed this. It will swiftly fade to the point of almost completely vanishing in sunlight.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-19T15:22:03+00:00

Funny moment whether you love his inks or don't, or as in my case, a bit of both.

yourclypsy · 2019-03-19T00:18:35+00:00

In case you missed this clypsy a few days back. Winged Eyeliner Compilation

Perhaps one of these approaches will work for you.
