When deciding between linear or switching power supplies many factors should be considered. Your tolerance for voltage ripple and EMI in your station are important. The main consideration, however, is how much heat it generates, and how efficiently it can transfer that heat into your cat. #hamradio #caturday

@F1RUM Ten-Tec Century 21 (570). 📻

I bought it off E-Bay and rebuilt the vernier with a kit from Ten-Tec, which was really fun and rewarding. I forgot what even motivated me to sell it, but I should have kept it.

I've got a parts one laying around, but it's beyond my ability to repair.

It's probably a good thing that boatanchors are 💸 or I'd have them stacked to the ceiling.

@ve3qbz That's Log4OM log4om.com/

Its a great general purpose logger and award tracker. Give it a try!

I consolidate logs from N1MM n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/
and FLDigi sourceforge.net/projects/fldig into it

It can interface with WSJT and lots of other things.

Operating conditions here are...
✅ Judgemental stare from Pepper (aka VFO C)
✅ Amount of CW gear inversely proportional to CW ability...working to improve!
✅ Notepad full of #licw practice.

👍 #Morserino is great though!
