in case you hadn’t heard, the Serpent Mother is soon to be Alive at NIMBY for a few parties. IMHO, This was our Finest Hour, the Crucible’s Fire Arts Festivals. KJ6JD’s pics reminded me of how amazingly complicatedly magical She is.

do you have one of those old car battery chargers? you know, crappy metal box, big heavy transformer inside? i WANT YOUR DIODES from it. i mean, if you’re not using them of course. the V rating might be low for my 45-50V panel feeds, but the current should be sufficient. bonus: already attached to heat sink (needed when one is in shadow and the other in sun). will test 4 rolls at once soon.

had to see what would happen to disguise an HF horizontal loop antenna as an animal electric fence. center is 7.8mhz, with dips all over. great shortwave listening. decent 40m transmit. just works 80m transmit. autotunes on 20m, but no contacts yet.

so i have this thing for barometers. this is the guts to a 1949-ish taylor handheld fishing barometer, ebay score out the door under $9. bonus, it’s broken. looks like the tiny thread that’s wound as the spring counter-tension has broken off the cantilever, hanging loose off to the right. a bit small, but an easy fix, i have good tweezers, just have to find my really good old-school nylon thread that will give this lil gem another life. actually, i dont know if it’s 1949. says “copyright 1939, 1946, 1949”. safe to guess it’s older than me at least.
