Started work on a new project, a small computer based on the microUK101 by Grant Searle with some ideas borrowed from Quinn Dunki's Veronica project. You can read more about it here.

Finally did it, sat and passed the exams to qualify for a foundation amateur radio license. About 3 weeks later I got a letter in the mail which contained my license and the next-issue callsign, VK3FPAA!

My poor multimeter got a bit soggy, and needed some attention to get it back up and running.
You can check out the repair I did here.

Just put some more radio projects up that I finished recently, a Small Wonder Labs SW-40 transceiver and a 100 watt dummy load.
You can check out the SW-40 transceiver here, and the dummy load here.

My dad helped me build a crystal a radio back when I was 7-8. I was amazed that I could listen to the radio for "free".
Sadly I didn't progress from there, only messing with FM bugs and similar things growing up.
I finally decided I wanted to get my amateur radio license mid 2011, and thought I'd better put a page on here to log my progress and various projects.
First project is a loaded dipole for the 40m/7MHz band, you can check it out here

Small project my dad requested, a Delrin sleeve to attach a webcam to his telescope. You can check it out here

Thought I'd better dust off my lathe and make something, and I'd be wanting to make some knobs for easier removal of the change gear cover.

Pictures of my scope after the hack, and some links to the firmware files and instructions I used.
I had planned to the do the hack when I purchased the scope a few months ago, but mine had a patched firmware that was only fairly recently bypassed allowing the hack.

Welcome to my little corner of the web. Here you'll find all sorts of random stuff, mostly various projects and hobbies of mine.
Partly a place for me to put these random things, primarily a place for me to dabble in HTML and web design.
