Somehow I’ve started building speakers. They combine electronics with woodworking all in one nice sounding box! I settled on Paul Carmody’s Overnight Sensations as my first go. Thus far I’be built two sets of the bookshelf speakers and am in the process of building the floorstanding “TMM” and center channel speakers. The full CAD drawings and PCB board files are included in my ever expanding GitHub repository for the project!

A brief description of the 3 Folder Email System that I use to manage email. Like the 14 Folder Paper System it has worked relatively well for me over the past several years. I’ll also freely admit that I fall off the wagon frequently and don’t always follow through with all the steps and processes here. We are all a work in progress.

YouTube live stream with Kyle AA0Z walking through the Node Red WSJT-X nodes for Node Red.

An old-school toggle-switch control panel for Home Automation. I’ve fast grown tired of tablet interfaces and flat glass screens you have to type on. This is my retaliation, a very tactile control panel for home automation. The control panel interfaces with my home automation system to control lights and devices around my house. The best part is I can “feel” the switches in the dark to turn on the lights!

Last year at Hamvention 2022 I purchased one of QRP Labs’ QDX Digital Transceiver kits. This week I finally got around to building it! I’ve found it performs rather well on 20m with FT8. For posterity, I’ve captured a few build photos and some notes on my build here.

A set of “nodes” for the flow based programming tool Node-RED that connect to, control, and monitor WSJT-X software over the network. With these nodes you can decode messages sent from WSJT-X and inject the data into a flow or using data in your flow encode and send commands to WSJT-X.
