November 22, 2024: Thanksgiving edition! POTA antenna project is underway. New/old CW key. Challenges installing ASL3. Is the Beelink T5 a good 3040 replacement? Special commands for ASL3 nodes.
Great issue as always Tom! I particularly appreciated the comparison of the Dell vs Beelink PCs. One minor plus for the Dells is that they’re engineered to run forever in enterprise use while the Beelink is (I’ll guess) engineered for attractive cost to consumers. Not a disqualified for the latter… just a consideration.
Oh absolutely right, Steve. Thank you for pointing out that the 3040 (and Dell's other thin client machines of that era) are designed to just last and last and last...and for the most part, they do :-)
If you are reading the emailed version of issue 114, you'll probably notice a few typos. My apologies for the poor proofreading! Those typos are corrected in the online version available at https://www.randomwire.us/
