    [20210305] Today an interesting batch of Nichicon capacitors arrived from nl.mouser.com. I needed a replacement cap for the repair of my HP-8116A and decided to start collecting a stock of electrolytic capacitors. I know, I know, shelf life and all… But waiting two weeks in lockdown for a single elco is no fun either… Today’s…

    Right after my last walk to the waste container and while backing up content and pushing it to this web site, I can now declare myself a paperless HAM.

    [20210215] Introduction A couple of weeks ago, I joined to the Time Ghost Army, pretty much in reaction to Spartacus Olsson’s brilliant handling of the Wannsee conference in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd1gHrQdeuI (War Against Humanity sub-series). Citing Sparty from that episode @00:44: “It’s a meeting of bureaucrats to settle the logistics of industrialized murder on a scale never…

    [20210203] The Positive Grid Spark is Finally There! Yes, at last, finally, my Spark from Positive Grid arrived today! Order placed 20201231; delivered 20210203 (out of the blue).
