1206 SMT resistor compared to penny

Image by bnp
Traditionally, hobbyists have used through-hole components. Virtually all commercial products now use surface mount components. Hobbyists are slowly being dragged over to surface mount parts. The 1206 resistor, to the right of the penny, is just .12 inches by .06 inches. It is one of the larger surface mount sizes. The NorCal Dummy Load uses 44 of these 2.2 kOhm resistors.

A detail of the three-section fiberglass mast on the tripod supporting the antenna. View the large size to see the fiberglass mast sections and the antenna. The fiberglass masts fit over the tripod as if purpose made, then nest on each other. We have four fiberglass sections, but used only three here. We bought the sections at a military surplus store, where they are described as tent poles.

We could have splayed the legs of the tripod out further for greater stability, as the bike mechanic did.

PC SWAP for Antenna Analyzer

Image by kc7fys
This Toshiba A15-S129 is available for swap. Details, if you are a ham radio person: I want to trade a Toshiba Satellite A15-S129 notebook computer for an antenna analyzer.

The Computer:
Celeron 2.4 GHz 400 MHz system bus clock speed
13 by 11.5 by 1.5 inches
6.3 pounds
40 GB hard disk
15-inch active-matrix display (1024×768 maximum resolution
DVD/CD-RW
two USB ports
integrated 56K modem
RJ-45 LAN network port
PCMCIA port (1)

The system fan buzzes when it starts up and after about 3-5 minutes quiets to normal and functions normally. There are about a dozen weird pixels where the screen has touched the touchpad over time all within a 1cm spot, and one 1-pixel-wide vertical line on the monitor. (Photographs show this.)
This would make an excellent PC for portable digital ops, and is a fine general-purpose second machine.
Photos:
I am looking for an MFJ antenna analyzer, or one of another type if you wish to suggest one.
Thanks,
KC7FYS

My Grumman C-1A Cockpit

Image by Ian E. Abbott
In the 1990s I acquired the cockpit section of a former US Navy Grumman C-1A Trader, BuNo 136780. It sat in my backyard for almost a decade, but I never carried out my plans to turn it into my amateur radio station.

In 2004, I learned that the Quonset Air Museum in Rhode Island needed many of the parts on my cockpit to restore their historic C-1A, BuNo 136792. That aircraft was the aerodynamic prototype for the WF-2 (E-1B) Tracer airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft program. I decided to donate my cockpit to the Quonset Air Museum.
