The good news on the battery for the real time clock is that Jim installed a battery carrier which holds a CR2016 when he replaced the original soldered in battery. So replacing the battery is a ten m

Yeah the fans do a pretty good imitation of an F-4C at takeoff under full afterburner. -p W7PFB paul.butzi.org 73, Don’t forget to smile and have fun!

Tomorrow, Sunday Oct 9, I’m going to briefly shut down the Carnation repeater and move it back to Carnation City Hall. I’m planning on shutting it down at about 9:30am and expect it to be back on the
