Well, after a long hiatus and a few battles more recently, I now have the Qube2 building O32 stages for the little-endian port of Gentoo. N32 will probably come soon with Matt Turner throwing some Broadcom BCM91250 heavyweights at the task. I intend to keep O32 going as there’s a lot of hardware out there [...]

On Tuesday, I bought a trailer for the bicycle … this is primarily so that I can transport groceries, etc… to home since I’ve got the place to myself for a [...]
Well… after borrowing an antenna analyser and tweaking a few things… I made my second stationary contact using the bicycle mobile station on 20m. This time, using 20W transmit power. I now know where to place at least one of the taps on this autotransformer for 20m use. The station borrows heavily on the [...]
Hi all… I’ll put this in the handbook when I get around to updating that… but in short, those who need to be able to netboot SGI systems from a Windows host, might wish to give tftpd32 a try. I’ve been tinkering with this TFTP server in order to load some ARM-based devices (Ka-Ro TX27s [...]
Well, I did some experiments this weekend regarding the bicycle mobile station using an autotransformer to match the shortened end-fed whip (6′ 27MHz helically-wound) to the 50ohm impedance my set demands. I haven’t tried this on the bike itself… these were done in my bedro^W(ahhem) “radio shack”… with the antenna and its bracket sitting on [...]
