Red and Green


            

This will be a very short post. And only for the blog. I have a sweet spot (call it idiosyncrasy) for stationery. I mean, some people do heroin, some do alcohol, some do Oprah.

I mean, what could be more pleasing than creating something beautifully expressive with your own hands ? Ha ? Well, I am not creating anything (yet) but I love pens and stuff. So I collect and use them, maybe one day I will explore some alternative ways of expressing myself…

144.8 Mhz TX for APRS (3)

This is a quick update post. The road I took with this little project is slowly getting to a dead end due to what it seems to be a lack of available crystals for 144.8 (like 48.26 or 28.96 MHz, for using the third or fifth harmonic). I believe that, currently, all APRS modules are […]
