#vibroplex

First sprint in years. Remembered why I don't like my Alinco HF. It's power settings are 100/10/1-W and for all the bells and whistles my TenTec is just a nicer radio with 4-W out and a smooth full break in.

Sold as the "open source qrp" radio this transmitter has a clone of an Arduino computer at its heart. You decide how it's going to operate, you write the programming script and flash it to the radio. In my case I kept it simple if I need to know what frequency I'm on I've got a script that if I hold down the select key for 10 seconds it beeps in Morse code to me where I'm at. Other people have modified them to have display screens. Some folks dress them right up, but I wanted to keep mine simple for when I took it out into the world. Speaking of which first contact in years on this radio was a guy (W2ITT) working Parks On The Air in Long Island, NY.

So we’re bugging out here. The old Vibroplex is working great and I got the stinger here from AI4UH to slow it down to party pace. Adam sells them on eBay and it works by adding length to the pendulum arm. Simple and elegant.
