Happy Hannukah

I have got as far as sourcing connectors and collecting prices.

EXCEPT for Lucent MC type connectors.
(For micro-coax connections into PCMCIA cards)

Does anyone have any info on Australian sources for these?
Or any decent pages on modifying the cards to accept other RF connector types?

No progress on other stuff due to work, beer and girl commitments.

One good thing is that I ended up finding a mast...buried in my front yard.
This is really a MAST though...really, as in it came from a boat of some kind.

But I am not fussy, it's 6-7 metres long, aluminium, and will lash nicely to a pole at the front of my house.

May end up being a lot easier than a freestanding 12 metre monstrosity...IF it is high enough to suit my needs.

Anyway, forget about reading any amazing new stuff here in the next 2 weeks or so..will be working/beering/skirt-chasing for a while longer.

For those of you not in Darwin, it may interest you to know that the wet season has arrived....
In hopefully unrelated news, the relay we built recently has just stopped working (today). I am praying it's just a breaker issue related to the shockingly bad power we seem to have in Darwin....won't know until we go topside, hopefully tomorrow.

Fingers crossed the Linksys WRT54GS and the Minitar APs are not water-damaged or cooked in some way..

See you in 2005

Dave
