Is that really true? Well my answer is that indeed its true. Example we have some of the slickest technology in our rigs, but they still have problems. You know... that newly constructed 100 watt RF amplifier works great on 20M but is an attenuator on 10M or the code for the ESP32 MCU simply does not work despite being generated by AI. That newly built one tube regen retro circuit simply does not regen.
We fuss, fret, ponder drinking, fever dream removing all the components yet a non-functional lump remains. Nothing we do seems to change the outcome thus every thing changes but nothing changes.
I had a great opportunity to spend some quality time with son #3 during our Colorado sojourn and he was sharing with me some of his current workplace experiences. I was totally shocked and amazed... different industry, advanced technology, and a 40 year time warp BUT the very same issues and problems I saw some 40 years ago when I was his age working in aerospace. Surprisingly the only common element is the human element.
We will not delve into those running our government as I am sure they monitor all blogs and you tube videos. So I will stop there.
I fabricated some more IF Can mounting plates as I found the copper PC Board is a bit thick for the Spring Clip mounted versions but OK for the solder lug type cans. I had some thin scrap aluminum and that is the perfect thickness for the Spring Clip type.
I would be happy to share the dxf files for the two types should a reader have a CNC. I think back to all the times I hand cut IF Can mounting holes and most looked like a real butcher jobs. Now I just have to punch the Start button. Wow something did change and it required me to make the change... human element.
