[Today’s run: 4+ miles on the new highway]<\/p>\n

This afternoon I finally got around to cleaning up a bit in my combination office\/radio room.<\/p>\n

I got a big wad of cables and cords sorted out.\u00a0 Most of them were not doing anything.\u00a0 I need to find some kind of cheap cable tray that I can screw to the bottom of my work surfaces to route the networking cables around, up off of the floor.<\/p>\n

I also put some old posters on the wall and stacked up some stuff that was sitting out in the middle of the floor.\u00a0 So I didn’t throw away much, but things are quite a bit better.<\/p>\n

In related developments, I’m planning to take a bunch of stuff to the Capital City Hamfest<\/a> in Jackson, MS at the end of January.\u00a0 I have 16 vhf cavity filters in two tall racks.\u00a0 I have a tube-amp power supply.\u00a0 I have an old O-scope.\u00a0 I’m sure I can come up with more.<\/p>\n

At the moment I cannot think of anything that I am shopping for.\u00a0 If I ran into some cheap hard-line antenna feed I would be tempted.\u00a0 Maybe another tube-type receiver would be nice.\u00a0 But mostly I just want to make some space and clear out some of the stuff that I’m not using and never will use.<\/p>\n

Hamfests are kind of funny.\u00a0 Some people try to actually make money selling their old stuff.\u00a0 I’m more of the ‘get rid of it’ school, I just want it gone.\u00a0 But I admit I get a bit miffed when I sell something cheap to someone, expecting them to use it, and find it a few days later on e-bay.\u00a0 Ok, maybe it didn’t work for them and they want to move it along.\u00a0 Maybe so.<\/p>\n

It reminds me of a guy a few years ago.\u00a0 I had an old “terminal unit” box which was\u00a0 given to me, so no skin off my nose.\u00a0 I advertised it for cheap, maybe free, and a guy showed interest so I sent it off to him.\u00a0 He claimed that it didn’t show up.\u00a0 So we made a claim on UPS\u00a0 (I guess there must have been some selling price involved).\u00a0 And that was that.\u00a0 Funny part is that later I saw him advertising that same model of equipment for sale in another place.\u00a0 Made me seriously wonder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
