I was expecting more "RYRYRYRY" on the screen if it's RTTY
Is it a modern version of the PK232?
Still got mine

The signal fades on 10MHz this time of night, it's down in the noise and amazing how well it copes. The modem is being developed bit by bit as we have time and there are already some unique features. PD0LEW in Holland is concentrating on the software and I am doing all the hardware / PCB design. The snap off sections are to suit a 5" display as shown, or a 7" display with just the left section snapped off.

Spent an hour in the shop in the evening
And moved things into the little cabinet I've bought a month or so ago.
In the top drawer we have left to right
Combination square, a ruler, dial indicator, the famous free bit of HDPE/PTFE/polyamide or ethalite, i really don't know what is it really.
Parkside file set, various squares and threading tools grinding guides.
Letters and numbers punch sets in the little grey boxes, compasses.
Mitutoyo calipers, classic vernier, digimatic coolant proof, standard digimatic, and Parkside digital goniometer.
In the wooden boxes baby squares and plane checking straight edges
Precision level beneath the coolant proof mitutoyo.
Feeler gauges and thread pitch gauges.
On the top shelf
Big masculine M45 Emuge tap
Cotter pins set, set screws set, grease fittings, Dormer die stock.
Red box is the SAE UNC UNF taps and dies set.
In the green box an assortment of Güehring, Dormer, Emuge and others machine taps ranging between M2 up to M35 with few BSW and BSP ones.
Cardboard box is a völkel ratcheting tap wrench, blue box on top is a Güehring M16 excessive Length spiral fluted tap .
Red boxes are M3-4-5-6-8-10 HSSE Dormer taps .
Beta broken studs extractors set, cheap Amazon M3-4-5-6-8-10-12 spiral fluted taps, red box is 3/8BSW dormer tap
Remaining are M14 Dormer taps.
Blue box are threading dies, various sizes including Metric, BSW, NPT, BSP.
Behind enemy lines we have a green box containing Morse taper drills mostly white star, grey box is a Fein anular cutters set (picked up and sent to me by a gentle forum member... Embarrassing enough I can't remember who)
Front left, Parkside reduced shank drills, M6 v-coil set, helicoil assortment.
Little yellow box are Parkside step drills, transparent One are Dormer drills from 3 up to 13mm including .0 .25 .30 .5 and .75 sizes for most thread pitches pre holes.
Röhm chuck from the Bosch 1103 drill, little box are impero center drills, little red box are 7.00mm HSS-Co dormer drills.
On the right going upward we have
Güehring 6-10mm decimal drills set
Garanth 1-6mm decimal drills set
Würth 1-13 drills set
Usag M3-12 drills and taps set.
Left to right
Superego 2" pipe cutter, superego double flare set, superego 1/4" up to 1-1/4" pipe threader set.
Little bit hiding there we have an angle grinder replacement armature for my Fein MSFA 666 B (I've been looking for one for months but eventually found it on ebay)
Beta riveter, Parkside hole saws set.
And completely hidden on the right there's my tungsten grinder.
I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything, still work in progress few things will be moved somewhere else but I really didn't expected I would have been able to put all that stuff inside this little thing
Plus I've practically done a recap of many of my ebay auctions and nearby deals of the last 2 years
Well time to put other things inside and get dinner

Those live outside the shop, they arrived as birthday present for my mom after our 17 years old dog (half breed pinscher) death.
They spend the day in the yard breathing open fresh air, and we take them inside home during the night.
We eventually got a lovely Prague ratter, well my sister bought it and we fell in love with it, just imagine to have a 3 pound doberman but extremely cuddly and really intelligent little dog.
Its always nearby us, it lives freely at home and it's very educated.
I love it, I didn't want it because I was still crying the previous one but I eventually couldn't resist him.
Little bast@#* arrived that was only a month old puppy

I do not trust any make of those forms of stud extractors not to make an already crap job 100 times worse . . . place them somewhere safe now, so safe you forget you have them

Well let's say that those ones apparently work.I do not trust any make of those forms of stud extractors not to make an already crap job 100 times worse . . . place them somewhere safe now, so safe you forget you have them
They have a 5 flute spiral design not the usual thread type that usually end up snapping.
Problem with those types of extractors is that people don't know how to use them.
Seized studs equals drilling them out
Over tightened one you can try them out
Broken fitting they'll 99% work
And so on
Essentially if you can spin them little bit with a chisel you can save a lot of time using them
Otherwise try something else

Thanks! It’s more stable than trying to move them around on a pallet and it saves the floor getting scratched once it’s all painted.
This one’s getting Cooper-ised so I got the boot board brackets welded in yesterday.
Sliding gate has been tacked up but too windy to properly do anything and no way I’m getting a 4x2 gate frame in my garage and being able to work round it.
I did manage to get the side gate made to go along with it though. Just some tidying up to do to it before i prime and paint it.
Weighs probably 100kg though which should make hanging it fun!

ignore the messy bench, i had a minor episode just before the photo for not being able to find the tungsten i had just sharpened. wooden handle is just a dummy to aid assembly.
there are 3 more identical, mounts left to do monday but they are simple. still need a bit of fettling to get them right in places but for the most part they are how my father wants them to look, hand made and heavy duty. will house some flickering LED bulbs in a frosted tube for a fairly authentic effect.
will post another pic when painted and installed.
for scale they are 140mm diameter, 250 from tips to bottom of the mount spikes
