TenTec 1056, in a case!

Well, I finally bored some holes in the case (kind of banging it up a little in the process, next time, I’ll put tape over all the edges) and mounted my radio in a real metal case. After warmup, it seems quite a bit more stable, and there is less problem with microphonics and frequency wandering now that it is inside.

TenTec 1056, in its casePardon for the slightly bad picture, I snapped it using PhotoBooth from my apple laptop, since I couldn’t find even a single SD card for my real digital camera. Sigh. I’ll get a better picture up later.

I got ready just to catch some 30wpm code practice from W1AW. That’s too fast for me, but fldigi did a pretty good job of decoding it. I also caught a bunch of RTTY stations calling CQ, but no real QSOs.

I’ll be having more fun with this. Now, to put all the tools away.
