Hi John. Ahh the wonders of technology. I'm sure there must be an explanation, I wouldn't have thought Stephen would boot you over the lack of a donation. Joanne doesent like fuss, she is getting married in NZ to avoid having a big wddding do here. Aparently they are getting married in a field somewhere, a quick 10 minute ceremony and all done. Sounds like a trip to the dentist!😂😂.
Well I'm off to bed bow, It's 04 25 here and I've been buggering about with a large steam engine all night, it's so easy to loose track of time when you are playing in the workshop!.
Nice to hear from you,
Best wishes,
N.
Hi JB, A little while ago you were experimenting with using plastic tubing as a propellor shaft coupling. Did you reach any conclusions?
I am tying to quieten down a brushless motor/waterjet installation and do not have space for a more traditional flexible coupling.
Thanks as usual,
Rowen
Hi JB.
Good to hear from you and hope you’re ok.
God he just p….s me off all the time the same old things and never anything new or building related.
I just wish someone would tell him to wind his neck in.
I was tempted to say more but don’t want to start a war.
Hi John, what a terrific collection of
radios still looking in great condition.
I can understand that having those tactile bits of kit in front of you bring the memories flooding back !. The Yaesu Frg 7 was my first SW radio followed by the FT-ONE when I got my licence. Working the world and making wire antennas was fun for me. So much has changed with digital comms as I'm sure you appreciate. Getting back into radio since stroke has been a challenge but I do still dabble on the digital modes via computer and with an SDR FlexRadio 1500,
Looking forward to seeing more test runs with the land yacht - I have had just the same problems as you with wx conditions and finding empty car parks without potholes !!!!.
Best wishes John.

Yes my wife's ill health is the reason for no real progress, hobbies take a back seat in these sort of circumstances. Unfortunately I don't see that changing for some time she seems to keep going backwards not forwards, I don't know how much further she can keep going for.
Interesting little project you have got there with the land yacht.
