Let's try a 10fer for @hamchallenge : :alex_crazy:

I went out today for POTA RO-0109 in front of this communist mammoth , operated all day on 36Ah (ha!). I worked one DX, the ITU HQ, out of today's DXpeds PJ4M, VP8DPD and V73MT , 14 DXCCs , plus all xOTA I heard. I had 20 contacts on CW including @YO3AX and @G0TRT. I even heard F4JRC on 6m . I fixed my audio card and used the antenna I built with the YL .

Details follow.

POTA RO-0109, The People's Palace, built on labour of communist political prisoners houses The Contemporary Art Museum. It is 270 by 240 by 90 meters tall, with another 90 meters of sub basements. Another less useful thing it houses beyond the museum is the Parliament and its two chambers.

There was a flurry of activity today in the park: Romania had a rerun of our presidential elections. I nominate this for my unusual location

@hamchallenge Before I used to activate with the SCU-17, I had a cheap $3 soundcard which had wires loose after every use. Today I fixed it and incorporated it into a SlimDigi.

This is a neat design for a soundcard + hub for CAT on 891, which is tiny and uses USB-C. All credits go to LB8IJ. The choice of parts is great and while I'm not a fan of cables embedded in a device without a connector, I love how fast it is to deploy.

It took a few prints.
