Wetnet Brunch Report 8-Aug-2015

Good to see Ken and Katelan...  Larry and Larry..   It was an average to better-than-average turnout.

Heidi once again keep the coffee cups full - not a trivial task..

Steve had an Ardrino Book - Arduino-for-Ham-Radio - a quick review shows some good stuff.  The article on Solar Panel monitoring alone make it worth it for me for my unattended properties monitoring project...  Author KW5GP Blog  Ham Arduino Information

Ken showed the GI.iNET router.  He reports it works well out of the box with the Microsoft USB camera.

Doug was running WSJT-X remotely at his home station.   Using Splashtop Streamer for PC and Splashtop Client for Android remote software as detailed in the latest - August  2015 - QST.
Got me hooked and I installed WSJT-X at home.  Were the bands really that bad?  (Doug says - "Yes, the bands really ARE that bad lately." )  Is my antenna really that noisy?   Both of the above?

Bob showed, and successfully flew, the $18 quad copter..   What a deal.  (Here's a link to ordering info)

John announced there will soon be an announcement...

I shared some Durian Pudding to mixed reviews...   It's an instant pudding available at most Asian food markets.  No - it doesn't have the unpleasant odoriferous qualities of the raw Durian fruit.
