- A distribution panel with 12+1 parallel connectors to feed assorted tranceivers and related instruments.
- A combining network to use upto 4 powersupplies to feed my Power-Pole network.

Over the last week or so, I've tried to remove, or at least reduce, the dependency of my web-pages on remote sites.
In particular, the dependency on google-fonts was an (unintended) annoyance. This dependency implied that all visitors to these web-pages also had to go to google to get these fonts. (Or better: their browsers did so.)
And that while the default fonts carried by the browser are, in my view, at least good enough. In any case in the "firefox" browsers on my collection of computers.
Please let me know if this change causes any problem in your browser.

Alinco DJ-X30E handheld wide-band receiver. Intended to listen to
(VHF-) marifoon and (HF-) ship communication in the south-western
parts of the baltic sea. But most sailors use GSM-telephones in
this area, so there was little interesting traffic to listen to.
