I think we may have had this conversation before now that we’re having it (again?)! Just bookmarked and screenshotted your reply now so I have it handy the next time I rebuild my Salvation. Thanks (again?)!
The bump ons idea is really interesting and something I hadn’t considered at all, to be honest. I do mostly notice the ping when I’m in the office where I don’t have a deskmat, so it may be partially to blame.
That may be true lol I share those tips when I can because I really struggled with ping in my Salvation to the point I almost gave up and wanted to get rid of them. Now they’re spectacular!
The bump ons made a hyuuge difference!
I snagged Hammerhead Dark with all the goodies from Stupid Bullets Tech garage sale for a great price. I’m so excited, after searching for a while on MM, I will now have the entire Hammerhead collection, and at a great price at that !
Oh and I also finally just bit the bullet on a melody96 case after debating it for a long while.
Unlike the US, where I think interstate shipping does not incur additional costs, here in the EU, shipping from Germany to neighbouring Belgium has become prohibitively expensive for small items (€18) if it is not with Amazon.de.
Luckily, I am befriended with a ham radio club member who is living close over the border in Germany. He will be receiving the parcel for me. This and import tarifs is what is holding us back here in the dystopian dictature of the EU .
In fact, it now turned out to be a double win: free shipping and 19% German value added tax (VAT) instead of 21% Belgian VAT. Smuggling switches is fun!
Dammit my dudes, I see two things that really really make my fingers itch today.
One is absofuckinlutely untouchable for me:
There’s not a snowballs chance in Hades I can fly this under the Wife Radar.
This, however, I think I can get away with:
The only catch for me is, I don’t solder well. In fact I can’t imagine a more unlikable, grueling task. Also, I have seen very little talk about the Molly. What do you guys think about this board and is it worth $75?
I’m always willing to help a fellow keebtalker out! Not sure where you are located to say if it would be worth having me build it for you, but just saying the offer is on the table if you need the help man!
