Re: #QMX is waterproof! #qmx


 

Those were not exactly wild goats. I don't know if you would call them wild or domesticated. Some goat herd and the end of each day, would round them up and take them home someplace. Of course?since the making of that video, most (perhaps all) of those goats are no more - eaten () - not by me, I'm a vegetarian!

Beautiful scenery! I'm surprised Hannes didn't roll an ankle with those hiking shoes! Were the goats wild or domesticated? Looks like great fun.

It's official!

Strictly?speaking, COFFEE proof. Turkish coffee, I should add.?

I'm sure you can guess, how I know. Yes, my one and only beloved QMX, subject of the TA4/DL9SCO and TA4/G0UPL QMX-portable video? and the QMX I do all my firmware development and testing on - became the unfortunate victim of a Turkish coffee spillage incident this morning. I keep the QMX with its enclosure removed because of all the development I do on it. So it was literally swimming on the Turkish coffee pool, the entire bottom of the PCB in the coffee, as well as a fair amount of coffee?spilled into the LCD board and controls and SMPS boards from the top side.?

After a clean-up operation involving non-trivial amounts of kitchen tissue roll, and a few blasts of hot air from the SMD rework soldering station, I nervously re-applied power and am happy to report: it all works perfectly still :-)?

It's gonna smell of coffee for a while though.
