ARDUSAT: Arduino In SPAAACE!

Billy's Arduino Uno board arrived yesterday and he has been working on getting the LED to blink. (We bought the board with funds generated by people who have been entering Amazon through the SolderSmoke blog site -- thanks.) We really like the little Italian board. On it you will find a map of Italy, including Sardinia and Sicily. And there is a notation on the board noting that its production was carbon neutral. Bravi!

The video above shows one of the cooler applications of the Arduino board.

N2CQR in Sardinia

There was no SolderSmoke podcast last Sunday because at our normal
broadcast time we were on an overnight ferry from Rome to Sardinia.
Beautiful island! I have a little SW rx with me, and this
Blackberry. And SSDRA.... But not much radio work this week.

Stars are beautiful here. Milky Way is BRIGHT! View was especially
good from the ship when we were way out in the Med. 73 from Sardinia!
