I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode

So I got an #RTSystems USB-63 cable from #DXEngineering and I've just run "./usbPortCheckerThingy.sh" in one shell window before plugging it in, and again in an adjacent shell window after, so I could see what to change in the #CQRLOG settings for #rigctl.

THE HOPE is that rigctl will use one cable, flrig will use the other, and they will peacefully coexist.

I am also curious if it would be easier for all involved if my paychecks just went directly to DX Engineering.
