Video here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4_6fFSCXCU&t=1070s Not only did we provide him with some glorious diabetes snacks, but we also gifted him with some goodies available from our store. Winging its way across the pond were various sticky things including a pack of our customer Amiga floppy disk labels and some rather “controversial” Commodore W ..read more

I’m no stranger to “introductory” radio. My loft has been the home to an ADS-B antenna for the past year (ranking 223rd in the UK on Flight radar). Apart from my brief experience with CB radio in my teens, two-way radio communication has been off the radar for a looooong time. Until Meshtastic. My initial introduction to meshtastic was from Andy Kirby’s YouTube videos. The combination and easily accessible off-grid secure communication, antennas, and a thriving community had me hook, line, and sinker. What is Meshtastic Meshtastic is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as ..read more

For those of you who have had the unfortunate experience of playing the original Outrun port on the Amiga, you’ll know what a disappointment it was.
