I have been using alligator clips to connect my Vectronics Oscillator to the battery for a while. It seems like I’ll be using the oscillator a lot more while I practice with sending cw with my Vibroplex bug. So I took a few minutes to make a more permanent connection. This will prevent the bare wires from shorting.
Yaesu gave away 8,000 hats at Hamvention 2023. The line was long but moved fast. I was surprised how quickly they went.
