Hi All, This morning on AO-7 at about 1229 UTC, I heard WL7H on cw with good sigs. Are you (or is he) in KL7 or somewhere else? I've not heard KL7 from here in NYC before.
A different question: any hints on shading a laptop's screen so that it can be viewed when operating outdoors (to avoid sunshine)?
Tnx and 73, Tony, N2UN LM 183
Tony as an outdoor photographer I've been using some of the commercial products like Comp-u-shade, and many others that I purchased on ebay, to be honest non of them last much longer they easily tear apart or get lose, so I end up making my own with black cardboard or black binder plastic and use velcro to attach that to the back of the laptop, look for them on the market and try to duplicate them first before you buy one.

A couple of bits of sticky velcro, and some black foamcore or similar. Cut a strip as wide as the required depth of hood and as long as the width and twice the height of the laptop lid (plus a wee bit over for the bends). Then trim the sides so that they slope back and down like a truncated triangle so you can actually get at the function keys. Finally "crimp" the foamcore so that it folds cleanly at the corners and use the sticky velcro to attach it to the lid.
