New Radios and rototiller repair

Had a good week.

I got two new ham radios.
These are DMR radios.
(Digital Mobile Radio)

Got them programed thanks to Jamie WA7JH putting on several Skype workshops.

Anytone D578U Pro as my new 2 meter/440 (70cm)/DMR base.

Anytone D878U as my new 2 meter/440 (70cm)/DMR handheld.
I now have more capability in the ham world.

Outside the house, I got the used rototiller I purchased up and running.



It is an old True-test 5hp tiller.
When I got it, it didn't have tines and the belts were worn out.
Got tines and replaced the belts.
the linkage needs some work but it tills.

I used it to churn up my compost pile.

Freshly churned compost.
This pile has been going for several years now.
This is the best churn I have done on it.
the stuff down deep is looking good.
I mainly use this pile to get rid of grass clippings and some kitchen waste.

Who knows,now that I have a tiller I may try to put in a garden somewhere.

Y'all stay safe.
