I spent most of the day locating some of the smaller parts used for the AM (medium wave) transmission line and learning to make drawings of them.  A large percentage of that time was spent discovering what AutoCad shortcuts are NOT available in LibreCAD, then trying to figure alternative ways of accomplishing what needed to be done.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-56.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-56-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-56-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-56-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-56-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-56.png 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Clamps uses for cables used to make feedline.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to my statement yesterday, the air-conditioning crew had only positioned the two units, not \u201cinstalled\u201d them. Today they hooked them up and got them operating.  The remaining two units will be installed later.  A couple of months remain until the beginning of the hot season, so two units are more than adequate for now.<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-57.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"956\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-57.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-57.png 956w, https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-57-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mcguirereport.mcguireclan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-57-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>At Bush Pizzeria and Cafe&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This evening we treated the Steve and Lorraine to supper out at the Bush Pizzeria and Cafe&#8217; [https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thebushpizzeria] located at the back entrance to The Old Stone Church (where Virginia had tea yesterday).  The Bushu family from the Congo are the owners and some of the family are members of the Evanglical Bible Church.  They are also caretakers of the Old Stone Church, so while we were waiting for our order, they opened the church after-hours for us to view the museum displays.  We ordered their Meaty Friday Special You Crave (beef, ham, pepperoni, chicken pizza) that includes an extra cheese pizza with their special Bush sauce.  Both are medium-sized pizzas and very delicious for a very reasonable price of E190 (just over $11).  We had a great time there, then came back to the Stav&#8217;s house for Friday night games.  This time we played Mexican Train dominoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning was the TWR Eswatini monthly staff meeting held at the office (next month it is scheduled to be at the transmitter site).
