So much for my talking about taking only small items. This outlet is not small, but it is very lightweight.
The USB outlets incorporated in it is why I bought it. Hopefully it will work as well as it sounds like it should. I’ve bought a number of Anker products over the years all have preformed very well, hopefully this will as well.
The hub is very small and weighs next to nothing. We can also use it to charge multiple devices overnight from the single plug we often find in hotel rooms if needs be.
Reading about the Midland WR120 I discovered that there is a simple antenna one can make that would help bring in weak signals. There are only five inexpensive parts to it.
The parts are: 1. a wire coat hanger; 2. a 3 or 4 foot piece of RG6 Coaxial Cable with F Type Connectors; 3. a RG6 F-Type female to female adapter; 4. F-Type female to RCA male coaxial cable connector; 5. a F-Type Balun 300-75 ohm TV connector antenna matching transformer.
Below is the YouTube video I followed to construct the antenna. The first 6 min 30 sec are a review of the radio, then comes how the antenna is constructed.
Severe weather is a given whether we are on our RV lot or travel in the western states. This summer we had a warning whenever severe weather was approaching thanks to the weather radio my wife insisted that we buy.
The weather radio we chose was the Midland WR120. Whenever we changed RV parks we would set the channel and location to the broadcast for that area. It was one of better additions we have made and we were never surprised by severe weather either during the trip or since we have been back.
The nearby border wall keeps growing and growing.
