Found out why my mini whip antenna wasn’t working; apparently these power line LAN adapters were spraying wide band RF noise into everything; but wifi bridge is no problem at all.
Also found a Uniden BCD996XT at the local thrift shop; looks like it's supported by hamlib -- so I'll finally be able to try CubicSDR rig control on an external radio 😀
Found a Philips PM3110 Oscilloscope at the local thrift shop; mid-1970's and apparently still fully functional; probably due for a recap though😁
Excited to try out my new mini-whip antenna, hopefully works better than the janky long wire I rigged up at my last apartment.
Macbook is alive again! -- Appears to be stable so far. Faulty little tantalum cap removed and beefy replacement installed.
Current status: preparing to resurrect my Macbook Pro thanks to inspiration and tips from @RossmannGroup videos on YouTube.

Icy weather and the curb at the entrance to work put an end to my 2001 Pontiac Sunfire; R.I.P. buddy, you didn't owe me anything more.
