Raspberry Pi Zero W (see elsewhere on this list) BUT also with a nice little screen, and the world's best thumb-keyboard - basically a small WiFi Linux phone without the phone. Like if a BlackBerry had run real Linux. How neat is that?

I've been playing some fun ham-radio games with the amazing little RTL-SDR super-wideband USB radio receiver. It came with a pretty crappy antenna though, I've had to borrow one off of something else that would really like it back. This is supposed to be the best set of antennas, if you can catch it whilst it's in stock!

Must be at least 3.5m or so, of fairly flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable (EG RG58), with an N-type Male connector one one end. Don't care what's on the other end, if anything - this is for a ham radio repair

Our vacuum cleaner is really rather good UNTIL you run over something that jams it, at which point it burns its own belt within 2 seconds. I feel like we almost need a subscription of these things :-/

Cool. Would quite like to be able to point at this at work and say "look, that's where GSM is, and that's why you can't do gigabit data rates to mobiles" and stuff.
