Digital TV Signal Strength Meter (Redwood City)
I am looking to borrow a digital TV signal strength meter to adjust my OTA antenna. The photo is just an example. For months, I have had multiple channels coming in clearly and as of this past weekend, several of them have lost their signal. Not sure if it was the high temperatures, or some something else, but I have been unsuccessful in resolving the issue. If you have a meter that I can borrow over a weekend I would sincerely appreciate it! Thanks!

🔍 Looking for Loupes to repurpose (Las Palmas)
Hey community! Happy Monday 😊 I’m documenting the life cycle of the monarch caterpillars on my milkweed — grown from seeds I picked up at the Oakland Seed Library 🌱🦋 — and I’d love to take sharper, more detailed photos and videos. I’m looking for a set of loupes that I can attach or adapt for my phone camera lens. I’ve used loupes before and had great results, but my current clip-on macro setup isn’t cutting it. I even tried a handheld phone microscope, but it was too hard to keep steady for good footage. My next plan is to MacGyver a little loupe attachment for my phone — if anyone has spare jewlers loupes(even ones that have fallen apart), recommendations, or creative DIY ideas for this, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to message me with suggestions!
