-Jonathan GI3JMC's WAOARC Kit Build
-After the 2025 Worked All OARC kit was presented on Sunday 20th July, and the order link was published, I immediately ordered it then started wondering what to use it on.  I settled on the following bits which landed on my doorstep on Tuesday 22nd July (well done PiHut!):
-  * Raspberry Pi Zero 2W
-  * Waveshare UPS Hat
-  * Raspberry Pi Power Supply
-  * Colour-coded GPIO header
-I managed to get the GPIO header soldered into place the right way round and bolted the UPS hat into place.

-I rummaged in the 'little parts' box and found an 8Gb MicroSD card, and used the Raspberry Pi Imager to put the current 32-bit 'Lite' version of Raspberry Pi OS onto the card, checking that the customization settings were setting the Pi's network name, adding my WiFi details, a username, and a password.  Once the card was written I put it into the Pi Zero 2W and started it up.  The first startup takes a little while as the system resizes itself to use all available space on the MicroSD card, so I went and got myself some coffee.

-Once the coffee was finished, I opened a command line and connected to the Pi using ''ssh''. My username is ''jonathan'' and the pi is ''wspr-pizero2''.\\
-''ssh jonathan@wspr-pizero2''
-Now that the Pi is running and I've connected to it, I updated it with ''sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y'' and restarted it with ''sudo systemctl reboot''.
-I reconnected via ssh again, and started to install the software to run the OARC-designed WSPR WithOut Tears hat, called ''wsprrypi'', folling the instructions at [[https://wsprry-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Install/index.html#install-wspr|https://wsprry-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Install/index.html#install-wspr]]
-The command ''curl -fsSL installwspr.aa0nt.net | sudo bash'' started to download and run the install process, which took between 15 & 20 minutes on the Pi Zero 2, with 9m30s spent compiling the actual software.  Once it finished I restarted the Pi for good measure.
-After the restart a webpage was available at ''http://wspr-pizero2/wsprrypi'' to configure and enable the transmissions.  I entered my callsign and saved the page, not yet flipping the transmit enable switch.  That needs to wait until I receive and build the kit & filter.
