Overview - Finding FLDIGI Macro Files

Some organizations or groups conduct structured digital communications, using FLDIGI, and may provide a set of FLDIGI Macros to support their digital communications activities. This article intends to provide some guidance on how to locate the FLDIGI Macro folder, and then how to configure FLDIGI to use the newly installed macro file.

Locating the FLDIGI Macro Folder on Mac OS

On Mac OS, the FLDIGI configuration data folder is hidden. You can navigate to the macro file by executing the following steps:

Make the Finder the active application by clicking on the Finder icon on the dock.
Select the Go to Folder... menu item that is found under the Go menu.
Enter the following into the dialog box:

Then click on the Go button.
The Finder now has a window open that contains all of the FLDIGI configuration data. Within that window is a macros folder. It is recommended that you make a short-cut/alias to the macros folder by holding down both the option and command keys on the keyboard and then drag the macros folder to the Desktop.
From now on, just double-click on the macros icon on the desktop to access the FLDIGI macros folder.

Welding Pipe Positions Access

“Burn it out, Leo,” the kid whispered.

In plate welding, you can often manipulate the workpiece to keep the weld in a flat or horizontal position. In pipe welding, the workpiece is often fixed, immovable, and massive. This means the welder must move around the pipe, constantly adjusting their body mechanics, electrode angle, and speed to combat gravity. welding pipe positions

The pipe is placed vertically (standing up like a well). The axis of the pipe is vertical. The weld is performed horizontally around the circumference. The Weld: This is a purely horizontal weld . “Burn it out, Leo,” the kid whispered

The is widely considered the true entry into advanced pipe welding. It mimics real-world scenarios where pipes are already installed and cannot be moved. Welding Positions and Rod Angles EXPLAINED This means the welder must move around the

He stopped. If he buried that bubble, the weld would fail in six months. The leak would come back, only bigger. Kincaid was behind him, watching with a flashlight.

Crack. The slag peeled off in a perfect, curling ribbon. He tapped it with his chipping hammer, revealing a root pass so smooth it looked like a stack of dimes.
