just got weird looks and chuckles from all my coworkers after telling them about how I had a ham radio activated coffee machine back in like 2010
what, that's not a normal thing?
it was an old GE Phoenix SX with one channel programmed on it, rigged up to trigger a latching relay that'd power up the coffee pot. As I approached the office I'd just key up on that frequency with the right PL tone (and of course say my callsign at the end) and I'd have fresh coffee when I got in
