Sometimes I think I have too much time on my hands ...
Get better sound from your Mobile Ham Radio. Those tiny speakers in some mobile rigs just can't cut it in the mobile environment, and who wants a clunky old separate speaker kicking around in your front seat area, ripping your pants (or your shins) to pieces? Besides, they really don't sound that much better anyway! Sometimes I want to use a hand-held rig in the car too. But the speaker in my hand-held units is almost never adequate in the noisy environment of an automobile. Some years ago, I purchased a pair of 3” wide-range speakers that were a perfect fit in some un-used speaker mounts in my Olds 98. I connected them to my VHF rig, and I liked the way these speakers sounded so much that when I got rid of the car I kept them. Here’s a few more of my solutions to the problem.

Need to weatherproof an indoor webcam for use outdoors? I recently purchased a wireless internet webcam.
