Logging Ham Radio repeater usage with a Baofeng and Adafruit IO #HamSunday

"The Austin N5OAK Ham Radio Club Repeater seems to be pretty active.  That shouldn’t surprise us much because the club has a lot of activities and a lot of enthusiastic members.  Still, we wondered just how active and opened the spare parts drawer to see if it held a solution."

"Turns out the spare parts drawer did; take a look at the wiring diagram at the top of the page.   We simply used an Espressif ESP32-C3 Dev Board with an input pin wired to to the output speaker of a Baofeng HT tuned to the repeater frequency.  We monitor the C3 input pin and if it sees a signal the repeater in transmitting.  We push that data to Adafruit IO at the top of each hour to graph the history."

Looking for lower cost policy for someone who has weight issue and does not want to take a physical for life insurance and that isn't a scam meaning a policy that doesn't have lots of clauses

Basically, the title is what I'm looking for.

I know people who have weight issues and other health issues but don't want to take a physical. Looking for policies that don't have a lot of clauses where they are paying and their children and or grandchildren won't get anything.

I will give positive rep for good responses as much as I can.
