Converting my third and final Velop to OpenWrt.

I read a couple of papers dealing with Ordovician period geology and paleontology.

Evidence suggesting that earth had a ring during the Ordovician, Andrew G Tomkins, Erin L Martin, Peter A Cawood, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 646 (2024)118991

Understanding the Great Ordovician Biodiversity Event (GOBE): Influences of paleogeography, paleoclimate, or paleoecology?, Thomas Servais, David A.T. Harper, Jun Li, Axel Munnecke, Alan W Owen, Peter M Sheehan, GSA Today, April/May 2009

This project went better than my first time around, where I had to fiddle a lot to get the third radio working.
