I did not make any #amateurRadio contacts last night, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a productive session.

I listened to a #CW QSO on 80m that I'm pretty sure was in French. That was cool. And I listened to some QSOs on 40m ... my daily listening practice is def. paying off.

But, now that I can use the computer to send CW I have some confidence that I can get spotted on the RBN reliably, so I mostly spent the time experimenting with calling CQ on various bands and watching the RBN.

La posición del walkie en las salidas al campo

La montaña no negocia señales, ¿cómo podemos optimizar la cobertura durante las caminatas? Con todo preparado, nuestra salida a la montaña tiene un componente extra de preparación…

I pulled every frequency within 100 miles of home from RepeaterBook and had Claude organize them into 391 channels across 17 named memory banks, exported as a CSV for RT Systems. It also designed a two-sided quick reference guide (images).

Best part: I finally get named memory banks on my Yaesu FT5DR.

Has anyone just tried to plug in the cable and see if Claude can program the radio directly??? I may give it a go.

There's something cool about having all your radios turned on in the dark

Last night I gave a 20-minute talk to PART of Westford about island operating: four years of Scout trips to Peddocks Island in Boston Harbor, the US Islands Awards Program, getting there, camping, my gear, and why a short trip feels like a small expedition.

Slides are in the post.

Order has arrived. Each box has a smaller label with an RF chip and antenna on the back. I'll have to do a net search later on to see what band they operate in and see if I have any gear that will allow me to read it.

Edit to add a URL. It appears to be this chip: https://www.arizonrfid.com/shop/az-mr7n-178

Evidence that I'm a radio geek.

TIL that UPS has RFID tracking for some packages. Have a shipment arriving today. Looking forward to playing with the tags about as much as receiving the order.

Hey if one is bored you could use amateur radio to bounce signals off of Venus!

Most ham radio operators will go silent 48 hours after a grid failure. Paper licenses and commercial power won't save us when infrastructure collapses. Build real off-grid capability now. 📻⚡️

I now have my HAM radio license! I’ll be on the airways as callsign KO6PPG. #amateurradio

Two good things that happened.
Installation of Pulse Effects on Debian was successful.
AC DC Bon Scott version is kicking my eardrums asses. Dirty Deeds album to be exact.
A Prolific PL203 usb to serial port adapter was found to work on the Kenwood TS870.
Now computer control and other modes of transmit are opened up for me.

If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

Anyone know how to plug up a ⅜″ hole, though?
