  1. Just saw the June cover of #QST. Once again it does not represent the amateur community at all. A bunch of old white dudes and maybe one older white woman?

    At this point, I really don't think #ARRL is capable of self-reflection. This miss every chance to be a community for everyone, and they keep failing at it.

  7. @HopelessDemigod @k4fmh has suggested doing this. I think for this to happen, someone has to be really committed to pursuing this, and it's just a lot easier to quit the #ARRL and let them wither away.

  8. @ai6yr The incompetence at the #ARRL nowadays is mind-blowing. Here's a button that I just created and plan to hand out at the Dayton Hamvention this year. If you'd like one, send me a buck, and I'll mail you one.

  9. My wife is interested in trying again to study for her #Technician #AmateurRadio license. She finds the standard #ARRL license manual to be boring and dry. Can anyone else out here in #HamRadio land recommend current alternative study materials that are actually interesting and practical along the way?

  10. Boy, the ARRL does not make it easy to figure out what is in their magazine anymore, especially if you're not a current member. It used to be your magazine/newsletter was the way you recruited new members and got the news out about your hobby/cause. I think they decided it's now a profit center. 🤔

    (I admit to letting my membership lapse, because they no longer send magazines unless you pay an additional premium to get the magazine... )

  20. Mentioned to a #HAM friend that now that the weather is turning nice again, I plan to take my #RTLSDR out to somewhere in visual range of BOS and try to pick up some ACARS (I don't have enough sky to pick up any in my apartment)

    And because I started talking about radio stuff to a licensed and experienced radio operator, now I am listening to the #ARRL Heavy Hitters Traffic Net on 146.82 MHz.

    My friend tells me this is a repeater installed in the Prudential Tower and he is somewhere else in the relay chain.

    Here's part of a message readout.

  25. @VE3RWJ "#iCom Takes Over The #ARRL"???????

    Also, I have never seen Icom spelled with a small "iCom." I didn't find that unique spelling anywhere I looked on their US or Japanese websites.

  30. Another #ARRL #Dx #CW contest has concluded. I made a total of 90 contacts with 35 different countries. The bands were hopping this weekend with fantastic propagation! #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  31. So far in this weekend's #ARRL #DX #CW contest, I've worked 20 countries across 32 contacts. Watch hamdash.affirmatech.com/ to see how we're doing with these fantastic #HF conditions. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  32. Its been about 5 weeks since I made any #HamRadio contacts so I'm trying my hand at the #ARRL #DX contest this weekend. #AmateurRadio

  33. @dl2ul
    Ich habe leider, leider damals (2022) keinen Screenshot davon gemacht, stand wortwörtlich auf der Startseite des DCL.
    Die #ARRL juckt das hingegen nicht. Digitalvoice über z. B. 70 cm gilt für's DXCC Diplom. Gut, die sind geschäftstüchtig, schließlich eine AG. Die verkaufen die Diplome auch für teures Geld.

  34. The @arrl #ARRL #StraightKeyEvent Straight Key Event is at 0000 UTC. I'll use my #HeathkitHW8 #HW8 & #BencherStraightKey. Oh, I've got #QRO rigs but why make it easy, when you can make it fun with #QRP. Happy New Year from #Hamonabike #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #MorseCode CW
