@VE2UWY The criticisms were all in the lab notes section. Overall the review is positive.

Here's a sample copy if anyone's curious. https://drive.proton.me/urls/JA1MJMWQ8M#P82l4nZa1ysR

Here's the Groups.io response. Looks like Hans has joined the #ARRL as a result lol. https://groups.io/g/QRPLabs/topic/120086177#msg174353

#QMXplus #QRPLabs #HamRadio

Whoo boy, the new QST rips the #QMX+ on its six meter performance and says it “should not be used to transmit anywhere on that band” because of its spurious emissions. That’s not even all they complained about.

That will put a wet blanket on your magic July propagation. I may have to fire up groups.io to see the response.

#ARRL #FieldDay 2026 is in the books. 115 QSOs, 55 unique grids, and 5 unique DX entities.

Surprisingly most QSOs were on 15m, with most phone contacts on 40m.

36 phone, 79 FT8. CM98 was the busiest grid with six QSOs total.

I hope everyone is having a happy ARRL Field Day this weekend!

Anyone else going to Hamvention this weekend? #hamradio #arrl #hamvention

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.

April 18th is World Amateur Radio Day!

"Every April 18, radio amateurs worldwide take to the airwaves in celebration of World Amateur Radio Day. It was on this day in 1925 that the International Amateur Radio Union was formed in Paris."

@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.

@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.

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?

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... )
