Here comes part 2 of my MeshCore Repeater series! In this series, I show you how I built a repeater using components I already had.

The grid will fail. Your Baofeng won't save anyone. 📡 Real amateur radio operators build Winlink nodes, AREDN mesh networks, and engineered antennas BEFORE the crisis hits — because when the silence comes, performance is all that remains. Are you built for it? 💪 #HamRadio #EMCOMM #GridDown

@allianceradio I see potential in the #makermovement and in #emcomm. My students really responded well to #emergencycommunications lesson.

Hey @allianceradio check this out

MeshCore SAR – The final hurdle has been reached for MeshCore

I did a post about a week back when I started investigating a possible migration from Meshtastic radio to MeshCore radio network. I won't repeat that post here, but I'll mention two issues that often came up about MeshCore, and why this is just no longer true.

Myth 1: MeshCore is not open source...

I've build a off-grid repeater for Meshcore. And here is a video about it.

🇨🇦📡 WHEN GOVERNMENTS PULL THE PLUG — HAM RADIO PICKS UP THE MIC.
On March 16th, 2026, Canada permanently shut down Weatheradio Canada. 186 transmitter sites. 50 years of service. Gone overnight. Their replacement? A smartphone app.
But here’s the hard truth that no government app can fix.
When a tornado touches down in rural Manitoba — cell towers fail. When floodwaters sweep through Saskatchewan — power grids collapse. When wildfires cut off northern communities — the internet disappears. And in that exact moment of crisis, the WeatherCAN app becomes a useless black screen.
This is precisely where amateur radio operators step in.
Canadian hams are already organizing severe weather watching networks using IRLP — linking repeaters and stations across entire provinces to relay real-time storm information when every commercial system goes dark. No towers needed. No internet required. No subscription. No outage.
Just trained operators, reliable equipment, and an unwavering commitment to keeping communities informed and alive.
Radio Amateurs of Canada called this closure a serious public safety concern. We agree. Because history proves it every single time — hurricanes, floods, wildfires, earthquakes — ham radio operators are ALWAYS the last ones standing when infrastructure collapses.
When the grid fails — we don’t.

I love how Coding agents allow me to implement the crazy ideas in my head! Checkout my TUI (Terminal UI) client for APRS. It now supports #digirig #mobilinkd and #direwolf. Check it out https://github.com/eusef/eusef-aprs-tui.

JS8Call im Notfunk – wir suchen 3–4 Funkamateure, die diese digitale Betriebsart für die überregionale Notfunkkommunikation (Distrikt/Bund/international) testen und bewerten. Auch auf IARU-R1-Ebene wird JS8Call für EMCOMM diskutiert – wir wollen anschlussfähig sein. Interesse? → [email protected]

That said. I’m turning on my radio and I will be monitoring 146.52 MHz for any #emcomm traffic

That said, I'll be monitoring 146.52 MHz and handle any traffic #emcomm or not.

Too many HOAs are trying to silence amateur radio operators with antenna bans and other restrictions, cutting off innovation, communication, and even emergency readiness.

I wrote about why this matters and how you can help change it -> https://kj5fte.radio/dont-let-hoas-silence-ham-radio/

We can’t let HOAs turn the airwaves into dead air. Send your letter and make some noise. 📡

Première journée du Field Day 2025 ! Les opérations ont débuté à 14 h et se poursuivront jusqu’à demain 14 h. La pluie était au rendez-vous aujourd’hui, mais le plaisir est bien présent !

The #HamChallenge this week: Do a contest.

As a new ham, it's hard to imagine ever taking contests that seriously. I like that more people are on the air. I dislike communication as competition.

Nevertheless I had fun doing my first not-a-contest recently: Winter Field Day 2025!

I did all 8 highly contrived QSOs on VHF/UHF. I (unsuccessfully) activated a POTA spot and hunted (a successful) POTA activation.

@wdlindsy too many #trumpers in my local #hamRadio clubs for me to see them as #safeplaces. #ARES #RACES particularly so. (#CERT, not so much because it largely led by #blackwomen & run by #FEMA). How would they respond to communications #emergenies in 75% #AfricanAmerican #princegeorgescounty? I began to lose interest in local #emcomm years ago when "teammates" indicated that they wouldn't #volunteer in #sketchyneighborhoods 🙄. #america is #sketchyneighborhood for #blackfolks.🤔 #blackmastodon

Had a great time providing radio communications at the #HeadOfTheCharles Regatta the past 3 days. Relatively uneventful for me aside from a few out of tent responses.

Farpoint Farms (Erik) on YouTube makes a good case for why we all might want to consider owning an old-fashioned analog #scanner for use during emergencies - even if most of the comms around you have moved over to digital ~ #EMCOMM #Helene #DisasterCommunication #Hurricane2024 #HamRadio #AmateurRadio ~ https://youtu.be/BX7EH708Jd0?si=jZDKYIv9dsPRaoye
