  5. Just checked in to the #FediFridayWinlinkNet this week. I did a double check-in: APRS and Telnet both done via a Raspberry Pi4 using both PAT Winlink client and Graywolf the APRS client; both are brilliant, and both can run side by side on a Pi

  17. I remember some previous question, poll, or maybe a #ffwn asking whether you continue doing outdoor radio all year round despite the weather. Now that I'm nearing the end of my awful challenge, I thought I'd run the numbers, and it turns out... I do *way* less outdoor radio in the summer than other seasons. Guess I have better things to do? 😆
