#ham — Public Fediverse posts

I mean I am more or less half way through my 30s isn't it about time I became a #HAM and got a license and throw my life away in that hobby?

A friend just alerted me of this US Amateur Radio Technician class so I'm sharing it for those who might be interested.

What if you could build a wonderful SWR/Power meter instead of buying a commercial one. Keeping the hobby alive, one project at a time.  #hamradio #ham #radioamateur #AmateurRadio https://pd1sco.kalf.org/post/lj2000m-swr-power-meter/

Macht es Sinn, den SDRplay RSP1B auszutauschen gegen ein Airspy HF+ Discovery, wenn es um den Empfang von Langwelle und Längstwelle geht? Ich denke ja, die Rausche ist viel niedriger. Hier im städtischen Störnebel zu diesem "da draußen" sind bis zu 25 dBi Unterschied. Und hier ist der Airspy schon deutlich besser. Wenn ich der Anzeige trauen kann und die Werte eines anderen Menschen gesehen habe, könnte SAQ hören bei nächsten mal klappen.

Help me! I'm undecided which call sign to apply for...

I think I will mostly use digital and QRP radio, no CW.

Please vote, comment your decision and boost across the ham radio community!

TNX & 73!

I'm in Germany, and got to use my German call sign for the first time.

Improvised setup with a 1.6m Comet antenna on the roof, QMX+ radio transceiver with 5W output, Macbook Air M1 with Asahi Linux.
Connections to 9 different countries.

Näin viikonloppuna Magdalena Abakanowiczin tekstiiliveistoksia HAMissa

Olisin halunnut koskea kankaisia abakaneja, tai enemmän, heittäytyä niiden varaan. (No, en heittäytynyt.)

Materiaali vaikuttaa hurjasti siihen, mitä teos esittää. Kangas suojaa, lämmittää, koskettaa, on pehmeä ja taipuisa, likellä elävän olennon kosketusta (ainakin verrattuna lasiin, metalliin, kiveen).

Huomasin vaikuttuvani jopa mustista teoksista (en pidä mustasta, minusta se imee energian). Mutta näissä mustissa oli valtavasti voimaa. Ja musta oli ennen kaikkien juhlien väri, myös ilojuhlien, häissä morsian pukeutui mustaan.

Kankaiden lisäksi veistoksissa on köysiä. Ensimmäisestä, kädenpaksuisesta ja ylhäällä koukussa roikkuvasta, tuli mieleen hirttokäysi (jollain tapaa uhkaava), mutta köysi on myös yhdistävä, ankkuroiva, kasassa pitävä.

The annual GNU Radio Conference has a proud tradition of offering #ham exams during the conference! One half-day, there's an examiner team, allowing you to get #hamradio licensed in the US.
At this year's #GRCon26 , that is slanted to take place on Thursday afternoon.

So, honestly, if you have a solid background in radio technology, you might start preparing for the exam during your journey to #Raleigh, and do the exam straight away. So did many before you!

#Yaesu #FT290 display replaced with an OLED, driven by an #Arduino can even add CTCSS! The old wiring is incredibly fragile and breaks easily - pictures of each stage were vital. Very hard work, but worth it. #ham #radio

I’m back to trying to learn to send Morse Code. I can pretty much mind-copy 20wpm, but sending is something that’s eluded me. My timing is off. That’s why I’m bad at music.

Зачем вообще нужен этот ваш ITAM?

Директор по ИТ отвечает за технику, которую не может ни посчитать, ни показать. Лицензии в почте, железо в кладовке, учёт в головах. Приходит проверка — спорить нечем. Приходит финдир — доказать нечем. Разбираем, зачем нужна система учёта активов и при чём тут контроль, деньги и полномочия.

5 Poems by Carl Bernard Schwartz

I ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH

While I have taken classes
or been otherwise exposed to

English, Latin, Spanish, 
German, Hebrew, Yiddish,
Roman and Arabic numerals, 
Logic – Formal Reasoning,
Civil Procedure Before Trial,
and Adaptive PE

I just don’t seem to have
the brain power to
intelligently
converse in 
anything 
but 		English


And Latin is now all in 
past tense, anyway
isn’t it?

~~

CHOICES, CHOICES

Each holiday season,
my late wife and I would
bring home a spiral-sliced ham

This year, I decided to try
something different, so I
sampled the Birming Ham
and the Got Ham

But again, the spiral-sliced
ham won the day for having 
meat we wanted to eat

~~

I LOOK AWAY WHEN I COMB MY BEARD

Watch a lot of TV,
primarily news
shows that use 
close-ups of 
male and 
female
newscasters 
so one sees a 
nice smile despite 
abundant makeup

then they pan down
and show the 		neck
which makes one
think turtle as 
it betrays 
wrinkles 
that must 
be hundreds 
of years older			
than that smile

~~

SHAPED BY THE PAST

My dearest
parents 
resisted
the keen
pressure
applied by
domineering
relatives
who never
had kids,
to help 
raise the
ones in
our
household,

these kin
would
approach
our doorstep
with the 
vivacity of
door-to-door 
salesmen
so the front 
door was
basically
kept 
bolted shut
to block out 
unwelcome
visitors

thus if it
seems like
my social
skills are
shallow, 
that’s 
because 
the brain
cells that
would hold
such 
experience
were left
dormant
in my
head

I 
could
be the
world’s
greatest 
host, but
I’d rather
		not
deal 
with
that

~~

FOR LOVE OF BOOKS

There was a 
small
library branch
very near 
the elementary
school I 
attended.
I would
pop in there
almost daily
and check
out a book

cumulatively
I read all
their science 
fiction books
and all their
whaling adventure
books, and
elsewhere
bought paperback
editions of 
Tom Swift
Huckleberry Finn,
etc., etc.
then I matriculated
to junior and senior
high school,
which imposed
some very heavy
textbook 
assignments
 on 			different
subjects, all
of which was
required reading,
and this 
extinguished
the flame that
had inspired my
recreational
reading		until
I concluded college,
started earning
money
and finally had
the time and
wherewithal
to resume my
recreational 
reading
I bought a book
by a bestselling
author on preorder
read it cover to cover
in one sitting 
like I had used to
casually read those 
library books,
sitting in a park
while shucking
and nibbling
sunflower seeds;
more recently
I poured over a
couple books
of poetry  
hence my 
personal library
is once again
growing

I had a successful 'POTA activation": I did sit down in a park, deployed radio transceiver and antenna, and had connections with >10 remote stations.

This combines what I learned in the last years.
Details on the used tech - I'm just scratching the ice berg though - are here:

I had to paste that in to an online Morse Code decoder but I did try using the masto translate function first 🙃

tbh I’m kind of surprised that masto #HAM nerds haven’t already added it as a translatable “language” 🤪
 
 
 
yes, masto HAMs, I am trying to #NerdSnipe you… 😆
