  1. I need another #Allstar node number, but the info from allstarlink.org isn't clear to my age-addled brain.

    I currently have node 65527. I want to build another node that will be radioless using the Allscan audio interface and more or less permanently connected to my current one.

    If I understand things correctly, this will convert my current node to 655270 and the new one will be 655271. Is that right? Is there a way to preserve the original node number?

  2. Wow. I just learned via Reddit that there are people in #hamradio who identify themselves as "MARGA" - Make Amateur Radio Great Again. That is abysmal.

  3. All set for a field day, the aim is to test a home-brewed vertical coil (have an EFHW as backup) with the QMX and zbitx v1, test-driving a Gigaparts POTA20 mast, and the portable ESP32 powered HAM Clock I’ve been working on with the local club. In case, all goes well, might attempt a POTA.

  8. 99th #POTA activation of DE-0192 in the morning. This time doing digi modes on #20m. Plus #hamradio QSO for the trainee once more.
    16 QSO in the end. We packed our stuff when we thought it's gonna be too hot.
    Thanks hunters!

  9. What a pleasant surprise on 30 meters during this morning's #amateurradio #hamradio #qrp #parksontheair #pota #morsecode CW activation. I was able to catch a BIG fish from down under #vk4fw. From Kentucky, USA to Australia. #solarcycle25 is not done yet. 😊

  14. Stop guessing your signal strength. 📡 Dive deep into the brutal logic of the decibel and learn why the logarithmic scale is the only way to master the airwaves. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #RFPhysics 🎙️

  15. Huge congratulations to our member Slipwolff EI2KSB, on getting their own amateur radio callsign. 🎉📻

    Here they are calling into the @ei0irts News from the club station. It is always great to see more people getting active on the air and joining in with the wider amateur radio community.

    We look forward to hearing EI2KSB on the bands plenty more from here on out.

  20. This weekend's haul wasn't too bad for how terrible conditions were. Propagation was pretty horrible, but still managed about 50 contacts. Can the sun please chill out a bit?

  23. Geez. 30 meters is just dead right now, even though according to the ReverseBeacon Network, propagation is decent. #hamradio #amateurradio

  28. Electricians were doing work at the house today which required cutting off all power so I seized the chance to check RF noise on the bands.

    Really not much of interest, which is good. First (possibly left depending on your client) image is with power off, second power on. All bands were similar. Basically boring.

  29. #today

    Bought some #mending glue tape so I can better patch the trousers that my fat arse split this morning, and also begin attacking the rest of the decades-old mending pile.

    I'm enrolling on a fresh #hamradio course so I can rejoin the airwaves.

    There's a powerful 18" floor fan by the window keeping me cool right now, as it's like a greenhouse upstairs.

    Trying to give away a double bed with a marginal #woodchip frame, if anyone can be persuaded to #refurbish it somehow? Thoughts please

    What kind of things do you like to make?
    • I like to design objects in openSCAD.
    • I like to write. Both code and prose.
      -- Code: I like to write HDL, low-level C, and CAS (Mathematica my beloved)
      -- Prose: Science fiction is my favorite thing to write, but i share little online.
    • I like repraps, printing, and recycling unused filament.
    • I like to make or modify existing things into music equipment.
    • I like to make music, of course. Heavily inspired by the Dada movement.
    • I have enjoyed designing antennas. I am a ham radio operator. Extra class into: Digital modes (including CW), SSB, moonbounce, ion ducting HF, satcomms, homebrew, QRP, and DX (iykyk). Bored by handshake contests.
    • I like to make silly parody edits of comics.
    • Most of all, I like to make people laugh.
