I've been asked a bunch of times to write up my "QSO in a Kilo(gram)" ham radio kit that is light enough to just drop into my computer bag and have with me to deploy at a moment's notice.
I kept not writing it up because I haven't taken all the opportunities to make it even lighter and wanted to try just one more thing โ which was silly. I can always make another blog post, or edit this one.
Everything (beyond what I already carry with me) that I need to work 60m to 15m CW, digital, or SSB, in less than 1kg, with options and redundancy. (Digital and SSB are theoretical so far; I've literally only ever done Morse code on this radio.)

I have released WaveLogGoat v0.3.0 with all the rest of @DJ7NT's fixes and improvements that he'd reasonably given up on PRing back to me when I didn't notice that github wasn't telling me about PRs in my own project. ๐ญ
The headline feature is TLS support for the websocket connection.
Power reporting for hamlib should also work normally now.
If you want a GUI, use WaveLogGate โ it changed from an Electron app to a Go/Wails app so it is no longer a resource hog.
But if you like command-line, textual configuration, and something designed to run nicely as a systemd user unit? WaveLogGoat might be just your thing.

๐ฅณ ๐ ๐ My first #HamRadio QSO via #MercuryModem: Today, 2026-08-30, on 144167 kHz, distance 2,6 km. CQ 13:38:20 UTC, ARQ connection established 13:40:50, we (somewhat superfluously) exchanged SNR and acknowledge SNR reception via data, which was completed by 13:52:26, than we had more fun until 14:54:18.
Initial rapports were SNR 10.1 and -1.5 dB; the latter improved considerably later by a better RX antenna on my side and decreased TX audio level on my friend's TX side.
A happy day for me! ๐

Propagation today is pretty much zero. Ended up doing a little digital..which was also quiet. Got at least a few contacts for today, but most was yesterday. I think I really need to get my EFHW antenna up a bit higher though.

The advantage of #POTA is you visit nature and nature visits you.
Today 56 QSO on 5 different bands.
Thanks hunters!

QRV CW 14.058.5 right now but I keep getting chased off every clear spot I find by contesters with big mouths and small ears...
I got one QSO on 40m hunting, then had no luck busting pile-ups on 20m because they were deep. So I figured that running would be an easy way to make the activation quickly.
So far two more QSOs in an hour. From NC to Newfoundland, then hunting FL. Plenty of spots on RBN so I'm getting out.
N1MBT called me presumably from ME but then disappeared despite several minutes of trying to call back, so I'm guessing QSB is really strong.

Heute erstes QSO in C4FM รผber DB0BLO. Funktioniert gut aber ich muss HF-Power auf high (5 Watt) einstellen, sonst meldet die Gegenstation Aussetzer. Typisch Digital Funk. Habe aber auch nur die Gummiwendelantenne benutzt. Ansonsten lรคsst sich das Handfunkgerรคt Yaesu FT-70 DE intuitiv gut bedienen. Neu fรผr mich, Anzeige des Callsign der Station usw.

One of the many things I like about #hamradio is that I can have a few FT8 QSOs, which are in no way conversational, and then in total contrast have lovely long chats with M7ERQ (Mandy) and M0PVN (Paul) on 2m FM.
Diversity is good. -

Three good things for today:
1) I finally connected to two different Winlink Remote Mail Servers, one in Texas and one in Nevada, on the 20 m band. I now have a proven system as long as the ionosphere cooperates
2) My dog lead us on a completely different walk today than weโve ever taken in the neighbourhood. He had a plan
3) it was cool enough outside to comfortably do some yard work
