  5. Terrestrial and #SpaceWeather made for an unsuceessful #AmateruRadio #HamRado #POTA #parksontheair activation but as a #hamonabike its always a great day to take in Maother Nature's creatures.

  7. Likely my last #AmateurRadio #HamRado #POTA #parksontheair activation for 2025. Couldn't come at a better time #400 from US-7956. Thanks to all for the help in reaching this milestone. Let's see how long it will take to reach a half kilo in 2026. But look for me in a few days for the ARRL Straight Key Night January 1, 2025, from 0000 UTC through 2359 UTC

  9. I normally don't complain about things out of my control but this has gotten old. Can't do #AmeteurRadio #Hamrado contest or #POTA #parksontheair My Mag Loop at QTH has been disconnected more then I can remember.

  11. Mother Nature is teasing us with this beautiful but a Friday severe WX threat. @Youkits #HB-1B, @Sportys #Kneeboard with #americanmorseequipment #portapaddle continue to get a workout during #AmateurRadio #hamRado #pota #parksontheair CW #morseCode activations this week.

  13. All of my nighttime #ARISS #ISS #SSTV have become a spectator sport with people walking or driving by pointing & looking. Here's my BEST decode from last night #AmateurRadio #HamRado @ARISS_Intl @issfanclub

  15. After fixing audio issues with my Ten Tec Delta 580 and determining display issue, I decided I needed so straight key practice by putting the rig through its CW paces during the SKCC WES Straight Key Century Club Weekend Sprintathon. #AmateurRadio #HamRado #MorseCode #SKCC #SKCCGroup #straightKey #telegraphkey #TenTec #tentecdelta580

  17. The one moving part in my Linksys home router. i.e. the one part that is likely to fail and need to be replaced. Of course, it's attached to the heat sink with screws from the BOTTOM. And there's no practical way to get the heat sink off. (Too many layers of screws, glue like heatsink compound and electrical connectors at 90° angles.). *grumble* #hamrado #elctronics

  18. It is dark and cold and just a few hours short before CQ WPX contest starts. I am out - tuning the 80m antenna. Wish me luck and I’ll see you on the bands later #hamrado #contest #wpx

  20. Built three #hamrado antenna mast prototypes and settling on v3 for now. I'm posting live updates of this build in Cascadia Radio: cascadiaradio.org/join

  22. I really enjoy QRP but when someone leaves a 50-year-old Heathkit kilowatt amp in cruft taking a shot at bringing it back to life is too much of a temptation to let go #hamrado

  23. My antenna gets to see fantastic views, but not enough QSO s. The #rbn #reversebeaconnetwork shows that my QRP signal is perfectly copied all over Europe, but there are no takers. I even heard a Japanese station on 17m, and LU on 10m. So I conclude that the antenna works fine, the bands are open, there is just no activity. Except Ft8. Le sigh.

  25. lasted #QSLcard to arrive for a mini #DXpedition to #Troubridge #Island in the beginning February.

    I made 5 contacts with them, with 3 on #SSB ( 1 x 40m / 2 x 80m)
    2 on #FT8 ( 1 x 40m / 1 x 15m)

  26. Aliexpress USB-C PD negotiation board with an Anderson breakout for a cool 12V power source. How long do you suppose that lipo chonker will power that radio for? #amateurradio #hamrado

  28. Simple truck based #pota activation at two parks. Mill Pond VE-5955 was a 2fer with VE-0023 and Portland Conservation area VE-5957 was a 3fer with VE-4882 and VE-0023. I’m usually a low powered operator with my KX2 and wire in the air but sometimes it’s fun to use the FT-991A and ATAS 120a. The more I use the 991A, the more I like it.

  30. From @K0NR on that other platform:
    Good recent documentary about Amateur Radio. Gotta love that it leads off with #hamrado in space! montanapbs.org/programs/ham/
