  1. Wow check out this patriotic QSL card that popped up in my logging software during a #QSO (callsign and location redacted)

  2. I've built a 70cm/2m duoband Yagi-Uda and while it is not done yet, today I used it to listen to the FM crossband relay on the #ISS.
    This is, by far, more complex than I ever imagined: Watching the phone for the position and frequency, keeping the antenna pointed at the ISS and trimming the frequency on the radio.
    Not sure how I would manage to speak at the same time. (And logging the #QSO would be nice, too.)

  3. Prêt pour le #QSO Nord Ardèche sur 145.5375 MHz en FM

    Tous les jeudis 18h00 heure locale

  4. A break in the storms allowed me to get my 1st 2026 #ssb #qso with Brian #W2BMT
    during his #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #POTA #parksontheair activation from US-8098 & 6532

  5. I'm dreamin' of a white #POTA.
    17% precipitation probability. Worked.
    An unfavourable wind direction blew the snow onto my equipment. So this was a short one. 17 data #QSO on #40m and #15m. Thanks hunters! And happy new year!

  6. Yet another lovely #qso with Helmut dc6ny in Bavaria

    #FreeDV on #qo100 #hamradio

    He hit SNR 7 with his home brew trx and 80 cm dish!

  11. I just finished my first QSO with VE3MJM Don on 2 m via VE3RCK repeater. Not a long distance between us, and especially as he was in the middle of some 30 m FT8 QSOs with operators in Japan, but pretty exciting for me anyway!

  12. okay. I'm looking at pictures of cute #cats on mastodon while listening to #cw #qso in the background... Brides is getting donuts for us to eat with Earl Grey (hot!) tea... I could get right used to this retirement thing.

  13. @IU1KGS

    If the activator and the contact want to try and have a QSO under *the most* challenging conditions, it is no one's place to question that.

    We have a beautiful hobby that is fundamentally about communicating with one another. Sometimes we lose sight of that.

  14. @IU1KGS

    "Should you engage in long winded QSOs during an activation once your correspondent sent you a marginal signal report and they’re not someone you know?"

    This is completely up to the activator. It is their activation to do as they wish.

  15. "На заре уходящей космической эпохи."

    В 2030 году NASA и ряд сотрудничающих с ней организаций других стран планируют вывод МКС из эксплуатации и контролируемое выведение с орбиты с последующим затоплением в отдалённой части океана.

    На смену МКС планируется приход проектов коммерческих компаний.

    Большое событие для всех интересующихся космосом и радиосвязью. Увы, не все радиолюбители успеют провести свои #QSO c #ISS

  16. Colder weather signals #hamradio #amateurradio contest season. Perfect morning to practice hunt and pounce skills with a #ssb #20meter #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Wes @AF0AJ. Thanks for the Cold wet contact on your end.

  17. Had another opportunity to ride the greyline ionospheric Fall Equinox for an Early Bird #pota #parksontheair CW #morsecode #qrp #QSO with Tony #vk3yv Another lucky catch.

  18. Day 2 of pushing the edges of that #hamradio #amateurradio CW #morsecode #QRPp envelope with 17 contacts with less than a watt in 16 minutes with 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Idaho. AWESOME morning fun. Rocky Squirrel is back. No sightings or rumblings of "The Moose" but I thought I saw "Boris and Natasha" sneaking amongst the trees.

  19. 7 back to back QSOs in 40 minutes on 17 m band this evening. Enjoyed every moment of it. There were more stations QRX but I had to go QRT for the day. Its great to unwind working stations on Morse at the end of a day at work.

  20. I love #HamRadio lol

    I went from calling CQ endlessly into the ether, to a pileup, to nothing, twice in the past two hours for the Ohio QSO party, lol

    It's fun to hear the ebb and flow of signals and people on the air 🙂

  21. Windy billowy clouds after early morning storms. Had to guy #buddipoledipole. I had a nice CW #Morsecode #QSO with Dan @kb6nu while he did a #POTA #parksontheair activation at US-1545 Tawas Point State Park on Lake Huron #AmateurRadio #Hamradio

  22. The threat of early morning thunderstorms NOT #geomagneticstorm squelched this morning's #POTA #parksontheair activation but managed to setup #buddipole with #FT891 to hunt. Even got a #SSB #QSO with #W1AW #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  23. It was a 40M @qrplabs #QCXmini #CW #MorseCode & 40m/30m #QDX #FT8 Early Bird 4th of July #POTA #parksontheair activation Almost had some early fireworks display if I only could have completed a FT8 #QSO with Bob @KF0UNK My #QRP signal just didn't have enough oomph to break through the traffic #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  24. The Noise Floor at my #QTH is ALWAYS BAD. Even more so when I go vertical like this morning when attempting some #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #SSB on 20 meters. Not quite as bad using #MorseCode CW @skccgroup #SKCC #QSO Party

  25. Part of this morning's #SKCCGroup #QSO CW Party before the HEAT INDEX of 100 at 1100 EDT (1500 UTC) ran me indoors. Be careful #POTA #parksontheair activators #SKCC #MorseCode #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  27. I was going for a Cup of Joe Patio 40m #SKCCgroup #QSO party contacts with @Buddipole #buddipolepowermini #ft891 but not with a +S9 noise floor. Everyday all at my #QTH #amateurradio #hamradio

  28. Purposely took my #FT817 / #Z817 to use with my #KM4CFT 9:1 UNUN and Random Wire to my Antenna Proving Ground during pretty bad #HFband conditions. I had a short 20M CW #MorseCode #QSO with LJ #KI5GTR. Since it worked today, it will work under most any condition. HOORAY!

  29. Songbirds were a plenty and so were #POTA hunters during the Early Bird #parksontheair activation today like this CW #MorseCode #QSO with Alan #W2AEW #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  30. It always fun to come back to the mode which got me started in #AmateurRadio #hamradio. I try not to stray too far from a #StraightKey #BencherKey #MorseCode CW #QSO during the N2J Special Event on 05292025 I like to dance with the one I came to the party with

  31. I love this little #QRPp CW #MorseCode #Pixie rig. Haven't made a #QSO yet due to operating during contests or inferior #HF band conditions but it was fun to build and is fun to operate. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  32. There's nothing like the SMELL of a #MorseCode pileup in the morning. Its food for the NEURONS. Thanks Howie #AC4FS @howiepepper for hanging there to complete our #POTA #Parksontheair CW #QSO #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  33. Early UTC a.m. @skccgroup #SKCCgroup CW #MorseCode #qso with #N9FZ Cainan. Decided to work on gaining #SKCC Centurion, Tribune, & Senator status. Likely got enough from last year for all but don't feel like going through all my logs .I start over and complete all in 2025. I need more #straightkey #Bug and #Cootie work

  34. Just had a #QSO with XE1UQZ - Victor in Mexico from Olney, IL on 28.450 MHz USB. His latest QSO was with a ham in Los Angeles. #10meters #QSOs #KE0FFTqsos #10m

  35. Des de fa un temps, anys, a vegades escolt aquest grupet d'amics 'roda catalana'
    en QSO a la banda de 40m. LSB, al voltant dels 7.170KHz.
    I sempre hi ha un 'pertorbat mental feixista' que sempre els hi posa musiqueta.
    Pobre personeta.

  36. Noisy CW #MorseCode #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QSO with Bill #K4NYM. Sill not proficient with some characters. Hope to improve that in tonight's @northqrp #NAQCC Sprint Wednesday, December 18, 2024, 0130-0330 Z

  37. 1st CW #MorseCode #QSO after Rewire/Resolder parts of the Audio/Amp Filter board on #TenTec #delta580 to fix audio issues. Still need to fix display issue. Quick #POTA #parksontheair hunt with Gregg #W8GG using my #AmateurRadio #HamRadio Novice key from 1962.
