  1. Hello amateurs, this is a #QST. I'm writing a presentation on #amateurradio and #careers and I'd appreciate your best thinking on the #skills you gained in #hamradio that you found useful in your careers. TNX ES 73

  2. Just saw the June cover of #QST. Once again it does not represent the amateur community at all. A bunch of old white dudes and maybe one older white woman?

    At this point, I really don't think #ARRL is capable of self-reflection. This miss every chance to be a community for everyone, and they keep failing at it.

  3. The #radcom letters page is always a nutter magnet, but this month—now that antennagate is over—we have the holy trinity of

    ✅ climate change denial;
    #FT8 hate-whinging; and
    ✅ a healthy smattering of ‘sorry but…’.

    Is #QST the same? Enquiring minds need to know!

  4. When I used to listen to #QST in the 1980s, I remember an article about Gravity Gradient Modulation and another about an extremely powerful antenna made from a superconductor. I particularly remember being easily able to figure out the GGM article was bunk due to the references about using antimatter and describing how easy it was to obtain. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  5. BTW I got started by reading #QST at the library. Shout out to #MontclairPublicLibrary in Montclair NJ!

  6. ARRL Logbook of the World Returns to Service

    July 1, 2024

    Effective 12:00pm ET / 16:00 UTC we will be returning Logbook of The World® (LoTW®) to service.

    As work progressed on the network, some users encountered LoTW opening briefly during which some 6600 logs were uploaded. The logs were not processed until this weekend as we tested that the interface

  7. Sensorimotor #polyneuropathy may be common in treated autoimmune thyroiditis, but, unlike in other causes of #neuropathy (e. g. #diabetes), it has a unique pattern in quantitative sensory testing (#QST) with low thresholds for mechanical and thermal pain.

  8. #QST:

    I just received an email & proof showing #EA1DJ is an impostor Spanish amateur radio station.

    José's friend (also a ham) is handling his amateur radio communications because, unfortunately, José is a silent key. Evidentially, someone is pirating José's call.

    I worked the fake in September and sent a #QSL card - which is how I learned of the #fraud. Should you encounter this station, avoid it and, certainly, do not waste postage on sending something out.

  9. Read more about the 40th Anniversary of Amateur Radio in Human Spaceflight, ARISS-USA Executive Director Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, covers history between ham radio and human spaceflight in “Celebrating 40 Years of Amateur Radio on Human Spaceflight Missions” in the Feb. issue of #QST

  10. I'm listening to this #RATPAC presentation on the #ARRL and I'm finding it all quite discouraging. All I know is this: I can't abide a CEO who thinks providing #blind members only #QST summaries rather than full articles like everyone else constitutes #accessibility diversity and inclusion. I'm still a member, but I think it is long past major organizational cultural change so that everyone feels included rather than left out. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

  11. It appears the #ARRL is busy stirring up a hornet's nest, they apparently are going to start charging their Life Members for paper copies of #QST... $48/year. Lots of those Life Members specifically subscribed assuming they would get the magazine for free. #hamradio

  12. I just setup server rules, a welcome page, a #qst channel, etc. We actually look like a real Discord instance now!

    ...then, tell me whether the new-user process worked for you. Thanks for helping me test. 🙂

  14. @savetz Congratulations! That sounds like a fantastic project. I don't have any particular materials for you, though I know there are people out there with amazing collections of #QST and such. You might get in touch with #ARRL and other national organizations worldwide also.
