My companions for the evening. QSOs tonight on Tevel-3, RS-44, and JO-97. Getting better at manipulating all of the variables for linear transponder operation and getting the tracking pretty well tuned. (Gpredict on Raspberry Pi tucked behind the IC-705 with the battery.)

I’m Luke. I enjoy experimenting with radio and electronics. Mostly active at the moment on satellites and activating/hunting POTA. Recently got interested in VHF grid chasing and went from 1 confirmed grid to VUCC on 6m in right at 30 days. Now working to get satellite VUCC. Other interests are QRP, digital (data and voice modes), microwave networking, kit building, microcontrollers, repeater building, and basically anything else I haven’t tried before.

So I figured I'd put the call out here, because the community has been awesome. I think this could be a way to introduce people to amateur radio in an inclusive way, I think it would be a way to grow the community, and I think it would be great for adding more diverse voices on the air.

So here's my pitch: If you're willing to lend a hand, please feel free to reach out. These classes will likely be online, so if you feel like you can assist, let me know.

'Chasing via a Remote Station'

"This might stir some controversy. It is allowed to chase SOTA via a remote station. I always make sure to say that I'm chasing via remote so there's no confusion for the activator about where I am chasing from. Here I work K7ATN on two SOTA summits in the Portland, OR area.

Thank you to NR7Y for maintaining and giving access to his remote station in Beaverton."

Happy Birthday!

A2: So to preface this, my wife's fafher was a TV broadcast engineer for many years and had his FCC commercial license, designed/built transmitter towers and broadcast control rooms for a local TV station. He died about 4-5 years ago or so.

When I got into , she expressed some interest, as it reminded her of her late father.

So I got her everyone's favorite starter radio, a Baofeng...

...for Valentine's Day.

I'm sure you can guess how that went.

From shopping for used parts in Manhattan's Radio Row, installing a tower single-handedly to the inevitable scaling down of the parts inventory, Tom relates his over 70 year history in ."
