I managed to work the USS TENNESSEE on 20M. Mission accomplished for the museum weekend. I'll try for more but several others couldn't hear me. #hamrado
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.

Got the old FT-817 powered up testing a battery and heard a station from Israel calling CQ on 10m, didn't think I'd work him with about 4W on ssb but got a 57 report, really pleased with that π #hamrado
lasted #QSLcard to arrive for a mini #DXpedition to #Troubridge #Island in the beginning February

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
Seems a lot of people enjoy extremely accurate one second beeps. Bet yβall listened to numbers stations too. π»

During Field Day 2021 I used hz.tools/{sdr,fm} and some glue code to try and participate by transmitting using a HackRF (with a bandpass and amp to bring me up to 0.1Watt, and an antenna up outside) attached to a Raspberry Pi to transmit over the network, and listen on an RTL (also using #hztools)
I made a confirmed #hamrado QSO with a member of my club a bit over 6 miles away, simplex, and have checked into a weekly net doing the same.
One of my requirements for a #HamRado digital voice hotspot is Ethernet. I do not wish to introduce any more latency into the signal path than is already there.
The Euronode fits that bill, as does the Moonraker Firespot. https://moonrakeronline.com/us/dvmega-euronode-hotspot
Recently picked up a Yaesu FTM 6000 with the intent of putting it in the car. Haven't done much with it yet but so far my impression is meh. #hamrado #AmateurRadio #yaesu
Good news ! #70Mhz band is open for #hamrado in Switzerland (only HB9) from 1 janvier 2023. π

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. Iβm usually a low powered operator with my KX2 and wire in the air but sometimes itβs fun to use the FT-991A and ATAS 120a. The more I use the 991A, the more I like it.

From @K0NR on that other platform:

Well, I'm here. Can't get my profile photo or header to upload. I'll try that later. I'd love to find other people interested in #geocaching #hamrado #Svengoolie #nostalgia and more. And I have no idea what I'm doing.

Who else running #OpenMDUV380 on their #Retevis #RT3s? I am enjoying it on mine as I do with #OpenGD77 on my #Radioddity #GD-77.
