Factist anti-fascist. Riding the waves of amateur radio. Building Triangle Mutual Aid Communications.

I don't follow back much because I pretty much see all the toots on this instance and on the ham-related hashtags I follow. Or I may follow back from another account that's less ham-centric. This me is pretty much all ham radio. It's my way to escape a brutal world.

Just once this summer I’d like to remember everything necessary to do 6m FT8 on my lunch break. This time twas grabbing the QDX instead of the QMX+, which is the one that does 6 meters 🤦🏻‍♂️ Did catch a good net, the weekly Triangle Mutual Aid net, controlled by @mbroome@infosec.exchange and co-staring @llorenzin@infosec.exchange and @beckett@triangletoot.party ❤️🖤 #HamRadio #nets #6m #6meters #PLOTA #HuntLibrary #MutualAid

RE: @vk6flab@mastodon.radio

What does the fediverse use for #QSL logging, if not LotW? I get more international QSOs confirmed on QRZ. I have a Club Log account but I have’t actively used it.

I was away from HF for 9 months and coming back to LotW is definitely a drag.

Just heard a young new ham hitting a repeater for the first time with a new radio, saying she was nervous to make contacts.

Guy says, "Is this your first QSO, then?"

She says, "Well no, when I first got my tech and general, I checked into an Esperanto net."

Now THAT is someone who knows what to do with their new license! 😂 Where can I hear this net??

@M0YNG@mastodon.radio I'm all for building additional networks we can work into a PACE plan, and I have personally invested time and money in building out Meshcore repeaters. Any tech has to start somewhere. But I just want us to have substantive discussions about the limitations of this project and not just the fun parts.

RE: @sirhopcount@fosstodon.org

🫨: Hey everyone, get a companion, put up a repeater, and install Meshcore NOW! It's for emergencies!

🙋‍♂️ : Well, it's not open source and everyone was pushing us to install Meshtastic a year ago. Is this mature enough for that kind of investment?

🫨 : NOW! Help or don't!
