Ham radio and such things. Late of x-twitter. Out of practice VE. QTH DM14sc
For some reason I'm curating 4 ham radio feeds these days & one for the Morongo Basin (Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, 29 Palms, etc); please see https://bit.ly/4bDVT5G for details.

For some reason this photo makes me think about making s'mores. 🙂

Most likely I'd be down the hill with a heavy cooler full of groceries on the bike. Failing snagging a mercy truck ride, I'd probably try to snag a friend with a car. I'd have them take the cooler and the bike battery which would remove at least 25 pounds of the load.

Yeah I've got a cargo bike. Walk it home is the plan, if unsuccessful begging a friend with a pickup truck for a ride. I always take my phone.
I couldn't do that much uphill peddling on a normal bike.

Okay NOW 60 years later I get a bit on The Andy Griffith Show.
Barney's landlady confronts him in his rented room about his rule-breaking. She finds a light bulb in his lamp that is more than the allowed wattage and unscrews it. Barney yells "Bulb snatcher!" at her. Had to be a reference to this. 😃

Use "study mode" or "read questions" to be sure you see all the questions (not "practice test" which will only give you a subset)

I don't know about youtube courses, that's a good question. You might try hamstudy.org which is primarily designed as a flash-card type study, but for each question you can "click the corner" and get at least some explanation for the theory behind it.

That's a lot! I've had 4 since June.
My qrz posted email is a disposable forwarding address. So I'll probably deactivate that one and put up a fresh one, see how long that lasts. Should be good for a while, depending how often they scrape qrz for emails.

Back around the late '90s, I believe it was, the FCC announced that they were finally turning up some degree of electronic access (to what functions exactly, I have forgotten)... via dial-up modem. I shit you not. I was like; wut?

This would let me eliminate dupe posts coming from sources like ap.brid.gy that typically mirror posts already showing up in the feed from bluesky native accounts.
Thank you!
