We incubated more Quail eggs, out of 29, we got ten chicks that are now almost two weeks old. Some of the eggs I used were sitting on the counter for nearly a month, so I’m sure that’s why the low hatch rate. #birds #birdsofbluesky #quail

I was working 10 meters (28.360 USB) today and got another state on my list of contacts. Alaska, which is normally fairly difficult to get. It seems my simple vertical and the TS-690 will get the job done.

Remember this day.

The last full day with a Democratic President.

We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

I’m now the proud caretaker of a Kenwood TS-690S. Fully loaded. I’m enjoying this radio quite nicely. I can add 6 meters into the mix now. #hamradio #kenwood

Turns out, my power supply works great as a bread proofer too! 🤣🤣

Am I unapologetically wearing my Christmas Sweater to work today? Yes, Yes, I am. No fucks given.

Update on the hen pecked Quail rooster. He’s gaining more feathers by the day. He’s looking so much better, but still has a long way to go.

Moved the radios around. Pardon the post move mess.

The Yaesu got moved across the room and got wall mounted with the control head on one of the monitors.

The Kenwood is staying where it is in anticipation of upgraded/newer equipment to play with.

Say hello Alfie. This pretty bird is nearly 50 and lives with my parents. This was a rare moment where he was in the cage. We've had him since I was a teenager (30+ years ago). He does talk, whistle, make random noises. He's hilarious and very much a member of the family. #Birds #parrot

Nice clean install in the Jeep. Someone removed the overhead console before I bought the Jeep, leaving the gaping hole between the visors. Made the perfect spot to hang the QYT 980D. #hamradio

I was cleaning the cage and this little one was yelling at me the entire time. #birds #quail

We have one isolated bird due to him being picked on by the others. He’s already regrowing feathers, but doesn’t like being alone. Sorry buddy, we need you fully feathered and healthy. #addbirder #birds #quail

Cage cleaning day. Time to scrape bird shit for hours on end. #quail #birds

Found a Grid Square net this morning. Contact out of Pennsylvania. EN90uq. Pretty good for an older rig, running 100watts Barefoot. Gotta love the Kenwood TS430. Solid rig. #HAMradio #amateurradio

I was looking back a bit and now, a year after obtaining my Technician License I realize how far along I've come with my HAM radio experience.

I run a local net once a month (Pacific County ARES. This net happens weekly). Also an ANCS for Western Washington District 3.

Certainly an interesting day here. It’s turned north, towards Tokeland/Grayland/North Cove area. Our warning for this area has expired.

Currently monitoring my local radio network (Beachnet) for any ARES activations.

I had a radio contact ask me what the bird noise in my background was. Off you hear birds in my background during a contact, I have a small indoor quail farm, right behind the radio desk.
