I’m VERY excited that Drum Corps International is coming back to Nebraska. It has been many years, during which we’ve primarily gone to Fort Collins to see it. Troopers, Cavs, Blue Devils… It’s going to be an excellent show. https://www.dci.org/news/drums-across-nebraska-omaha-ne/

Welp. My 50th trip around the sun is complete. It’s always fun to hear from family and friends to celebrate the beginning of another orbit. 🎂

Some friends and I had a fantastic #winterfieldday weekend at a state park cabin. How many radios do 3 people need? 30ish? 😂 We used meshtastic, erected a variety of wire, horizontal and loop antennas, used phone modes, data modes and cw/morse code and much more. Can’t wait for next year! #hamradio

Oh my gosh, I remember lusting after this when I was a kid at Sears — It’s as awesome as I remember it youtu.be/UlRyE4ru1S8?...

Mattress Firm: “You the type that drives on the shoulder and holds up emergency traffic, or takes off their socks and rests their feet on the airplane armrest in front of you? You’re our people!!”

“Let’s give things to the Lord above for Santa Claus comes tonight”… is there another Christmas song that mashes up the religious and the secular as much as this?

Nerd #hamradio fun tonight… aimed the yagi antenna at the ISS and pulled a SSTV image off of it. Hoping to get some better ones with higher passes over the weekend. www.ariss.org

Hey there, Bluesky! I made a game for us to play. It's called Common Answers. The goal is to guess the most common answer to each of 10 questions. Give it a try and see how you do!

It's more fun when more people play. Can we top 100 players? Please share it!
