First attempt this morning at receiving SSTV signal from the International Space Station. Need to make some adjustments! Doppler effect being one of them. #hamradio

The California earthquake 30 minutes ago was felt by the seismometer at Hobbs State Park (Rogers, Arkansas) about five minutes after it began. #arwx folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu/heli/heli_bb...

Has anyone figured out a way to have a weather station auto-post to Bluesky? Twitter did away with that ability a couple of years ago and I miss getting posts from my station. #arwx

Why is it that in ham radio, you simply get one new component for the station but then end up reconfiguring the whole shack around it and buying/building 6 more things you didn’t realize you needed to accommodate that new component? This weekend, it was a LifePo4 battery. *facepalm*

I've challenged myself to relearn #MorseCode this winter. I'm using G4FON's software, which uses the Koch method. My only complaint is that when you add a character, it doesn't introduce the new character before each practice. Or am I missing that function somewhere? #hamradio

30 years ago today I earned my #hamradio license. This hobby is one of the greatest joys of my life. I’ve learned about places I had never heard of and made contact with people on every continent, in space, in airplanes and on ships at sea. 1/3
