Is there a remote-controlled HF station down in Australia that I can use with my VK callsign?

Attention Pride Radio Network users: I was banned from Echolink over a simple policy disagreement. Both nodes for my part of the system deleted by Echolink itself. I will attempt to get the ban lifted. For now, please use one of the Australian nodes if you wish to connect.

Wow, I just got banned from Echolink for simply telling support that I didn't agree with their one callsign per user policy, such petty people. I'm demanding my access to Echolink be restored.

Seriously, Echolink? WTF? How am I supposed to use my valid callsign? They need to change this absurd policy!

#hamradio #amateurradio #echolink
Subject Validation of VK5OMO We have received a request to validate a second callsign for you. We only validate one callsign per user. Please read # 9 on our Access Policies web page. http://www.echolink.org/access_policies.htm Our policy is to validate only one callsign per user - - in single user mode. If you have forgotten your password for your other callsign, please see http://www.echolink.org/validation/ pw_enail.jsp A screenshot of the contents of the email Echolink sent me.

Ok, I applied for my Aussie call sign. It's gonna have the suffix of my US call sign. If all goes well, I will be VK5OMO in addition to being KJ7OMO. Wish me luck.

People often ask what tools I use to make music:
Akai MPK Mini for MIDI, LMMS for melodies, ChatGPT for lyrics, and Suno to turn my melodies into full songs.

Now that #Suno v5 is out, I have decided to completely redo all of the music that I made using older versions of Suno. Expect to see a huge batch of uploads on my YouTube channel soon.

(1/2) Well, it's been a few months since the incident with & re-invite back into an inclusive ham radio club. Things don't feel like they used to. Whenever I say hi & make my presence known, barely anyone responds, I'm still mostly in the doghouse.

I'm mad 'cause I couldn't score any 99% off Black Friday deals, but if you bring back clam-o-naise permanently, I'll forgive you.

I started a fundraiser a while back to replace my failed FT-990 because I can't afford to. I sorely miss being on HF and I'd love to get back into it again. Any help, big or small, is greatly appreciated. throne.com/kimberlymcbl...

(1/2) This person is a transphobic bigot. Their name is Brad and their amateur radio callsign is N8PC. Ban on sight! Second post will contain the 5th screenshot.

Chat log on a Discord server containing the following: [REDACTED NAME] – 10/25/2025 4:37 AM Nice [REDACTED NAME] – 10/25/2025 5:00 AM My introduction - Hi all, I'm [REDACTED] (He/Him), born in [REDACTED] and bought up playing SNES, N64 and then xbox, I consider myself a gamer and retro games collector. My hobbies include gaming, retro game console collecting, modifying and repair, HAM Radio and technology. I currently work as a security officer in the hospital sector. I have been interested in radio for most of my life starting in CB and progressing to HAM. I use radio in my work and am also a former volunteer firefighter where radio was used a lot and I fell down the rabbit hole from there. [REDACTED NAME] – 11/12/2025 1:52 AM Hi I'm [REDACTED], born in [REDACTED], and my fave mode of communication would be P25 radio! I help run the [REDACTED] network over in Central Texas. Ham radio has ended up coming second and I need a reason to power on my DMR radio these days. I also mess with telephones and telephony a ton! Brad N8PC [REDACTED] – 11/12/2025 1:57 AM Hello. 1 thing — pronouns are words. Amateur radio itself does not discriminate. You are a radio operator and we do not care if you're male or female or whatever you think you should be. We just want to talk to each other and have fun.

Welp, because of the US government shutdown, my food stamps aren't gonna arrive for November. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do for food. This sucks big time! I hate like hell to ask for handouts, but I may have no choice if I can't find some way to keep myself fed.

Hey, Pride Radio Network users: Wires-X is down again, but it won't be for long. I lost my phone charger, so I'm having to borrow the power supply from the YSF-Wires-X bridge to charge my phone. Wires-X will be back online once my phone is done charging. Sorry about that!

🧵(1/7) Things feel unbearable right now. My country is becoming increasingly hostile toward the trans community, and it feels like the walls are closing in. On top of that, my mom — who’s grown more and more transphobic — keeps pressuring me to detransition because she “misses her son.”
