I am a technology and #cycling enthusiast and IT professional returning to #HamRadio after a long break to learn and explore #CW and activate #POTA and #SOTA
In case anyone missed or didn't know about the interesting #Wavelog project. A few days ago, version 2.0 was released on the project's first anniversary. github.com/wavelog/wave...

So last night was perfect for a long star trails run, with clear sky for most of the night, so that's what I did. I beat my previous time for this type of shot too - this image represents 12 hours 30 minutes of star trails! 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography #SciArt #Space

Further search for a lightweight, simple, and handy CW manipulator to carry. It gets better, but the oceans are growing 😉 #hamradio #3dprint #diy #cw #morsecode #cwops

I have often thought that using digital modes in the field can be excessive. However, with the alternative firmware for #X6100 from R1CBU, working with FT4 and FT8 is a joy. There’s no need for extra laptops or tablets—just a transceiver, and the log is stored on a memory card. #pota #sota #hamradio

Another day with #POTA activations. Three new parks including two activated for the first time in the program. #hamradio #lakes #winter #nature

Today's park activation was in the autumn-winter aura. It was a pleasant, short ride in an area I usually visit during the summertime. #pota #hamradio #xiegu #lake #forest #misty #lopo

Today's #POTA PL-0208 weather conditions were not ideal. The propagation was also weak with my configuration. However, the activation can be considered a success. #hamradio #outdoor

The Lega river is near today’s #POTA activation. This is not how it should be in winter in this region. #nature #river #poland #warmwinter

Spontaneous activation of #POTA on the night shift. It was cold and wet, so I was in the car, this time only in digital mode. #hamradio #digimode

It's nothing special but opens up the possibility of VHF/UHF mobile operation. #hamradio #antenna #vhfuhf #mobile

Super idea, great performance, excellent quality and parameters. However, if it is to be used as a standalone recorder, this is a major drawback. It is impossible to set the time for the files to be named correctly. #dji #djimic2 #disappointed

I tested a quickly built ad-hoc Moxon antenna for #LEO satellite communication. The construction may be rough, but it functions well. During an optimal pass of #ISS, I had a good reception. Unfortunately, there were so many participants, so I couldn’t make a successful QSO. Maybe next time! 😉 #amsat

Successful spontaneous test of receiving work via a repeater on the ISS. Achieved seamless reception using a handheld radio with a stock #Retevis RT3S antenna and #OpenGD77 software. #amsat #hamradio #iss

I finally got around to installing the X50 antenna on the roof while the weather was still nice. I'll be using this setup to monitor local activity on the VHF and UHF bands. Let's give it a try! #hamradio #antenna #vhfuhfradio #vhfuhf

I just upgraded my BlueSky username to my custom domain. The quick and straightforward process of domain verification. Now my account handler is @sp6gsa.com

I saw this when I opened up my new #Yaesu FT-710. 🫤 That was before I had the CW keying problem. It's a very nice device, but I must be extremely unlucky. 😤

I'm posting about recent mentions of problems with the #Yaesu #FT710.
