I'm queer! Big fan of cats, ham radio, *nix and FOSS, AVR microcontrollers, and loads of other tech rabbit holes. I currently hold a Basic ham license with Honours, working on my morse and advanced, and anything else radio I can get my hands on.
Really excited to break into playing with radiosondes! I've got the development environment in order, and an alternative firmware lined up for the sonde I'll have in my hot little hands this weekend 😏 #hamradio #amateurradio

Uh oh, gonna have to start pretending to be interesting! I had a busy day, and wasn't able to check why my phone kept vibrating - can't say I expected this lol

For those who are unsure what the solar data figures are all about, this may get help.

Oh wow, hello new followers!

Could I borrow an antenna? I appear to have lost mine

Feeling pretty pleased with this little experiment! Using SDRangel on my phone, it's so nice to have real-time granular gain control - who needs attenuators??

Taking a much needed breather after my last big idea came to fruition, looks like the rocket stove is pretty happy too

I'm a bit nervous about this, but now's as good a time as any;
Hello world, I'm non-binary!

I've been known as "Jay" until now - it would make me happier to be called "Jasmine," or "Jazz" for short.

Thanks for your time. 💜

Can you spare a few bucks to help me go back to school?

Passed the practice exam for the advanced license for the first time today, looking promising! Just need to do it consistently today #hamradio

Had to walk around for a bit (-12°C, mind you) today, to see if I could hear a couple of local packet stations with a decent quarter wave whip. 3 beacons heard, good thing I bundle up! Now to get that J-pole up... #hamradio

@kimberlymcblaze.bsky.social Great time with the PRG folks tonight, I wasn't expecting a 3 hour net! Here's hoping I can stay awake to catch the next one 😁 #amateurradio #hamradio #prideradiogroup

The station grows! I've inherited a dual band J-Pole for 2m/70cm, 20ish feet of aluminum pole sections, and a bunch of good coax - signal reports ought to start improving once I get it set up 😁
