Hiked up 🗻 Cnoc an Daimh Mor (GM/NS-142) in northern Scotland 🏴 to operate its first “Summits On The Air” radio station. Was one of the last unactivated summits in the UK. 17.5km of bog and peat maze. 29 hours driving to get there and back. 1 point. 💪🏻😃 #sota#hamradio#summitsontheair#hf#elecraft#portableops
It might be super fun to put some #gemini sites up on #HF#PacketRadio along with a #PacketRadioBBS . Something makes me think that the young folks would dig the idea of #VHF Packet radio, too.. Hell, they like cassetttes and vinyl LPs ..
Maybe even put up a whole #gemini gateway on Packet.
Maybe I'm only a temporary refugee from mastodons.hams.social, until it comes back online. Maybe not.
Amateur Extra. Interested in everything that connects software to radios. Love to tinker with new stuff and learn all about it, only to abandon it soon after and find new stuff.
Running a 135 ft OCFD on 9 bands and an IC-7300 on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Howdy everyone, we are W5AC, the Texas A&M Amateur Radio Club. Our history dates back to at least 1912 with the callsigns 5AC and 5XB at what was then the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas.
In the past, we have done an early play by play coverage of a football game in 1921, chess matches with N5XU in Austin, and long telegrams with our Model 19 teletype on #rtty
Currently, our members are interested in #hf, #vhf, #digital, and many more topics.
Imagine that in the year 2023, someone with an antenna and an #HF#Radio can intercept and decipher strategic air communications of the world's supposed second most powerful #AirForce
The Hustler 5-BTV vertical antenna looks good, but the Hustler 6-BTV costs about 40$ more and has the 30 meter band. Worth it? I'm getting ready to buy an antenna, a vertical because of space. #hamradio#antenna#hf
