I discovered a new kind of sad ham today. It’s the kind where the x-ray tech at the ortho urgent care doesn’t remember any of the radiation specifics and his colleague at the front desk doesn’t want to chat about this major change either 😭😭😭

Alt text is a transcription of why it’s supposed to be cool to ditch the lead threads.

Every time someone says “All the action is on FT8” I think about how full the waterfall is when I’m out activating parks on the weekends. I average a contact a minute most of the time I’m working CW. Am I the only one?

Reminder: it's #WinterFieldDay this weekend.

There's likely to be a bunch of interesting activity on the bands. In particular, people who would normally be on FT8 might be on JS8Call.

If you feel like making a few contacts, 'cuz it's been a while since you've done, go right ahead, jump in, say hello.

Do not let some all-caps #SadHam on Reddit dissuade you because if you participate in a contest & you don't care about the points & don't submit your log you're somehow awful.

You're not...
