There are "people of principles" and "people of interests".

- Éric Sadin (quoting someone) at #WFD2025

Éric Sadin critiquing the messianic corporate vision of the future. Promoting the future as such is to take away attention from the problems of the present.

The #HamChallenge this week: Do a contest.

As a new ham, it's hard to imagine ever taking contests that seriously. I like that more people are on the air. I dislike communication as competition.

Nevertheless I had fun doing my first not-a-contest recently: Winter Field Day 2025!

I did all 8 highly contrived QSOs on VHF/UHF. I (unsuccessfully) activated a POTA spot and hunted (a successful) POTA activation.
