That’s a wrap - 9H/DG5CW is now QRT! 🤫
After 4 POTA activations, 124 QSOs across 29 countries (quite impressive to see on the map what the little QMX can achieve 🥰), and several kilometers hiked through Malta's stunning landscape ⛰️, I’m heading home. ✈️
I can definitely recommend Malta for any QRP and POTA enthusiasts looking for great views and even better RF. 🙏

World Amateur Radio Day is tomorrow (April 18)! Here's a throwback to last month when some of the team got together for a SOTA Activation of Burnaby Mountain (VE7/GV-009) while in Vancouver, BC for our all-hands meeting. #ardc #amateurradio #summitsontheair #worldamateurradioday #worldamateurradioday2026

44Net wasn’t just built online: it was built in person. In the early days, regional coordinators helped operators modify radios and build TNC’s for packet operation. This hands-on approach is still part of the community today. #44net #44yearsof44net #amateurradio #packetradio

Didn't even know that!!

Love the profile pic, BTW.
When I started learning about single sideband on YouTube years ago, I was convinced that's what they used for the various warbly and pitch-bendy radio sounds in ESB.

My prototype adapter to connect the AIOC to my yaesu ft-65 is mostly working.
PTT is working, as is transmitting and receiving audio. Programming doesn't work somehow. When I try it, I get an invalid echo error.
Once I manage to fix that I will create a PCB for that.
And before you ask, yes I had a audio transformer lying around but no sockets.

The #EveryHam #AmateurRadio #Contest website  is live!

I've set up a "Test" contest for tomorrow, 18 April, 0000-2359 UTC.
No guarantees that any part of it will actually work, but if you happen to be on the radio tomorrow and you'd like to submit 5 of your QSOs to the contest, go for it!

The submission window is 8 days from the start of the contest (day of, plus 7 days after)
This is the first time I've attempted anything like this, so I'd appreciate any feedback on the process, any bugs you noticed, etc.
