Time for a #cupoftea before I give a talk at @G4SKM about the #RSGB #Brickworks scheme.

Well that's a fucking slap in the face from the #RSGB. (Yes, I am all over the place with radio tech at the moment.)

Online licence exams are not available to Linux users. Pretty arse-backward for a society that started as tinkerers, inventors, and innovators.

Just back from a 2 day binge-dive into operating a handful of different #WebSDR radio receivers, as a returning #radio #amateur. Picking up the hobby again after 20 years of parenting and jobbing.

Now waiting for #RSGB to get back to me, to hopefully verify the callsign I chose 25 years ago, so I can renew it.

Looking for #recommendations for #usb #wideband #radio #receiver please. Interested in #VLF up to a few #GHz, mostly want to hear #sferics, #hamradio, #shortwave, #solar, #jovian and any curiosities besides.

Would one single #SDR receiver span all that comfortably? Could it be used with some sort of computer visualisation software to watch the passband go by over time?

Got my #RSGB M-class callsign over 20 years ago, now curious about RF again :)

A new batch of #RSGB #bureau #QSL cards has arrived ๐ŸŽŠ Many thanks to all involved. Also got a few returned ones (what a waste, why can't people keep their calbook info up to date ๐Ÿ™„). And, in my 1st, a returned one sent to an OM who became SK ๐Ÿ˜ฅ #hamradio
Got a ticket for #emfcamp woohoo! Bit of #amsat #ham #rsgb now to find a #DECT phone as well!
Passed the UK Amateur Radio Foundation test today! 92% pass. Two confusing questions. Just waiting for cert so I can register call sign. #hamradio #amateurradio #rsgb
