My mastodon user name is obviously my call sign. Well, it was. I applied for the new call sign DK1MI which was assigned to me today.

What are my options? Is a mastodon user name changeable?

Sometimes I want to share a short video clip - most of the time it's amateur radio related. I'd like to avoid using Youtube for this. Is there a nice video sharing platform / peer tube instance you can recommend to me?
Had some portable fun today in a local park. Worked multiple EU stations including a portable one. Weather could have been better but everything else was nice.

I am thinking about writing a CLI DX cluster client with a TUI in Python. Besides a nice colorful output depending on band and mode, I'd like to have a feature that filters/marks DXCC entities that have been already worked/confirmed - maybe even just for this band/mode. A simple scheduled QSL download from lotw would deliver the necessary data.

Would anyone be interested in using and/or co-developing such application?

Time to send some letters :)
I wonder what a 10" android tablet would consume (fully charged, supplied with power)

I am looking for a small computer system with the following specs:

* cheap
* screen <=10"
* very low power consumption
* linux based
* only used for SSHing to other places
* battery not necessary

I am using an old Asus eepc 701 for this purpose right now but it draws 16W on idle, 3,5W in standby. My issues: power consumption, keyboard a bit too small.

Any ideas?

Today I had my first real QSO with a VK station and got a 57 report. I am still amazed that my voice can be heard 16000km away from where I am located and that this is possible with just a simple antenna, a 100W radio and the help of the ionosphere.
