I have ordered the wrong charger for my HT twice now. 🤦
Whenever I see a question about what is allowed and what isn't in Amateur radio, I can usually find the answer in the Technician question pool.
ToddHey U.S. people: thinking about getting your ham license? Free training, testing, and a radio.
"The Make Operating Radio Easier (MORE) Project is an initiative to reduce both gender and age imbalances in Amateur (Ham) Radio, through education and hands-on activities."
Are you a new ham (in the U.S.) who just got their license in the past 6 months?
You may be eligible for a free* handheld transceiver from QRZ:
free*: you may have to pay for shipping and/or tax, see QRZ's website for terms and conditions

I actually made it to the club meeting last night. A lot of info about the repeater changes, but there's been a lot going on in the past couple months. Then we had a great talk about POTA. Thanks @Kb9vbr !
Saw this neat HAM skill tree by @sjpiper145 posted on Boing Boing. I'm going to hang one up in the shack. It would be a good resource for new hams wondering what to do once they get their ticket.
Replaced the button cell in my FT-470. I enjoy electronics work, but the original leads were spot welded to the battery - probably because getting solder to stick to a battery is a PITA. I was worried I was going to cook the battery the whole time.
Two and a half hours later, the radio keeps its memory through power cycle. My Elmer bought it in the 90s as his first HT. I wonder if I'll get 20 years out of the battery.
It's very ham radio-y that when Josh asked Don how he was doing on Ham Nation, Don talks about how his MIL had surgery on Easter as well as the basketball game he is going to watch after the show.
I enjoy it very much, and I hope his MIL recovers quickly.
