Activated K-1987 today. Only 14 contacts on FT8, but I didn’t have a lot of time. Just glad I got outside after yesterday’s failure.

Trying to get out and activate a park before noon today. Fingers crossed. #POTA #FT8
Recommendations on a 3d printer?
Passed the Amateur Extra exam this morning. Only missed one! Feeling pretty good about that.

Did a little ham therapy this morning at the park. Was totally alone. Not many contacts on 20m at 10 watts, but a few.

Look at what arrived in the mail today!

Thanks @M0YNG! Love ‘em!

Gonna bite the bullet and do the Amateur Extra test on October 2nd. Kinda overdue.

Hey @M0YNG Do you know if membership in the RSGB is open to Yanks?

Not sure why it occurred to me but...

Wrote up a thought or two on all the FT8 hate I’ve seen lately.

Thoughts on FT8 Hate – KC3JXQ

On any given ham radio list 60% of posts are correcting the phrasing of another poster whom everyone understood just fine.

Especially ironic when the topic is SNR.

Sigh.
