A ham interested in HF, Digital Modes, and CW. Trying really hard to make the airwaves a welcoming space for ALL operators. Yes, I'm a boring old white dude but I'm friendly!

I know, but seriously? It's so much more organized than it was on Wednesday! It's my contribution to #Shackturday

No radio but a little trail riding today since they’re open for the first time this year. This bike is restless and ready to get me in trouble.

This is the true power of owning a Jeep in the spring. I control the weather.

The Textual Digits widget is over the top. I can't NOT use it. Yikes!

You thought that because I shut up about it that maybe it went away.

It didn't.

Having a lot of fun learning Textual and all kinds of Python nonsense I've not played with before.

It's really close to being a functional logger at this point and your fingers never have to leave the keyboard (unless you want them to).

I promise I'll shut up about the QMX+ (in a week or so) but running it as a WSPR beacon and watching the GPS output in the terminal is very soothing.

Sure would be nice if the buttons on the IC-7300 were backlit. But they're not. So as I was going through some drawers to find a particular tool, I found a solution to my "problem" of not being able to see my rig at night when I'm up late playing Radio Hacker From The Matrix in my head. Behold! The USB LED Adjustable Light!

And I took a new friend along. I’ll write about that later, but wow, I like this little guy!
