Effective immediately, Signal for Windows will by default block the ability of Windows to screenshot the app.

San Diego #SOTA in the snow this morning up Long Valley Peak near Pine Valley. Good prop on 20m today. Got into NY and a S2S into CT on 15m with WB2FUV! #amateurradio #hamradio #hiking #socal

Nice hike up Nonou Mountain on Kauai for a #SOTA activation this afternoon. KX2 batteries were a little low so it was a quick one! #hamradio #amateurradio #morsecode

Cleaned up the Japanese replica J-38. A couple days of soaking metal parts in vinegar and I also replaced the 50-year-old grease in the bearings and lubricated the spring. I planned to sand and refinish the base but opted to ultimately forego that. #hamradio #amateurradio #SKCC #telegraphy
