So what's new in the world of digital ham radio? This could be a big deal and might knock proprietary protocols and waveforms on the head. #Mercury #Hermes #opensourcesoftware #vara #packetradio
Good news for Linux ops too!

It's only been like a year, but I'm back on Mastodon thanks to nudging from @g
Radio-wise, lately I've been...
1) Trying to get back active on satellites and tuning the ergonomics of my IC-705/FT-818ND portable combo.
2) Experimenting more with APRS and Winlink.
3) Ballooning
If you speak any of the following languages and would be willing to record a translation of

DM me if you're willing, and I'll can give you an email address to send the recording to!
I'm very new to Mastodon so here's a short #introduction.
I've been a #hamradio operator since 1988. I have my Extra Class ticket. I currently enjoy #qrp operating and #homebrew projects. Most of my building has been kits but I've come to enjoy scratch building. Not as pretty but a lot of fun.
My latest project has just been powered up, a #T41-EP. Lots to do still but it first picked up a signal today. Looking forward to learning a lot from the community here.
72,
