My ham radio account. Check @ai6yr for a lot of other posts. Interests: Amateur radio, but a lot more. Active during disasters. Yes, I am the guy who found that lost hiker using only his blurry photo.
Taking radios on adventures sure does bring on the curse of the failing coax... Any marginally crimped coax WILL FAIL. Soldered connectors, maybe... High heat combined with very cold wet conditions = stress. #hamradio
ARISS - Amateur Radio on ISSSpotted on the International Space Station: crew member Suni Williams, KD5PLB, takes the ARISS mic on the Columbus Module ham radio.
Best video ever, contact made via a satellite (SO-50) with @wd9ewk when I was on a remote island doing a POTA activation! (US-0014) -- Channel Islands National Park - Santa Rosa Island. Also IOTA NA-144. #hamradio #POTA #IOTA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJcV34vMB0&t=251s

StuartI am trying to persuade my new radio club to get a fediverse account, which apparently involves teaching some more "cautious" members of the club what the fediverse is.
Does anyone have suggestions for existing explanation of what the fediverse is aimed at "regular people"?
Also, anyone got examples of fun #hamradio things which happen or are talked about on fedi? I know there's a winlink net or something? Maybe other things like that?

Hoping to active CM93/CM94 both on satellite and (maybe) HF next week. IOTA NA-144. POTA US-00014. #hamradio #POTA #IOTA #satellite
LOL answered someone on our local repeater, and a bunch of new hams suddenly showed up and started chatting among themselves, and forgot I was there (fine with me). Apparently a lot of them listening, but none talk until they hear someone else talking. Second day in a row. #hamradio
Steve HermanWired - J.D. Vance's public Venmo account gives "an unfiltered glimpse into his extensive network of connections with establishment GOP heavyweights, wealthy financiers, technology executives, the prestige press, and fellow graduates of Yale Law School—precisely the elites he rails against." https://www.wired.com/story/jd-vance-venmo/

"Participating in ham radio, 3D printing, and coding clubs
It’s no surprise Yanduru was interested in the MOVE’s communication system. She is a cofounder and copresident of her school’s radio engineering club, which has 10 members. It teaches students about topics they need to know to pass the amateur radio licensing test.
Yanduru is a licensed amateur radio operator. "
