I am a husband, electrical engineer, IT worker, and ham radio operator just trying to live a quiet life on my own terms. Living in #NewMexico.

I post mostly about #HamRadio #AmateurRadio and related topics, but any random thing that enters my mind may end up here. I do very occasionally post #USpol but I do not CW them. I do use the hashtag though, so you can filter those out if you don't want to see them.

I will block you without hesitation, without warning, and without comment if you accuse me of being something I am not.

Are you a ham radio operator or ham-curious and want to learn more? Or maybe a shortwave listener? Join us in our XMPP chat room!

@AF0AJ Sign up for HSHL. I'll call you. ;)

A bunch of my buddies in CO and NV use it. When I need to call one and I think they might be in their shack, I call them on HSHL. If they don't answer there then I'll try their cell.

I also have accounts on HOIP and AmateurWire, but I don't know anyone else that use them and so had never made or received any calls with those two. I didn't bother to set them back up again when I got my phone back online. Maybe I should work on that.

@HopelessDemigod I'm actually going to give those compression connectors a try. I ordered some up and will have them in a few days.

Well I'm surprised. I was convinced nobody but me did a solder-solder connector and everybody else was doing solder-crimp.

Another thing I noticed is that, if this poll is to be believed, the solder-solder people seem to just quietly do their thing, while the solder-crimp folks are very vocal about it. 😉

Reminds me of the old joke that goes how do you know there's a pilot at the party? He'll tell you. 😆

Most people don't know that Colorado and New Mexico almost came to blows over who had the best chile. The whole incident culminated with the government of New Mexico erecting a billboard outside of Pueblo Colorado that read "150 miles to real chile". We're not petty.

Also, while green chile is often called Hatch chile, Hatch is a town in New Mexico, not a kind of chile.

Anyway when @Wolf accidentally exposed me to this menu, I had feelings. 😂
