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. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@lauren Ha! I watched that the other day and, like you, was relieved that he now has a coffee maker in the shop.
