Radio Propagation
Strong tropospheric propagation is again present across the southern British Isles and northern Europe, extending the normal distance of VHF/UHF signals. A large high pressure is settling in for a few days.
In a thread this morning on starter packs and the success of black people moving to #Bluesky @mekkaokereke points out that a lot of discourse here about Bluesky is warnings about "inevitable corpo takeover" and not "How do we get them to build for Mastodon/Activity Pub?" This inspired discussion about how to, in fact, make Mastodon better for black people, and links to some good resources:

@KE0FFT sounds like you might want js8call possibly as well, of a chat like experience is desired?
Channels wise, I would point at either The Tech Prepper, or KM4ACK as good starting points: TTP is deeply focused on targeted comms, often with PC integrations, and KM4ACK covers all sorts of computer integrations with radio.
