"Still punk rock," I whisper as I lower myself gingerly into a hot bath full of epsom salts.

Let's all try using the #DX hashtag when reporting (spotting) who we work especially if it is rare DX. This way we create an awesome Mastodon DX reporting system without any special app, website, etc. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

So two semesters of #cwacademy has paid off, sending and receiving skills are up and I'm now a member of #CWops.
Ask me about it :)

S5, LY, EI, OZ, and ZS licensed hams have 8-metre-band allocations (40660–40700 kHz). The rest of EU can use that ISM range without a licence provided erp≤10 mW. If, outside those countries, we experimented FT8 at 40680 kHz using 10 mW and used our callsigns as handles (after all, we could be called anything there), would QSOs with these countries be possible in Es season? Or would that be a breach of our licences?
