Hi all! I got a new callsign, so I'm moving over to @W1CDN. You may be getting a follow invite from there soon.

Yeah, I'm going to switch. It's weird seeing replies/@ with my old call.
Exciting ham radio stuff for me on my day off social media yesterday.
1 - added 20m to my attic fan dipole.
2a - first SSB contact, which
2b - happened to be with a POTA activation.
3 - managed a bare-minimum CW contact.

Got my #FT8 logs moved over from my laptop to my #hamtop with a complex copy and paste process.
Next up is getting a real logging program to talk to #JTDX, #JS8call, and the radio. #babysteps #hamradio

#log4om certainly seems overwhelming on first look. Ugh.
Flagging this hear to think about later, still don't know why my #IC7300 refuses to show signal strength with AGC turned off.

Got my vanity callsign W1CDN, held at one point by my great-grandfather in the 1930s.
Now the decision, do I keep this mastodon.radio account, or switch to a new one?
I feel like I'm getting worse. Going through all this spirit writing, but at 30 wpm characters, I still have ample time to count because I'm at 10 wpm effective spacing.
How do you turn your brain off? Learn even faster?
Thanks for all the hardware suggestions!
I'm playing with an old Toshiba Satellite L505D. Had Ubuntu installed already, upgraded 18 to 19 to 20. Running into audio issues and waterfall freezing in #js8call and #jtdx. Whole thing is a bit sluggish (expected).
Annoyed with the audio issues, I've swapped the Windows 7 drive back in and will be trying with that.
If I end up doing stuff in the field, will need a solution that needs less power. For now, trying to use what I have. #hamradio
