Listening to @kc1mur @allianceradio YouTube video where he is talking about the challenges of #CW when you have Auditory Processing Disorder. Yup, right there with you. The tones constantly shift and change duration. And that is with perfectly generated computer sending. Doesn't matter how much effort I put into it. I can't decode Morse. It's neurological, not lack of interest.

@DragonBard @allianceradio The struggle is real. And demoralizing. It took over a decade before my wife finally believed that I wasn't deliberately being a wang every time I'd ask her to repeat. Certain tones and cadences are worse than others. Yet music (including commonly misheard lyrics) has never been a struggle, odd.

Thank you for validating, it means a lot.

@MikeFromLFE @DragonBard @allianceradio Depends on where you are at I guess? 2m and 440 in my area (mid-NH\ME) is very active, especially for low population states. The only thing lacking is sufficient Winlink RMS coverage - packet or VARA - for 2m. Linking to DMR, Allstar, YSF, and Echolink is a bonus.
@DragonBard @allianceradio Agreed. We wear our trauma and indifference as some sort of twisted badge of honor instead of recognizing it for what it is: apathy to the human condition.
@marz @allianceradio I've tried crocheting, just cannot pull it off. I can knit like a toddler on crack... with the expected results. I probably should stick to breaking stuff instead of creating stuff, that's my super power :D
@DragonBard @allianceradio If it makes you feel better, I am chronologically old (60), we can break out the Evil Kienevel Stunt bikes and watch BJ and the Bear :)

I sat down with Michael Martens a few days ago and had a delightful conversation. He gave me some insight into his world as a YouTube creator, antenna manufacturer, and elected public official. We covered several other topics as well.

(Apologies beforehand; I'm no journalist, LOL)

@_L1vY_ They are using the ANG base for flights like this? WTAF. YEsterday wasn't the worst we've seen this year but pretty damn close. Those poor people.
@N3VEM The struggle is real. I'm not color blind but my son is. The traffic light type. Realized it when he was about 6 and I replaced my green F-150 with a red Ram 2500 and he said "cool dad, your new truck same color as your old one, I like it."
Yeh.
@wb2ifs Some of the best devs I've worked with in my 34 years in IT and SaaS are women. One former employer had an all-female Ukrainian team that ran circles around everyone.
