Hi, I am a new ham. I just got my extra on 6/25/2024.

On stolen Piscataway land (FM19) outside of DC. If you're local, give me a wave. I'd love to geek out in person.

I am a #queer #trans #leftist that is learning #hamradio with the goal to provide emergency communication support for my community.

I am a software engineer by trade, #maker, #crafter, #privacy advocate, #nixos & #linux user. I use #freesoftware when I can but not a zealot about it.

bigots and fascists DNI.

Ok, I think it is time to migrate to @[email protected]. Wish me luck. I've never migrated a mastodon account before.

Most of the POTA parks around me don't really have a place for me to set up my station on a picnic table. They're mostly parks with a parking lot and hiking trails.

I finally pulled the trigger on a 17' whip to do 20m-6m. I picked up a mag mount and a ground spike. We'll see how that works out.

Just arrived - a box with the first physical copies of my book Make: Radio!

My goal was to write a book for beginners and electronics hobbyists, exploring radio circuits with inexpensive and easily available modern components. All circuits in the book can be built on breadboard.

I love how CNN personifies the inanimate and abstract like there aren't people to blame for this.

A historically hot summer is on a killing spree and it shows no signs of stopping

A historically hot summer in the United States is on a July killing spree and the toll will only grow with the hottest days yet to come.
