Checking PSK-Reporter, I was shocked how well my EFHW was working just thrown into the rafters of the park shelter I was in (on 20 meters).
Got a used 6th gen iPad Pro (also 12.9") on its way to me now and I'm excited to start doing a lot more radio!
Tested out a new setup today after discovering how well the SDR-Control iPadOS works with the IC-705.
Only real issue I had was difficulty making FT8 contacts. Turning "Monitor" on, I heard the occasional audio drop on TX.
Well, I was using a 1st gen iPad Pro (12.9") and had to close all my other apps to get it working without drops.

These changes go into effect 30 days after this is posted in the Federal Register, so we have to wait a bit longer!

I've been riding daily for the last week and this cycle has been the most enjoyable experience. My local Catrike dealer went above and beyond to help me make sure this was the right cycle for me.
Now to figure out where to mount a ham radio!

I think I can officially declare that I'm a cyclist again!
I used to ride an upright bike for commuting to/from transit, but got out of the habit when I did more car commuting five years ago. I donated my bike to the local community bike group so it could be refurbished and go to good use.
I'm not going back to commuting to transit, but wanted to do more exercise so I invested into a Catrike Dumont which is a recumbent tadpole trike.
Well, I couldn't help myself and got an Icom IC-705 on its way from DX Engineering.
I hope that gets me motivated to do more POTA and SOTA in the new year!
Well here's a delightful thing that happened today. Inspired by the comments section of a recent video I uploaded, I decided to seek out the woman who is the voice behind the verbal announcements you hear in Otis elevator systems.
I did indeed find her. Linda and I had a lovely phone call this afternoon and that interview will be released as an upcoming video in the near future.
