Happy to report that much lunchtime work talk went pretty well! Had about 30 people watch, and some questions.

I had a weird glitch in iA Presenter (I love markdown presentation tools so was playing) where the images disappeared, but it has decent version control so I was able to recover.

Anyway, slides and speaker notes are at: https://files.hackerific.net/ham-radio-2025-03-28.pdf (54MB!)
I mainly added the notes to save me if I got stuck, so then I spoke a bit more than planned, and 30 mins was a bit short 

I'm giving a #talk on #hamradio in a few weeks at work, and I’m planning to focus on networks, experimentation and digital modes.

My hope is that I can break the prevailing view that radio is just about old men chatting, by showing a bunch of things software engineers will be interested in.

Luckily there's so much to talk about that picking what to exclude is the problem!

I think I'll cover:
* SDRs + construction
* 44net
* meshtastic
* and then a bit on licensing in the UK.

Ooh, I see Firefox Developer Edition has native vertical tabs now.

This broke my Sidebery setup but that's OK, I wasn't really using the advanced features, I just wanted vertical tabs. Let's see how well this works 👌🏻
