This is Ben, a ham radio operator in Texas. Love getting on SSB / FT4 / FT8. Often, I operate on #HF at the NU5DE club station. Also on #C4FM / #WiresX in Texas-SADRC room. See my QRZ page for more.
I also have a crossover hobby of flying drones, both FPV and Camera style. Will survey towers for food!

Do you know all those "failed" side projects you've worked on? All those story ideas, half-baked artwork, and those tutorials you only partially finished?
Those are NOT FAILURES. They are like little nuggets of learning that you have been investing in. Like collecting sea glass on an infinite beach of possibilities.
Do not consider that wasted time. You explored an idea, or some creative thought. Now take that learning and carry it forward to the new thing.
I wanna surface this to my main timeline because it's kinda important to say out loud from time to time:
Businesses do NOT "have to" focus exclusively on their return to shareholders. Not legally, not morally.
That is the misguided OPINION of a 1970 essay by Milton Friedman, and the fact that everyone seemed to just hop on board that opinion is a significant reason why we switched gears into hyper-hell-capitaliam since then.
Push back on this every time you see it.
My #introduction:
Ham radio operator in Texas. Love getting on SSB / FT4 / FT8. On #C4FM / #WiresX at Texas-SADRC. See my QRZ page for more. Often, I'm operating #HF from the NU5DE club station in McDade.
I also enjoy flying UAVs (Drones) recreationally. Aside from the obvious scenic photography uses, they are also quite handy for tower and antenna inspections!
