This sounds bad.... Yikes.
ScalziI understand quote posting is coming to Mastodon, and when the functionality arrives I will probably use it BUT I want to be clear to everyone that when I am quoting someone else's post I am not doing to dunk but simply because I want to make my comment more generally available. If I see people use my quote as an invitation to be shitty to the person I'm quoting, I'll likely block them for it. Please never be an asshole on my behalf. Thank you in advance for honoring my wishes.
John K.Babylon 5 2x20: "The Long, Twilight Struggle": This episode is just stunning from start to finish. Easily one of the best of the second season, it is heart-wrenching several times over. It also features one of G'Kar's finest moments. That speech resonates across the years. I also have to give particular praise to the score for this episode. My only quibble is that Sheridan's journey takes a big leap that doesn't feel entirely earned yet. #babylon5
A very unusual day on 1296MHz.
I am using the IC-9700 barefoot with a vertical monoband antenna.
10 different beacons heard: SP,OZ,DL,SM1, LA.
Worked ODX: DC7QH in Berlin, 350km with FM. Fun fact: He had to turn his antenna 180 deg. away from me.
Got FT8 up and running with the radio.
Reported stations from:
OZ, SM, LA, DL, SP, LY, UA2, UW (Ukraine) and more.
A spectacular day on 1296.
Would have been even greater with horizontal antennas.

Went to VHF day not too far from me yesterday.
Found a scanner and asked a price.
He said no guarantee that it works, but approx. $3.
I risked it, it could be a brick.
Tested with battery, nothing, then with external 12V. Dorrect display.
found the manual, so I could program frfequencies for scanning.
Tried 1297.500.
Audio feedback, so it works.
Still need to test sensitivity, but for $3, it's a bargain.
Flea markets can be fun.
