I am an operator on VHF/UHF/HF. On HF, I mostly operate on 10 to 20 meters. My HF radio can do 6 to 160 meters, but I have to set up and take down my antenna. I am also on DMR, but mostly only use DMR repeaters. I call myself a wandering ham because I don't have a ham shack or a set location to transmit from. I prefer open-source and free software. #VHF #UHF #HF #DMR
I'm thinking about getting a DMR hotspot since DMR repeaters are finicky. I travel in an RV and would use campground WiFi and my phone hotspot to connect to DMR hotspot. I would not be able to connect to WiFi router, and I currently cannot build one. I used an Anytone 168UV. Do you have any recommendations on DMR hotspot? #DMR
Checked into the KL7AA South Central Simplex Net in Anchorage, Alaska. I checked into 146.52 VHF, 446 UHF, APRS, and Winlink. #Alaska #hamradionet
Tonight at 19:00 AKST Anchorage Amateur Radio Club (AARC)will hold South Central Simplex Net starting at the frequency 146.520. The net will then move to different frequencies to test different radio equipment. #hamradionet #alaska
Eugen RochkoI see generative AI on the web the same way I see forever chemicals in the real world. The effects may not be immediately apparent but they are poisoning mankind. Those who acquired knowledge and skills in the before era will be fine, but newer generations won't have the same reference points to tell reality from fiction. They will search for "baby peacock" on Google and have no reason to believe the actual birds look any different to what they're shown. I find that sad somehow.

"The same tracking techniques that Google claims are essential for online advertising also expose individuals' sensitive information to data brokers, surveillance companies, and law enforcement," EFF’s Lena Cohen told BBC News. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm21g0052dno
