I have been enthralled with Space Exploration since that October day in 1957. Reading about Sputnik that October in Weekly Ready wasn't enough to quench my curiosity. Thankfully today @nasaradioclubs helps my #AmateurRadio #HamRadio Space fascination
thanks to the nice people on the cascadia radio discord i was able to verify that i can in fact reach people on my little handheld ham radio ("ht")! i was starting to worry that the transmitter maybe didn't work.
however, i reached AJ7CM - who has a MUCH better kit than mine xD - in roosevelt and everything was actually pretty clear too! so yay ^_^

This Saturday is the International Day of Human Space Flight, so we've called our ham radio SSTV event, "Humans in Space."
Start listening for transmissions on Friday 11-April around 17:00 UTC | 1:00 PM ET on 145.800 MHz.
I stumbled across a Linux net and began to wonder if ham radio is just the audiobook of Mastodon.
You've activated parks, summits, and the occasional windmill. Here's your chance to activate a toilet! Please join me and my club N2YCR for a Toilets on the Air amateur radio contest at HOPE_16.
The conference is August 15–17 in NYC: https://hope.net/
This hamfest used to be pretty good having real commercial vendors etc. pre COVID. It's actually a little closer than Iroquois. Might go. We'll see!

World Amateur Radio Day is coming up on April 18th, 2025!
www.arrl.orgWorld Amateur Radio DayThe American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national association for amateur radio, connecting hams around the U.S. with news, information and resources.
Just back from the @HerefordARS_G3YDD AGM
Seems I'll be their treasurer for an 8th year.
The 18 year old Swiv would be bewildered.

I have an idea for an #AmateurRadio #Satellite
160m/80m linear SSB.
Given how so many of our antennas on that band are low enough to the ground that they send most of their signal straight up anyway, it should be easy to hit it.
With fairly small weights @ the ends of thin wires, a slow spin & centripetal force would keep them stretched out in a big + arrangement.

My new Begali postal key is trapped in France!
Today my #GMRS group participated in a #LarimerCounty emergency communications drill.
We ran a net on our repeater with simulated road updates and a medical emergency. Our #ham operators passed traffic to the EOC and back.
There were several neighborhood groups participating but I believe we were the only GMRS. Our weekly practice net really helps it go smoothly.
Ok for real I’m going to go through more boxes and find my old HT so I can practice both sides.

Greetings Elmers! Seeking advice on buck converters.
I ordered a QRP Labs QMX. For this model, they are extremely specific that it must not be powered by more than 12V. This means a LiFePo4 battery is out. Unless of course I put a buck converter inline to ensure only 12V goes to the QMX. Since it's a QRP radio, it consumes roughly 1A max current.
Any advice on what buck converter options make the most sense here?
As a #HamRadio guy with 4 displays on all the time, 75% of which are doing something #AmateurRadio related, but 2 of them are rarely interacted with. Just something interesting to look at, like #HamClock or #TheHolyCluster I found myself occasionally moving my mouse to... (cont'd in alt txt)
Is the #ARRL having issues right now? I keep getting SEC_ERROR_OCSP_SERVER_ERROR when trying their web site...

so, a few months ago I got an email from the local ARRL Bureau for QSL cards, and they said I had some waiting, so I sent them the $3 and waited... lol
I just got the mail today, and oh my gosh, there has to be 30 to 40 QSL cards for the past 5 years here! 
this is going to take some time to catch up on,
