Parked up a hill near the Uffington white horse. . Radio on 2m. No replies. That was a waste of time.

A @icomuk.bsky.social IC-2730 left to me by a local ham who’s just passed away. All cleaned up and programmed.

Icom ic-2730 powered on and tuned into GB3WZ and 2m simplex calling.

Can now run both Meshcore and 2/70 from the car at the same time. Can’t use magmount on leased car. Currently running LoRa APRS on the 2/70. #hamradio #meshcore

My back garden looks like a scene from a Carry On film as me and a few friends have our second annual #HamRadio field day in my back garden. Welcome to Carry On Up The Coax. Coming to a band near you over the next two days.😁

@mm9sql.com Hi - curious why you say Cloudlog on Docker is not recommended for production use. Have it running here without any (known) issues.

I should do more radio stuff. I just don’t have the time or urge to at the moment. I’m only doing APRS really.

Saddened to hear of the death of the legendary comic Stanley Baxter. From comedy films to large variety series to children's favourite Mr Majeika , Stanley was on our screens regularly for 30 years. Here Stanley plays 5 characters to show you how everyone loved the BBC Micro

Picked up a PicoGUS soundcard today. Not had a chance to use it yet. An ISA sound card and CD-ROM emulator, powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico. PicoGUS can emulate Gravis UltraSound, Sound Blaster 2.0 / AdLib (OPL2) and more!

Curious to know any fellow hams who are experimenting with APRS over LoRa. What's the coverage like in the area you live in? Looks like we are quite lucky here in Cambridgeshire. #lora #aprs #hamradio

It's just over three months until this year's Retro Computer Festival! This time it's the Gaming Edition and we want YOU to get involved. Do you write computer games, or did you back in the day? Or do you develop tools or hardware? We're looking for more exhibitors for our Games Dev room ... 1/2

When you are in conversation at work and you suddenly remember Microsoft Antigen. It’s been a very long time since I have thought about Antigen. Im kinda glad it doesn’t exist anymore.

What’s the obsession with free baseball caps with a new amateur radios? For me it’s just junk that’ll end up in the bin.
