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

Love a bit of FM DX. Heard France, Germany and Belgium via my Arrow satellite antenna!

When you run out of Velcro or cable ties, an old diode will do.

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

Someone game me 2 dead Yamaha MU50 tone generators today. I now have 1 working MU50! Really good sound quality! Faulty 7805 and an iffy power socket.

LoRa APRS T-Deck built and ready for some testing. Let’s see if the generic quad lock attachment works! #lora #aprs #hamr #data #lilygo

That’s the Amstrad PC1512 fully working with a couple of additions. Never had the original mouse for it. I can now use a USB mouse. Has SD card storage for hard disk and floppy disk emulation. Ad-lib audio.

Black on green looks weird. Let’s hope the power regulator swap and ZX-WESPI install don’t break it!
