It seems to me the Mancunian Moron is more interested in standing in a pub, rather than sort the country out. The buff envelope must have been very thick this time. At the rate he is going he wont last till the next GE. #andyburnham #fiddlewhileromeburns

Are the Japanese ham radio manufacturers trying to put themselves out of business. Nearly €900 for a dual band mobile, oh come on... #amateurradio

I now have a new (refurb) pc up and running with #linuxmint I would like to thank all those that gave me advice, especially regarding compatibility. It certainly paid off, the install went flawlessly. Thank you all, your stars..... #linuxmint

When I was (a lot) younger, there was a program on BBC called 'tomorrows world'. I watched it regularly. About the time of computers starting to become mainstream, they covered the topic. Stating that peoples working hours would be 2 hours a day. So forgive me if I treat AI similar #aislop

The KRC QTH is now generating power. We are currently drawing nothing from the grid #solarpower

Just shy of 39C today, less than the 45C predicted, probably due to total cloud cover. But the heat is oppressive. A very sticky tiring day.... #globalwarming

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 18/06/2026

Mmmm 45C forecast for tuesday 23rd. The max we have seen in this area was 47.3C about 5 or 6 years ago. At Moron airbase. We arent in the hottest months yet (July/Aug). I hate to think what it may reach this year. Heat is coming earlier and winters are a lot wetter. #globalwarming

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 06/06/2026

Internet down, again. Went off at 5pm last night, still off. #winet are the pits 1/10 and thats generous. Only alternatives are #giganet equally dire or nazi #musk sh*telink

A while ago I got a TYT9800+ quad band radio, seems a nice little rig. Tuned it to the local (ish) repeater on 6 meters, but nothing heard so far. I need to get the thing programmed up with various channels/repeaters and see what I can hear.... #tyt9800 #amateurradio

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 27/05/2026

Weve just about reached peak heat here and as usual #Aemet are spot on with their predictions. Somewhat of a novelty as in the UK the #metoffice with their supercomputer failed 90% of the time

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 27/05/2026

Has anyone had any experience of Hoymiles (HF-800-WB) micro inverters. With reference to RF noise in particular. #solar #rfnoise

So #Radioddity gave up sending the antenna after 3rd attempt, so I ordered from #locuradigital It was due here thursday, still missing in action. Coming by #seur a part of #dpd I give in

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 29/04/2026

I think my tablet is nearing end of life. It will run for so long after a reset then won't update apps. I've tried all the usual stuff, most things in fact apart virgin sacrifice and that's difficult to achieve due to lack of raw materials lol #tablet #google

I finally got some time to play radio today, just a pity the bands were in poor shape. Seemed a very high noise level as well #amateurradio

Nearly 2 months ago I placed a bundled order with #Radioddity to which I am still awaiting the delivery of an antenna. To be fair to #Radioddity the last item has recently been sent to an alternative address. Fingers crossed on that but confidence is very low. #Radioddity #dpd

Last few weeks I've been trying out some alternatives to gurgles do you want to buy this crap search engine. Swisscows and ecosia are refreshing changes to mass ads and irrelevant info #swisscows #ecosia

In a period of about a month, two apps I used have further restricted the info you can see. The first was #wikiloc which I used for walking routes, you now can't see the route unless you pay The second is #flightradar24 which I used for flight arrival/departure info, hidden #payapps #greed

Does anyone have any recommendation for lightning protection of amateur radio antennas, especially verticals and if located in southern europe ? #amateurradio #lightningprotection

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 31/01/2026

¿Alguien tiene alguna recomendación para la protección contra rayos de las antenas de radioaficionados, especialmente las verticales y si están ubicadas en el sur de Europa? #amateurradio #lightningprotection

Well, after almost 12 months of deliberation the end fed antenna is finally up, brought about by a respite from the windy or wet days. First impression is its working ok, which is more than can be said of my back lol. #amateurradio #antenna #endfed

Is anyone taking bets on when the Mediocrity machine (AI) bubble will burst....

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 21/11/2025

Its a tad chilly here in southern Espana.... 4C and a frost on the car...

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 14/11/2025

Spent a very wet afternoon in the shack, trying to figure why the Quansheng wouldnt take new firmware. Faulty cable confirmed by trying it on the Retevis HH, same interface. New cable to be ordered soon... #amateurradio #Quansheng

Martin EA7KRC @ea7krc.eurosky.social · 11/11/2025

Defo feeling better after that nasty cold. Been doing jobs outside in the glorious sunshine, still getting out of breath but fitter than this time last week. Forecast here is for a rainy weekend and early next week, so, planning to catch up on the outstanding jobs in the shack... #amateurradio

Is there some kind of competition going on in Spain with manufacturers to create the most devisive and imposible opening for their products ? #tamperproofpacking
