They're dumb as a sack of sandwiches, sometimes they're mean, but they're also awesome.

I wonder if he'll say "skedaddle"

I'm sorry too. And so very tired of American antics.

What a pretty orange kitty! I love orange kitties!

Been busy the last little while. I'm applying to volunteer with Scouts Canada with a local troop. 🤞 My plans if I can convince them will be to introduce these youngins to amateur radio (Morse might be too advanced), basic electronics, star gazing, and other nerdy stuff in a fun, and memorable way.

You know what doesn’t go down? Amateur radio 🙂

Luckily more that half my life is done.. So, I won't have to see the world get much dumber that it is. Yeah, right. It's getting dumber by the week it seems. The rich billionaires are plotting to make the average person as dumb and complicit as possible.

I have a pair of those. They're the ones I use most of the time at home, and in the field, I use these smaller ones.

I'm a YT subscriber, I refuse to do tiktok, and it's actually blocked in my home.

I know the fix, you know the fix, but the money and lobbying seems happy with the status quo.

Agreed. There are very few people I wish dead. He is one I would absolutely like to see die. And rejoice we would!

I use one of these and a usb-c trigger cable.

I’m so glad that I don’t know who he is, and that I don’t follow any “influencers”.

This is my first slide rule, and reading lots, and watching videos to get the real hand of it. It's an amazingly ingenious and complex machine for something with just a bunch of lines scratched on it. Old tech is fascinating.

Are giraffes a common sight in Louisville? Do they stalk you while you're playing radio, ready to pounce?

It's been a minute since I've interacted with anyone. I've been on an social media vacation and felt good. I think it's time to come back here and see what's up!

Run where? You're 20 storeys up. If the building you're in collapses, it won't make a lick of difference.

The only way he can have his image on currency is if he’s dead. So now I’m having mixed feelings. I wouldn’t want to see his face on money, but I want him to be unalive.

Does the US or musk dictates the amateur spectrum globally? I mean does the UK, AUS, CAN have to follow what Elmo decides if he ever tries to do this?

Don’t buy transceivers if you don’t know how to use them and will have the time to learn how to use it and practice. Also get licensed. Otherwise it’s a paperweight.

Yes, They publish your name but your location can be a PO Box if you want that instead

How about we eliminate the middle man and just have People on the Air? Ans a separate Computers on the Air just for the digitals

Democrat Lawmakers… Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY… DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES. DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

Short of a Coup from within, how could this be resolved? The real idiots are the ones who didn't vote, or voted for a third party, which is the same as not voting. The possibility (although only a rumour) of election rigging is floating with some real data to back it, is also concerning.

If I couldn't find a product that was "Made in Canada", I would always lean toward something that was "Made in the USA" before even considering "Made in China". As of today, I will not be buying anything that is "Made in the USA" if I can avoid it. "Made in China" isn't so bad today. #Canada

What’s your go-to ham radio setup for making contacts? QRP in the field, a powerful base station, or something unique? #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

In all honesty, the radio system you want to look into for occasional use would be GMRS. No test and I think a small fee at most. You’ll probably get about the same range as baofeng

You’re making it hard for me to justify staying with you when you keep raising prices, and cancelling shows mid run. I’m on the verge of cancelling my decade old sub and pirating your content.

000

Not only is it worth it, it’s a legal requirement to have a license to operate one, even a junky little Baofeng.

Let them be. They are in the “find out” stage… So I’m sure if it gets really bad, there will be a massive uprising or a coup d’etas. This honeymoon won’t last long, once it really hits the plebs who voted him in.

I agree with loving CW, and CW is magic too. Don't need a computer, just a pair of ears and some practice.
