Been quietly developing a new #hamradio product! This physical device will make an amazing addition to any #ham shack out there. Coming very soon and I'm looking for a few beta testers. Interested? Drop into my discord and lets chat! discord.com/channels/575... #amateurradio #vhf #uhf #dx #cq

Pretty easy to implement. I will have to spend some time testing this out.

Wish the FCC would dish out my call sign already, they've had my $35 a few days already. Storms inbound tonight and would be nice if I could relay critical information if needed. #ham #arrl

Get ready for it. The copyright smackdown is coming. As soon as these companies figure out they are missing out on millions in revenue, they are going to come for 3D modelers making money off the brands. The fact they are seeing it now for merchandising means that time is very close.

This is a super handy piece of software. Ability to send files peer to peer securely with minimal effort is awesome. Would love to see this turn into a tool for Android/iOS for sharing. Sure you can use the browser but an integration would be easier to use.

So far the most humorous of #hamradio technician questions. I assure you, someone is only going to make this mistake once. 💥
Which of the following can damage a multimeter?

A.
Not allowing it to warm up properly
B.
Attempting to measure voltage when using the resistance setting
C.
Attempting to measure resistance using the voltage setting
D.
Failing to connect one of the probes to ground

The correct answer is B

I picked up an RTL-SDR for $45 and the amateur radio bug finally got me. I'm cramming all this week to take the ARL Exam this weekend. Given my background in electronics most of the questions have been easy. Anyone have a tip or question that always tripped them up? #hamradio #amateurradio #radio

Russia Is Hijacking US Military Satellites
The US Military operates several communication satellites with open repeaters, meaning any signal they receive gets rebroadcast. This has been exploited by various groups, including Russian users around Ukraine. I checked out some of these signals on various webSDR streams, some of which you can find below: http://websdr.org/ http://kiwisdr.com/public/ https://rx-tx.info/map-sdr-points (To find WebSDRs with SATCOM streams, you'll want to filter by 260MHz) You can learn more about the UHF Satcom system here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Satellite_Communications_System And the UHF Follow-On (UFO) system here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UHF_Follow-On_satellite Saveitforparts t-shirts and other merch at https://saveitforparts.myspreadshop.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNLRcEn78Vc62C3GkMvBgtA/join Or support me via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/saveitforparts Check out gadgets and devices I like at https://www.amazon.com/shop/saveitforparts
