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

With the HOA probably going to try the old stealth gutter approach. Have a small dipole for the SDR but gonna likely build the big one yours talking about when I start with POTA.

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

Yup, application is there, still pending and already paid the $35 for the license. I keep checking ULS in hope it's just an email problem. No call sign yet. 😞

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.

I still don't understand why TikTok on any level would give up some form of ownership and control to simply have your platform in the US. Talk about gangster style "protection". Seriously fucked up.

Just a friendly tip that has worked for me to help reduce occurrence of color mismatches between rolls.

Makers Mashup @makersmashup.bsky.social · 17/03/2025
When I buy filament in colors I use all the time (white, black etc) I match lot numbers on the boxes and store them that way. Then the chance of this happening is greatly reduced. If you have a couple of machines, you can always use the roll from the other machine in a pinch to wrap a print.

I took a breath and checked hamstudy.org, running through half a dozen questions. If I had passed, it would've been sheer luck—not how I want to do it. I'll study hard between now and 4/15 and try to get both General and Extra at the same time, if its permitted.

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

That might be a bit much to bite off before the weekend but appreciate the Tip. I'll def give it a go if I have enough time to study general before the test. Totally appreciate the tip!

Thanks for the tip! I'm almost all the way through hamstudy.org study flash cards. I like this way the site works. Feel like about 3/4 of the questions are common sense and/or in my wheel house. Have a lot to learn yet but its very ham specific vs. general electronics, safety, etc.

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

Can't sell ya new shows if you're watching the shows you want. Paramount is my least favorite who despite a commercial free plan places "small interruptions" to market other shows. They don't care at all about your needs, only their bottom line. #cbs #paramount sucks.
