If you’re a ham radio operator please put your call sign in your display name. It makes it a lot easier to figure out who is who. 73 #hamradio

Headed in the Huntsville this morning! Looking forward to the Hamm fest. It is amazing how many APRS Beacon I am seeing on my map this morning on my drive. #hamradio

Today I realized something as a #Shortwave Radio Listener. I no longer want to read or hear about “the good old days” or what stations no longer broadcast. I want to hear about who I can listen to today. What stations can I still support instead of being down because a station went off the air.

Got my COMET CA-2X4SRNMO Antenna installed on my truck dedicated to only APRS. Can’t wait to see the improvement in APRS with this antenna. Using APRS with a dedicated #APRS transmitter from Byonics #hamradio #ARRL

Got a little time in on #FieldDay this evening. Just got a few QSOs this time. Just busy day #HamRadio

Just saw this. As a former San Mateo resident it’s great to see this #fieldday #hamradio

I appreciate ARRL. They do a lot behind the scenes lobbying in congress. I feel QST magazine is worth the dues alone. Are they perfect? No. And if you don’t like it don’t join. No one is forcing anyone to join.

It’s not about followers for me. It’s simply I forget to look at both.

Brian, W4BJB, WRTE415 @w4bjb.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

I’m starting to lean that way

Brian, W4BJB, WRTE415 @w4bjb.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

I have a ham radio Bluesky account and a personal one. Giving a lot of thought of just combining them by stop posting on here and using the other account primarily. Any thoughts?

I do Winlink using VARA FM, VARA HF & Packet almost daily. But I have no idea what WOAD is

people use Vara to connect to Winlink. You compose your email in win link but send it through various ways, including VARA

Brian, W4BJB, WRTE415 @w4bjb.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Here in America Winlink is extremely popular. It’s used often in natural disasters and sometimes is the one of the only ways to communicate. Personally I love it. I just don’t understand why RSGB would be negative on it. AARL here supports it. A net in Florida gets 100s weekly checking in

Question for UK Ham Radio operators. I don’t see much of anything in the UK for Winlink. Is it not used there? It’s extremely active here in the states #hamradio #winlink

Watching the Atalanta Venezia match. Putting the game aside TV coverage is so much better when there are 2 people discussing the game vs 1 person trying to do it all #soccer

I would very highly recommend that you join NASWA, The North American Shortwave Association. Their monthly publication is full of information

We need more Sports Teams, especially soccer, posting regularly on here. The sam They are simply going to lose a lot of their fan base since 10s of millions of us have abandoned 𝕏. I don’t want to read some guy in his mother’s basement masquerading as a soccer club or league #soccer

Nice to meet you Paul. Getting to Ireland is on my bucket list. This account is my Ham Radio/Weather account. My main one is at @bjboulden.com if your interested

I’ve been in Toastmasters for years and got my Advanced Communicator Gold. About 4 years ago they changed their program to “Pathways” which (IMHO) no where as good as the old program. Still good but not great as it was

Big Snow storm tomorrow in Middle Tennessee. So big @jimcantore.bsky.social is in Nashville. So stay home. Light a fire 🔥 and put on your favorite @mrpeterframpton.bsky.social vinyl and just be safe. Let’s not make this the 2nd Donner Party #nashville #tennessee #Wx #snowstorm

Yeah I agree. They don’t want to lose their large following on 𝕏. What they don’t realize is you can be active on multiple platforms. A few are here and it’s slowly growing.

Brian, W4BJB, WRTE415 @w4bjb.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Football (⚽️Soccer, not NFL🏈) is one of the few games where you can be 60 minutes into it and 0-0 is an exciting match. Watching Wrexham, wondering when they will start posting on here. Same for Manchester United, and in English for @acffiorentina.bsky.social
