I recently moved and there’s a ham club (mmmmm ham club) in town that I want to check out.

They’re having a field day that I plan on attending and meeting the locals.

Kinda want one now. Also, having a hard time discerning where that is allocated from this chart. Mobile?

Seems like it might just be a charging port?

or like lemmy? kagi is also very pro activity pub. this feature is kinda old actually. give it a try! also give kagi search a try

This is very one sided. There’s SO much more to ham radio than voice.

Maybe the question is “How do we get people to think that ham radio is more than just a voice call?”

If you’re in the US, you can test online! https://hamstudy.org/sessions/remote

I do agree that the test itself could be tuned down a bit, especially for the tech license. hamstudy.org also has all of the test questions available online to help you study.

Might have luck at !techsupport@lemmy.world

It would be nice if your ticket came with a subscription to Scientific America and some whiskey tho

Don’t let nestle find this out

As an instance owner and moderator: that’s a horrible way to look at things. Just throwing the onus onto someone else is irresponsible.

I’m all for it as long as people know that posting on something like mastodon and tagging a lemmy community will then make a post in that community. Could make for great discussions, but could also lead to a lot of posts/spam in the communities.

Those are all great options for sure. And while not an exact answer to your question, you could maybe go a bit simpler (and cheaper) for just 2, 10, & 20m like an end fed half wave.

Thoughts on how you’ll run it to your second floor?

It’s not a slogan, just the title of the article 😊 it does go on to state that the spirit isn’t much different and how it’s used differently today. Glad you like lemmy.radio!

For lemmy: it’s mostly link sharing, so I’d mostly see posting about *OTA experiences, pics, questions here in the POTA/SOTA communities.

Mastodon, on the other hand, would just be one way to show something like that since it’s more time related and ephemeral. Bot was my first stab at something like you mean, but I do think there could be something to auto-post with all that data.

And while not on the fediverse: I use hamspot for something like this. It flips the onus of posting a spot to actually listening FOR a spot from people you know around the fediverse.

BUT if we want to let our ideas get REALLY wild with it: I could totally see a federated service for spotting or any *OTA related activity. Different instances handing different kinds of spots. Parks or summits or islands being different items that people can subscribe to, spot from, and activate. Just spit ballin’.

I could see a community used for spotting. Not sure how the browser extension part would work.

I see people post a sorta self-spot on mastodon all the time. Something that might be nice is a mastodon bot that could read a certain hashtag or if it was @ed so everyone could follow the bot to see who is activating.

Is there an article/source for this, or is it just a pic of a phone with a lock on it?

Yea, it’s just the title and no link. To the top with you for the source!

This is the same team that received from Voyager I in December 2024: https://www.camras.nl/en/blog/2024/dwingeloo-telescope-receives-signals-from-voyager-1/

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that website. What was/is it?

edit*

oh was that the rss feed site? I’m not sure what happened.

Supposed to be freezing and rainy here. Not sure I’ll make it out to a park, but I’ll try my best to hunt for y’all!
