@Professor_Stevens I’m sure this product has been the butt of many jokes.

@MLE_online were chicks at Tractor Supply Company?

@npr @politics-npr What won’t he?

@hambot I wonder if he intended his audio to be buried by the music?

We had a blast at the Physics and Engineering Festival today! Our club took the opportunity to demonstrate concepts and applications from all over the magical world of radio. We discussed how signals can get around the world, how computers interact with radio, and how to get involved! We are thankful for the opportunity to participate and look forward to doing even more demonstrations next year!

Two children looking intently at a large VHF/UHF radio with their mother leaning in and smiling. One of the children is holding a microphone, participating in a demonstration.A wide shot of a club member explaining the QSL cards sitting on the table. Several people are leaning over the table to look at the cards.A wide shot of three people hula-hooping while holding handheld radios. One of them is talking into their radio, and the other two are listening.A picture of three club members sitting at the demonstration table, smiling and giving a Gig'Em (thumbs up). Draped in front of the table is a sign with the letters W5AC which is the club callsign. In the background is a large yagi antenna made using tape-measures and suspended using a tripod.

@qrper Years ago, took my 891 to a summit only to find that I left the power cable at home. No contacts, not even a VHF contact. You asked for “most embarrassing” which is a tough ask. :)

@bibianaprinoth There have got to be some good quote by Janna Levin.

@MLE_online Sometimes kids aren’t too bright. At my school some kids broke into the animation class and stole two 8 mm cameras (this was long ago). The cameras were recovered and when the teacher had the film developed the kids had all filmed each other.

@ian Very nice!

@georgetakei They have apparently reopened today.

@ai6yr Wait until 2028 and sell it for twice what you paid for it.

@ai6yr I just checked my HOA rules. They tell me what color I can paint my house, but no mention of helicopters. Looks like I am in luck!

@kr1st @M0CUV The web-based QST reader has a “print to pdf” button. If you “select all pages” it allows you to download a freely copyable pdf. So it is possible although you have to go through a few steps.

@openrtx Using a crappy AI generated image reduces the credibility of your organization dramatically.
