A ham interested in HF, Digital Modes, and CW. Trying really hard to make the airwaves a welcoming space for ALL operators. Yes, I'm a boring old white dude but I'm friendly!

@kr1st @F4LUB The tuner on that beast is incredible. No joke!

The weather forecast can't seem to make up its mind but it's clear that today won't be clear. Lots of rain. That's not great for radio or cycling. Plenty to do around the shack though.

Nice to be back home, but nice to have three pleasant #POTA activations during the trip, all in Kansas, including two at US-9178 β€” helping bolster my park activator lead there! πŸ˜‚

It was piddling with rain today, however, so the JPC-12 whip is currently fully extended in the ham shack, drying out, along with the other bits in the kit. πŸ’¦

I ❀️ POTA

Does anyone know if there is a way to bulk edit the visibility of your toots?

@kilroy_was_here Maybe set up a Nextcloud instance and move it there. Then you can still have it locally and maybe public with a login, etc?

This rain is really bumming me out. Tomorrow should be better. I feel some POTA coming on...

I'm from Ohio but lived in Philly for about 7 years. Wawa has THE BEST sandwiches for on the go people. A hoagie from Wawa will always be good and will always be a much better sandwich than any gas station should offer.

The MTO game, however, goes to Sheetz and we all know it. If I could have one of each store in cycling distance, I'd be a pretty happy camper!

@N9DRB That’s the most fun option (for your neighbors).

@N9DRB Try a pinwheel or some kind of moving thing. Works wonders around these parts.

Looks like rain until Friday. I have a short window to get a ride in today, but I doubt that I will get an activation done. Which, judging by the solar weather report, isn't a huge loss. Maybe.

Plenty to keep me occupied in the shack though!

@F4LUB Ha! They actually asked me what color I wanted. It’s the farthest back molar in my mouth. I told the dentist he could choose because he would be the only one to see it!

Got a temporary crown today. My mouth feels less than optimal. Sigh.

It's gonna be a long day, team. I'm changing out the batteries in the Grand Cherokee. Ya know, the batteries they conveniently placed under the passenger seat?

The only thing worse is swapping a headlight on a 2001 VW Golf TDI.

There's a reason I like working on Wranglers and old Chevy S-10s...my hands fit!

Not thrilled.
