@EverydayMoggie @gabe_sky I love libre office. Sadly their sheets (excel) is just not great compared to MS Excel.so much so that a few years ago I bought a stand alone excel license even for personal use.

@kyleaa0z @hamvention does this mean the average age of contest participants is going up?

@qrper that is very cool. I need to build my first EFHW so I can try my x6200 with it. I sadly find that my QCX gets out better at 5w than the x6200 at 8!! I wonder if I fried something on the x6200...

@tsherrygeo I fly for business about 2x a year and personal about 1x and ever since COVID I have realized that I do not like the idea of breathing other people's germs.

@Eka_FOOF_A @MelissaBearTrix this is expected to degrade HF use, correct?

@VE6LK lol. Nice

I got some questions on tiktok about what data rates the weak signal #hamradio #amatuerRadio modes like #wspr and #ft8 support. So I made this video in case it is interesting. Keep in mind my audience is people that are not skilled radio operators, consters, or even licensed users.

@tsherrygeo lol I bet it is still only 10points for the activator

I built a #lego set for the first time in 30yrs. I got the #EmiratesNewZealand #AmericasCupSailing set from the 36th cup race of 2024. It is amazing experience and the set has a lot of true to life details matching the actual boat.

@unixorn @darkfox @greem @homeassistant I do love the network topology of zwave that allows greater distance by many devices also acting as repeaters AND that they do not share a spectrum with WiFi or bluetooth

@0y it is unreasonably cool. I've been such a big kid putting this together. The engineering is so neat

I'm usually here for the #amatuerRadio content, but I think Legos aren't too far from our hobby. This is my first #lego set in 30yrs, a fact which might have blown my 10yr old son's brain. This is the winning boat from the 37th #AmericasCupSailing which is the #AC75 class of #hydrofoil flying sailboats #EmiratesNewZealand

@oh8stn what is IFAK?

@johnlogic Encarta encyclopedia?

@jakebechtold @k0nr @ve6lk wow. The optima passes the 705 with 100w support. What else does this have over the 705m

@IU1KGS @VE6LK that seems like a high draw for receive. What is the 7300 on receive?

@thesmokinape that is just for common mode current, right?

@HopelessDemigod what / why is swan an issue?

@tsherrygeo wow that seems like a really odd band to be that popular

@jfbastien ohhhhh programming joke that if you don't know programming you think it is about temperature.
