N3VEM

He/Him
Ham radio op N3VEM. Into HF mostly, but also run a repeater, and dabble with rockets a little bit as a cross-over hobby.

#UnitarianUniversalist - Respecter of the living web & justice is for everyone.

Ask me why I don’t own a microwave.

I have a day job, but it's not what defines me - I'd rather talk about #HamRadio, #ModelRockets, #SocialJustice, #Electronics, #DIY, #Making or anything else you are passionate about.

Might swear a little when angry. Sorry.

@VE2UWY believe it or not, there are still some cities that have their gamewell boxes in service. A smaller one near me, York PA does, and I think Boston might still have theirs.

@KC3OWU oh very nice! This is for sure right up my alley - thanks for the recommendation!

@croyle @kr1st it did come with a decent little bump in pay - not huge, but defiantly bigger than what our usual raises have been

Most excellent news that I had hinted at a couple weeks back -

I signed the offer letter for a new job yesterday!

It's the same company I work for now, but I'm moving out of back office process improvement/project management, and into a Product Manager job with our new product development team. Instead of projects where we figure out how to keep cash longer and let it go slower, I'll get to work with the development of hardware and firmware that is used in our company's Fire Alarm Systems.

Because of that long drive I have no #HamRadioWorkBench podcasts left to catch up on. I didn't think it was possible, but I have run out of workbench- I need an emergency bonus episode for my lawn mowing today.

@k8vsy @KC8JC @VE2UWY +1 for Sheetz

2025-05-22

@AF0AJ @k8vsy yeah - please look them up - it's like... delicious sandwiched between awesome πŸ˜€

2025-05-22

@k8vsy @VE2UWY yeah, in central PA "You Guys" are eating "Whoopie Pies" and drinking "soda".

We won't talk about what goes on in Philly. Something about the food and coffee at Wawa screws with their brains πŸ˜€

2025-05-22

@VE2UWY yup. In Western PA yinz are eating gobs and drinking pop.

I am back in my home state of Pennsylvania which means I have a little over 4 hours left in my drive home but in the meantime hello to all my friends in Western PA

2025-05-21

Hello again to all of my Ohio ham radio friends on passing through on my way home and waving at all of you as I go

2025-05-21

@wd9gco - thought of you as I was zipping past the exit for Valparaiso on the expressway. I'll wave out my window on the way home when I pass again πŸ˜€

2025-05-19

Arrived safe and sound. Have a nice view of Lake Michigan from my room. Had a video chat with the family, and now I'm going to eat dinner and crash

2025-05-19

@VE2UWY maybe the construction routed around the cheese wall

2025-05-18

At some point when I wasn't looking I crossed the line into Wisconsin so getting close to the end of my trip

2025-05-18

What are you supposed to do at the bong recreation area

2025-05-18

Hello Illinois

2025-05-18

@HopelessDemigod if I had more time to pack, I would have thrown in my portable stuff, which would have included the ability for 6m. Unfortunately the lead up to this trip was a bit hectic, and I didn't get to sort through my traveling stuff, which hasn't been out for like 5 or 6 years.

Goodbye Ohio hello Indiana
