#HamRadio operators, please consider giving a little to this #Fundraiser for Leslie Williams: Support Lee N3APP, Erie’s #Radio Hero. He could really use some help this holiday season.

Don't forget to wear POTA orange. Here is a good example why: youtu.be/yezliT__xvk

Is there a remote-controlled HF station down in Australia that I can use with my VK callsign?

W2RE was live-streaming the contact at his end, see (the 1-watt experiment starting at 21:13): youtu.be/7VtDt3s5rzs?t=1271

The 10m #hamradio band was fully open yesterday: I could hear Ray W2RE from hamradio247.com/ (his station in Maine) in Finland with transmit power of 1 WATT ONLY!

My remote station OG7J was of course running webradiocontrol.tech/ software :)

Good morning y'all! Cold and breezy in the lower Susquehanna valley, which will continue pretty much all week and into the weekend. It's making those outdoor outings I did on weekends too much of a challenge, as I find that as I get older, my body does not tolerate the cold as well as it did in my younger days.

Got through all of my projects that were due by the end of the year and sent them on for approval. The latest one came back with editing change requests, but it's not a lot of work compared to the "lift" I had to do with the original project.

Randi, I am sorry to hear that you are having more health challenges. Take it easy. Hoping you get better quickly and painlessly. Kitty compresses for the win!

Amy mentioned it doesn't feel like Christmas time; I'm feeling the same way. It's starting to feel like a chore. instead of enjoying time with friends and family. Maybe the Grinch spirit is taking over, supported by all of the mayhem and chaos in the world.

Worked a lot on my #amateurradio #AREDN projects over the last week, and managed to solve some of the linking problems. Hoping to have enough nodes in place over the next two years that are not dependent on the internet or cellular networks to pass public safety data during outages and infrastructure disruptions.

I hope and pray that everyone has a great day and a great week. Stay safe, and let's be careful out there today!

Semper Gumby!

Attention Pride Radio Network users: I was banned from Echolink over a simple policy disagreement. As a result, both Echolink nodes for the US portion of the Pride Radio Network were deleted by Echolink itself. I will attempt to get the ban lifted. In the meantime, please use one of the Australian Echolink nodes if you wish to connect via that system.

Wow, I just got banned from Echolink for simply telling support that I didn't agree with their one callsign per user policy, such petty people. I'm demanding my access to Echolink be restored.

Seriously, Echolink? WTF? How am I supposed to use my valid callsign? They need to change this absurd policy!

#hamradio #amateurradio #echolink

A screenshot of the contents of the email Echolink sent me. It reads the following:

I’ve recently moved and have started looking into vertical antennas for my new place. I came across a number of videos where people are discussing HF (all bands) vertical antennas with no ground plane.

Some people swear by them, while others describe them as just dummy loads.

What’s your thought? Can a single antenna like this do it all?

Great news! My Australian callsign was granted! I am now the proud holder of two callsigns! KJ7OMO and VK5OMO!
