Thank you to everyone helping with both #ribbit and #rfbitbanger, and with all the #fpga work for #neptune and #Haifuraiya
We couldn't do it without you. Some great #opensource #hamradio work going on supported by @OpenResearchIns and #ARRL, #qsotoday, #RAPAC, and more.
New #QSOToday episode released a few days ago. “Kyle Krieg AA0Z, says that #radio, in his case #CBRadio, was the pre-internet social network that he used with his friends in his mid-west rural town. Imagine American Graffiti with radios. Eventually learning that #AmateurRadio can take Kyle to a higher level, AA07 jumped in completely, immersing himself in #POTA - Parks on the Air, portable operation, software defined radio, and remote control. . .” #KE0FFTpodcasts ~ https://www.qsotoday.com
Next up on #QSOtoday is "A Shortened HF Antenna" by @abraxas3d!
“…Once upon a time, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we introduced the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo. Six fantastic Expos later, it's time for a shift. A shift towards learning, innovation, and connection in the world of amateur radio. Welcome to the #QSOTodayAcademy !
Mark your calendars for our first event on September 9th and 10th, 2023, where our journey towards a new era of #AmateurRadio exploration begins…” ~ #hamr #HamRadio #QSOToday ~ https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/
Got myself a ticket to QSO Today Academy because the program looks really interesting and there’s lots of stuff in my field of interest!
(And other reasons.)
@mattgriffin in the case of #qsotoday ham expo, with a phone call. Bob Interbitzen called Eric Guth to school him on how it was gonna be.
RATPAC's lead, Dan Marler, received a series of aggressively negative emails from David Minster. The latest round of decisioneering at #ARRL is that no one from the League should accept invitations to present at RATPAC, and an email directing some divisions to "not use any RATPAC videos for training".
Specifically singling out RATPAC as competition for LC.
There's something that's happened recently over at the #arrl, which is the national #hamradio organization for the USA.
ARRL identified, by name, clubs and organizations that produce educational videos as "being in competition with" the ARRL "Learning Center".
ARRL then retaliated against these clubs and organizations, calling them up and stating that these organizations *would be excluded from ARRL publications and partnerships*
Firsthand, #qsotoday and #ratpac are affected.
This is bad.
The #defcon Show Special for #RFBitBanger, an #opensource #HF #QRP kit featuring the #scamp #digital mode and a class E amplifier design, has Sold Out.
Next stop is #qsotoday Academy on 9-10 September with a talk by team lead Dr. Daniel Marks. Event registration here https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/

Thank you to everyone here that has helped so much for the #hf #antenna work. It will be presented at #qsotoday academy in September.
This is a shortened antenna that uses a meandered or linear load instead of coils or capacitors. It's a design with a long history but is not as well known as it should be.
@M0YNG I mention you and this server in the presentation, and recommend hams to come here.
It's a real privilege to have such a positive and supportive community.
Slides done, script done - recording the talk for #qsotoday academy about the #shortened #hf antenna work is next. I think I'm tardy in turning it in. 🙄
Voice still not totally recovered from running the #opensource #digital #radio exhibit at #defcon. So, I did not get very far into the 3300 words or so I got going on here before I had to quit for the night.
The script needs some additional editing to be a decent article. That attempt will begin after the recording is complete.
@abraxas3d First and foremost stay safe out there, I hope you weather #hurricane #Hilary safely.
Thank you for sharing this design - when are you doing the talk with #qsotoday? I don’t listen to that one regularly, however I’d like to hear more about this!
Progress on an #hf antenna design. I'm doing a talk about it for #qsotoday. It's a shortened half-wave #dipole from a 1958 #rsgb paper.
We are trying to finish up this prototype before #hurricane #Hilary hits.
I enjoyed doing this interview with Eric Guth, 4Z1UG/WA6IGR for his QSO Today podcast.
He got me talking about how I got started in amateur radio, how it influenced my career choices, my satellite work, my educational outreach using the AMSAT CubeSatSim, and high altitude balloon launches. He even asked about my standards work in the past with Session Initiation Protocol SIP!
