@VE6LK I usually take mine out of the trunk by this time of year, but I’ll keep it in just in case.

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

I hope everyone has fun at Dayton this year! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it next year

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

Merry New Year, everyone. I didn’t get on HF in 2025. Life happened. For 2026, I can’t guarantee life will be any easier, but I’m going to try to give more time to radio.

On the list of YouTube recommended videos I have to watch is Mark Knopfler picking with Chet Atkins, Certified Guitar Picker.

Hey @FS1 See you mentioned the MHSAA football champions that played Friday at Ford Field. You might have missed Harbor Beach in your montage. They won the Division 8 championship Friday morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

It’s going on now!

@KiloRomeoFour It’s a left knee location reminder.

Thanks to the London Amateur Radio Club for a fun hamfest this morning! It was a fun visit across the border!

While the weather down here was pretty calm, it was a little different in the thumb area. The first part of this video is a tornado which was videoed by Lieutenant Doug Confer of the Deckerville Fire Department.

The ending is the path on the ground captured by MSP Aviation.

Just another reason why it is important to take shelter when a tornado warning is issued.

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

There was a tornado in the neighborhood this afternoon. There was no warning because the convective activity was below radar height.

One neighbor lost his barn and another had some damage to his house. There was also some crop damage along the section. Thankfully no injuries.

@MVWphoto Don’t forget your hunting and fishing licenses, any professional licenses, and of course your License to Ill.

@WA4OSH @hamvention @ADSBex Thanks for the recommendation!

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

One of my @hamvention purchases was a receiver kit from @ADSBex Needed a Raspberry Pi to get it all up and running. This is going to be fun to play with. I think I’m going to get the 978 MHz receiver next.

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

@WA4OSH @hamvention @ADSBex There probably isn’t going to be a lot of 978 traffic in my area, but it might be worth a shot. I’m feeding ADSB Exchange and FlightRadar 24 right now. I’d love to find a solution to decode ACARS but need to learn more about that

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

We at least got a couple group pics this weekend!

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

@thek5yvy I walked by you twice on Thursday and thought I’d get a chance to say hello later in the weekend! That’s the way it works out, I guess!

[Brian WM8G @BrianWM8G]

Hamvention was a blast this year! I tried to catch up with all my old friends and meet up with new ones, but unfortunately didn’t get to see everyone I was hoping to.

This year seemed a little off as far as running into people.
