WSPR to Milano, Italy and the Canary Islands with only 5w and an indoor magloop on 30m from Michigan, USA! Continuously amazed by RF propagation and the tools that allow us to explore it all. #HamRadio #Hamr #WSPR #RF #MagLoop #WSJTX #AmateurRadio #AmateurFunk

@K5TA @W6KSR Check their math and also note the gap of missing ages. 🤔😒

@lifeattv @TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube what's the deal? Literally one of the most positive creators I watch and you remove his channel for what? Harassment? Show us the receipts because I don't believe it.

@mike3k25 @tomshardware And you no longer even need DS4Windows. I've been able to just plug the Sony controller into the PC and have everything work for quite a while now.

[Don Watkins | KC7ZXY @KC7ZXY]

@carygolomb Ummm... all you need to do is plug the DualShock controller into the PC using a regular USB cable and it works. This problem was solved many versions of Windows ago. 🤔

@KB7ZUT @BoscoMac I've found that prototypes have a habit of becoming the product. This is especially true after the prototype is demonstrated to the customer and/or management. That part is considered to be "done" and they'll question why you are not yet working on the rest of the features.

@SHARC_ORG The struggle is real. Ask me how I know. 🤫😉

@NASAKennedy I've got a fever and the only prescription is going back to the effing moon!

@frankmhowell "Yes, I did design and test that module. Wait. Wait. Wait. What?!"

@W6KSR The Artemis II astronauts are currently much closer to the moon than they are to the Earth and are moving at less than 1/10 the escape velocity of the Earth.

@QuirkyQRP For when the only solution is to #FengHarder! 😎

@itsme_urstruly Saw the rocket from my front porch, about 140 miles due west of the launch site. I didn't expect to see it at all but decided to give it a chance. Some neighbors on the street came out to look as well. Totally surprised! Awesome experience. 🤓😀

@K0NR @frankmhowell Rather interesting that they mention ham radio at all when airports use CW beacons for identification and navigation. The article says it's only a problem when flying in areas where CW signals are present.

Oh?! Like when flying near airports?

@R4Nd4LL_b @HamRadioOutlet Sometimes it helps to throw a callsign out there when listening. Let folks know someone else is out there.

[Don Watkins | KC7ZXY @KC7ZXY]

@HamRadioOutlet I carry every day. I had been carrying a Yeasu FT-5D. However, lately I've been carrying a BTECH UV-PRO because of it's excellent Bluetooth integration and KISS TNC.
