@HamBadges @KE9AJ @WA5AZQ The exam is NOT for teaching! That's all of our jobs, but some hams apparently don't want to be helpful and would rather watch their beloved hobby die with them than engage with young/inexperienced operators. So much for elmers.

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@HamBadges @KE9AJ @WA5AZQ Why? What is the benefit of forcing people to front load this learning before even getting their license? The technician exam should be purely regulatory and introductory. This hobby is all about learning as you go, the license lasts 10 years. Plenty of time to learn AC vs DC.

@W8LR_Jerry @wl7t Congrats!

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@W4Zxt I'll check it out, thanks!

Has anyone learned CW using the Koch/Farnsworth method? I'm currently at 18wpm character speed and 9wpm Farnsworth with good copy. What's the best way to close the gap?

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

I finished college! I spent 6 years in total at NYU and while I'm ready to move on, I'll never forget my time there. I'm so grateful for my family for supporting me all this way. Here's to new adventures with my IATSE family!

@cqcqcqdx Is this that PoE I keep hearing about?

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@W3ARDstroke5 Can't wait! I'm seeing it in IMAX Laser at AMC Lincoln next week!

.@NWSILN substantial positive CG lightning in the New California area of Union County just a few minutes ago.

@K0FFY_Radio On Windows I've had good experiences with Orbitron. Easy filtering and printing of passes in a nice readable format.

@G0MFR Alternatively, put it to use as a home lab. I have an old desktop I use for a network ad blocker, some game servers, and media storage.

@W8LR_Jerry If anyone needs EM89 let me know, it's a stones toss from me. I've worked EN80/EM89 grid line before as well. Best of luck with the rove Jerry!

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@W8LR_Jerry Yes, it is. It's called JY1SAT but it's easiest to search for by it's NORAD ID 43803.

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@NU1U_ant Yeah it took me a bit of fiddling to get it working, I tried commas first but I guess it likes spaces. They absolutely need a filter feature though so you can add and remove specific birds.

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@ad8_dm The CPS? Which version are you running? What issue exactly? Also, are you running it in administrator mode?

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@2m0sql That's what I figured. Currently my cloudlog box isn't public facing but I'll chown everything and get it sorted before I put it online. Loving @cloudloghq btw, everything I needed for a modern logging solution!

[Michael KE8KDF @KE8KDF]

@2m0sql is it safe to use the root crontab for executing /var/www/html/cloudlog.sh? The bash script is owned by root so I should be all good, right?
