@K3TripleR Didn't do much Basic, but did some Fortran in college. Back then, a computer lab was a room full of terminals connected to the university super computer.

@mwfoutch1 Moxon antenna? That looks fairly simple to build - at least its not huge. I would like to get a 6 meter antenna.

@HB9VQQ For me, it was fun for a few months. After a while, I wanted to try something more challenging, so I learned CW and am loving it.

@MPLSlightning @NASA I think the time shown is zulu time (GMT) not the pacific time zone

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@RFconsultantUK That is strange. And this weekend I heard what sounded like someone playing the flute or recorder. The signal was weak on 20 meters in CW mode, when I switched to ssb I couldn’t hear it. Weird.

@Jonatha74268164 Nice antenna!

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@K0LWC That you are actually talking to people by voice. Only a small percent of my qso’s are ssb - most are cw.

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@KI5MJH nice!

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@cqcqcqdx That’s how chuck norris solders

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@cqcqcqdx I bought a cheap power strip from Amazon. The outlets were 3-prong but the power cord was only 2-prong (i.e. no ground).

@SHARC_ORG Does it come in black for hams that live in a HOA? 😆😆😆

@hamateur_hour The constest requires a sequential serial number for each qso. I would like to participate but am too embarased to exchange a 1 for my first qso.

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@paul_vk6 Nice! I hear those can pull in a weak signal better than other radios.

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@Charleswsgc579 Looks good. The shelves are nice.

[Greg / K4GR @KI4ESK]

@Charleswsgc579 I just gave you your first web contact.

@Captgccs A tornado hit my 30’ mast (top rails) a few years ago and bent it over like a fishing pole. Good thing is they are cheap and can be replaced easily (with helpers).

@KN4YZY_Corey And like I always say to my family, it beats watching tv.

What do hams use to measure the outdoor temperature? I would like to use my computer, but the little weather widget on Windows 11 alternates the temperature with other info. Not good in the middle of a cw qso. If I buy a bluetooth therm, would it interfere with my radio?
