Working on getting a YT page going. Now I just need to create content.

@K4KHOMetroATL My wife is convinced that "roughing it" means room service closes after midnight.

Hey #amateurradio, does anyone have a source for rack mount rails for a Yaesu FT-857? I'm trying to stack my FT-857 and LDG YT-10 tuner, so I can secure them in the truck. #hamradio

@K3TripleR Is your stealth antenna so large it has a radar cross section?

Where will we put them? In a drawer, or on a shelf!

So, I've spent the last two days at a Kenworth dealership in Abilene, Texas. Early yesterday evening they finally figured out what the problem was, and hopefully mitigated it. Since I cannot leave until they open their gates this morning, I set up my 30 meter vertical antenna and made several contacts last night and this morning. I made contacts in 24 countries, and 15 states. Europe last night, and eastern Asia this morning. But, now it's time to take the antenna down, roll up the coax, and continue on down the road. #hamradio #amateurradio

@Brink_Thinker Great situational awareness when she's grabbing the taser. She actually looks at oncoming traffic to make sure it's clear for her to reach into the traffic lane.

[Dept. of Public Safety @Arizona_DPS]

Colleagues knew him as a steady presence, a trusted teammate, and a cop’s cop.

The Department extends our heartfelt condolences to Trooper Sullivan’s wife, sons, and all of his loved ones. His impact on the Department and the State of Arizona will never be forgotten.

[Dept. of Public Safety @Arizona_DPS]

At the time of his passing, Trooper Sullivan was assigned to Metro West (District 14).

As a highly respected trooper, motor officer, mentor, and leader, he shaped the careers of countless troopers and was recognized across the agency for his integrity and unmatched work ethic.

@KJ5Z_Michael Nope. Gotta run at least a KW into 500 element stacked beams in horizontal polarization.

[Dept. of Public Safety @Arizona_DPS]

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is deeply saddened to announce the off-duty death of Trooper Kelly Sullivan on Sunday, April 26, 2026. Trooper Sullivan served the people of Arizona for 25 years with AZDPS and more than three decades in public service.

@lostisreed I'm sure Hostess or the Keebler elves can come up with something.

[David French (N7FAN) @N7FANDavid]

@KE6ZGP Yes, because that's exactly what FRS is for. They should have spent a little more and gone with gmrs or murs.

@miyamimimiyaken @trucknakanohito Compare to the average over-the-road truck in US. The average sleeper has 70 inches (177cm) of space behind the drivers seat.

@cqohm_global @W6KSR @CQOHM I'd like to work all Japanese grid squares on HF FT8. One station at a time.
