@flo_0_@DavidGr06270644 As there is no free Twitter API anymore, it could boil down to scrape the profile page...but it relies that his postings are in the same format always.
Other approach: add some (password protected) backend/interface for him so he can enter the activities on the page on bis own?

@g7soz@Icom_Inc_Japan@RohdeSchwarz Speaking for myself, I am very happy with it so far and it matches my expectations. Today, first time in portable outdoor contest operation, was definitely a success!
But as always (and perhaps especially in HAM Radio), it depends on what you want to focus on.
Participated at the SHF day of the summer bavarian mountain contest (https://t.co/FerXg6mcPy) for the first time. Weather was a mess, 10-12°C on top of Herzogstand and heavy rain esp. in the morning. Enjoyed it nevertheless with two fellow OMs. Nice Qs on 23/13/9/6 cm #hamradio
@FG8OJ I have a similar setup for linears (TX 818, RX 705), very happy with the combination. 6W is OK for portable for me, no additional PA for now.
Started with 2x818, moved to 818 + Malahit SDR, but 705 for Rx is just my favorite :)
Here another photo from the polarization rotor by @superandz#greencube operation increasingly difficult here on the campsite. QRM, ISM splatter, some kind of repeater triggered on +/-435.312 and even another IO-117 operator 😄
Only QSO this pass: HB9/@FG8OJ 🙏
