@AlanAtTek That is cool and not in the least suppressing.

Working a quick pileup from SK6SAQ at the World Heritage Site of Grimeton radio station SAQ. #SAQ #hamradio

@M0SKN_SA5IKN Probably...

@M0SKN_SA5IKN Heard you on the RS-44 uplink just now... 📡📶

You know how you instinctively hold your breath when trimming stuff? With these little crystals being such great thermometers it does make sense not to breathe at them...

Ref. freq. adjustment on my newest rig... If an FT-847 can be called new...

Living at 59 north has some weird twists to it. Like sunglasses while driving at 10 PM.

@AlanAtTek There be traffic all over... Qth:Sweden

@DJSnM @irnbru First time I heard of Irn Bru was when Marcus Brigstocke described it as being made out of "girders"...

[Juliusz Sokolowski @SA5JUS]

@DJSnM You crack me up! 😂

@K3TripleR I have a tame electrician on retainer.

@nascom1 Also, as I understand it at least, USB ranging (JPL developed i belive) was the primary mode of navigation. Inertial got all the glory but USB was how they actually got to lunar orbit. That ranging pseudo-random code arrangement they used was kind similar to how GPS does it.

@nascom1 Have you seen this?

[Juliusz Sokolowski @SA5JUS]

@nascom1 I think it’s an occupational thing. If you do it for a living it looses a bit of it’s magic. At least it does for me. Even though, I’m happy there are people out there that preserve this stuff. I’d hate to see the knowledge get lost in time.

[Juliusz Sokolowski @SA5JUS]

@AlanAtTek Don't be so sure. You live in New Jersey. Princeton and Bell Labs are crawling with them :)

[Juliusz Sokolowski @SA5JUS]

@AlanAtTek I will.

[Juliusz Sokolowski @SA5JUS]

@nascom1 @dave_universetf We have a similar problem in ATC. In tech. ops. we have to understand RF theory and be able to splice coax, use a VNA and do hands on fault-finding. It's hard to find candidates that have that theoretical background, hands experience and that are willing to work ops.

@nascom1 @damienmiller S-band going out of style?

[Juliusz Sokolowski @SA5JUS]

@nascom1 @damienmiller I read somwhere that you have two S-band TX on the 70 meter. One rated at 20 kW and the other at 400 kW. Is that still the case? If so, when is that used? Radar?
