My Android userbase for #QRV is now double the Mac userbase! iOS is still way out in the lead, though. I don't use it on my Pixel nearly as much as iOS/Mac, so feedback is much appreciated! #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Quick update for QRV is coming. On the Duo, folding and unfolding will stop always opening the sidebar. On all versions, there's a button in the Callsign Lookup results that will open their lat/lon or address in your mapping app.

New update coming for #QRV! In addition to the big UI changes for iPad and prep for iPhone Duo, QRZ lookups will now show more information on every platform.

Well, I think that I have to remove SOTA entirely from QRV. I had it temporarily disabled in the app and in my API, but I don't foresee any changes to their API policy. Head over to sotawatch.sota.org.uk/en/ for all of your SOTA spotting needs!

Stupid iPhone Duo is making me fix the navigation architecture of QRV. Thanks, John Ternus.

#QRV for iPad is getting a makeover to bring it closer to the Mac version than the iPhone version. This will also apply to folks with an iPhone Duo! 👀

When I check for users per gridsquare in the #QRV database, the 3rd highest count come from The Hague. Should I be nervous?

Now that the Android launch settled down, I have time to look at new features for #QRV. Next: Follow along with IARU beacons. See the schedule, see which frequencies are being used, and see where transmissions are coming from on a map! Early stages, but I hope to have something in the next week.

IDK what's going on, but my macOS update for QRV that includes accounts and full cross-platform sync with Android has been help up In Review by Apple for over a week now. I sent them an email on Friday, but no response yet.

OK, I actually had not heard Choosing Texas by Ella Langley, but something about this whole debate rang a bell. Turns out I've only heard the Hildegard von Blingin' adaptation: Choosin' Wessex. If you haven't heard Choosin' Wessex at this point, it may more about the listener than the song.

Currently working on my Stratum 1 timekeeping setup at home. The PPS module is wired up to a Raspberry Pi and collecting data, but I'm waiting for it to collect a bunch of data for a final calibration. My FT8 is about to be soooooo accurate. Side note: IPEX connectors can burn in hell

GPS Raspberry Pi NTP Server

This post details how to create a stratum-1 NTP Server using a Raspberry Pi utilizing GPS and PPS, and get time within 100 nanoseconds of real time, directly from the atomic clocks located in the GPS ...

#QRV 1.28 is out on iOS! 1.18 for Mac is still being reviewed. This adds a bunch of fixes, plus better account management. You can stay with iCloud and change nothing, but now you can see all your signed in devices. When Android releases, this will let you sync and share your premium purchase.

Can someone at Apple please speed up my app review? Thx

By the way. I've been hunting for a new iOS Dev opportunity for the last 4 months. Want help with the iPhone Duo makeover? Launching a startup that needs an iOS app? I can set up the coding/building infrastructure, CI pipelines, architecture, and ship your product.

You might notice that SOTA spots have stopped appearing in #QRV. Their team has changed the terms of the API, and I am evaluating whether it's feasible to continue providing SOTA spots. They have valid reasons, so no hard feelings in their direction. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Sorry about the slowed pace of development on #QRV. I've been nose to the grindstone on the Android port, and it's required a ton of changes on the Apple side, too! I think I'll hit my self-imposed release deadline of Sept. 30th, and then I have some fun new features to add.

If anyone wants to go yolo (or was prepping) and passes the on site technician test here at 10a at #vcfmw. Come find me with your proof and I'll give you a 5r mini. Nothing fancy but not a terrible first ht. #hamradio. I've got two available. First come first serve.

Database migrations are scary stuff. Spent a lot of time stress-testing it on my Staging server (only for my testing) and found a few gotchas along the way. Happy to say that the production migration went off without a hitch! This will enable big things for #QRV soon :)

Going to be honest, porting to Android has made me realize why people don't develop for Android.
