At the possibly niche intersection of #hamr and Eurovision Song Contest, we asked the teams participating in WRTC 2026 to provide 'postcards' of themselves at home, which we used throughout our live streams. Here they are as a montage: youtu.be/i03tdAd5NN0?...

I've neglected to say this on Bluesky yet but I'm one of the team bringing the #hamr community live coverage of the WRTC 2026 contest. Join us on www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJos...

Currently on holiday in South-West France. Last week, a patisserie 25 minutes' drive away from me won 'Best patisserie in France' on French TV. It would have been rude not to pay them a visit. I can confirm, it's delicious.

Is it fair to ask 'What the hell just happened?' #eurovision

Gorgeous morning for a #sota activation with M0VFC and @m1geo.com on the summit of Cornden Hill (GW/MW-013) in the Welsh Borders

Happy New Year to all my followers! I'll try to be a bit more active on Bluesky in 2026. "I now declare this bazaar open" #SameProcedureAsLastYear

At 6pm tonight (Christmas Eve) and repeated at 5pm tomorrow, Cambridge Radio has the annual Rotary schools' carol concert, which I recorded and produced. Online at cambridge.radio, on smart speaker, the Radioplayer app and 105FM/DAB in Cambridge.

Good morning from Paradise!

Good morning!

Unexpected climate change consequence: French TV news reports that 50 years ago, births of French babies peaked in early June. Now, it's end July. Suspected cause: September nights are now too warm for action under the covers, so conceptions are happening later in autumn!

Why could I possibly want to redesign an Ali Express DCDC 3 times? I'll be talking at the RSGB Convention on the importance of switch mode power supply PCB layout in a month's time. Would be great to see you if you're around.

I was unaware of this. Thank you! Looks very useful.

Lovely weekend away in my caravan in the Peak District activating a few SOTA summits

In Snowdonia for a long weekend, where I've been doing a few SOTA activations. I seem to have been generally lucky with the weather.

I really like this idea. Another really bad example I've seen recently was 'I asked ChatGPT which stocks to pick'. Clearly fails the 'I asked my mate Dave' test.

Good morning! Back in February, I booked this weekend away on the Suffolk coast. I've certainly been very lucky with the weather!

When some of the 'More coming soon' bits get completed, this is going to be a really useful resource.

My new side project is live - @legacy-modernization.io I curated my knowledge of legacy modernization patterns into a website. I still have lots of content to add but the current version is hopefully a bit useful legacy-modernization.io #legacyModernization #architectureModernization

Spent the bank holiday weekend with @m1geo.com , @m0wut.bsky.social and M0VFC walking in the Lake District. A bit wet for the last couple of days but a lovely camping trip in my caravan.

First Bluesky post and also my first time out in my (new to me) caravan. Stayed fairly local as this trip is just to test everything works. So far, so good.
