Been quietly developing a new #hamradio product! This physical device will make an amazing addition to any #ham shack out there. Coming very soon and I'm looking for a few beta testers. Interested? Drop into my discord and lets chat! discord.com/channels/575... #amateurradio #vhf #uhf #dx #cq

Just passed my General. Now I just need to find some HF hardware! #hamradio #arrl

Pretty easy to implement. I will have to spend some time testing this out.

Wish the FCC would dish out my call sign already, they've had my $35 a few days already. Storms inbound tonight and would be nice if I could relay critical information if needed. #ham #arrl

Get ready for it. The copyright smackdown is coming. As soon as these companies figure out they are missing out on millions in revenue, they are going to come for 3D modelers making money off the brands. The fact they are seeing it now for merchandising means that time is very close.

Today I my position was eliminated by my Day job. If anyone is looking for a Technical Project manager with a history of Software development and engineering, please consider sending a DM. Would love to talk.

I copied today's #Morsle at 20 WPM! morsle.fun I really need way more practice.

Passed my Technician today! #hamradio #arrl #radio

For sure taking my #hamradio exam tomorrow for technician class. I'm coming up on the 75% pass rate. Wont be able to take on another test but this is a goal I've had for a while now. I can't wait until I can show off all the fun to #stem students after I pass! #aarl

PJRC is partnering with @sparkfun.bsky.social for manufacturing of all Teensy products. We’re taking step with 2 main goals. 1: SparkFun has the manufacturing needed for Teensy's growth. 2: PJRC can renew focus on software & community. pjrc.com/sparkfun-to-... news.sparkfun.com/13308

This is a super handy piece of software. Ability to send files peer to peer securely with minimal effort is awesome. Would love to see this turn into a tool for Android/iOS for sharing. Sure you can use the browser but an integration would be easier to use.

So far the most humorous of #hamradio technician questions. I assure you, someone is only going to make this mistake once. 💥

I picked up an RTL-SDR for $45 and the amateur radio bug finally got me. I'm cramming all this week to take the ARL Exam this weekend. Given my background in electronics most of the questions have been easy. Anyone have a tip or question that always tripped them up? #hamradio #amateurradio #radio

Happy Mar10 Day!

Russia Is Hijacking US Military Satellites

The US Military operates several communication satellites with open repeaters, meaning any signal they receive gets rebroadcast. This has been exploited by various groups, including Russian users around Ukraine. I checked out some of these signals on various webSDR streams, some of which you can find below: http://websdr.org/ http://kiwisdr.com/public/ https://rx-tx.info/map-sdr-points (To find WebSDRs with SATCOM streams, you'll want to filter by 260MHz) You can learn more about the UHF Satcom system here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Satellite_Communications_System And the UHF Follow-On (UFO) system here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UHF_Follow-On_satellite Saveitforparts t-shirts and other merch at https://saveitforparts.myspreadshop.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNLRcEn78Vc62C3GkMvBgtA/join Or support me via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/saveitforparts Check out gadgets and devices I like at https://www.amazon.com/shop/saveitforparts

This is a great idea. While I wont use this on a torch it immediately started the gears turning about what I could use this for. #makers #making #diy #clever

Upcycle a used filament spool into a torch stand. All you need is a box cutter to enlarge the hole. Yay? #3dprinting
