mastodon 4.7.3Operator in the Pacific Northwest. Just getting started with HF digital and satellites.
Finally got around to assembling the PX-16C kit I picked up a few years ago. Sadly the instructions were just a URL in the package. Thankfully, archive.org has saved the page and it wasn’t a complicated build. Though I don’t have any CR2032 batteries handy so power on will have to wait.
I’m getting discouraged by all the crap being shoved down my throat by software and hardware companies. So I am making a personal goal to get active on the radio without using a computer. Toward that goal are two sub-goals. First, upgrade my license to amateur extra. Second, learn and use morse code.
Is there a PeerTube instance that is focused on amateur radio topics like mastodon.radio is for Mastodon? I’m trying to use FAANG services less these days.
I’m at the Vintage Computer Festival PNW and just saw an oscilloscope playing Doom.
