Some quick radio fun today. Got a 2m cw with KM7EVZ who is up camping at Moraine Lake and will be heading up South Sister tomorrow am. #HamRadio #SummitsOnTheAir #SOTA
Safety Green antenna insulators hot of the printer!

Instagram served me up a video where an Italian man was roasting his American wife for "ruining" his Moka Pots. He showed of a collection of "ruined" Mokas. The latest addition was one that his wife washed with soap...
Which leads me to ask. Uhh, should I not be washing mine with soap?
Using "ruined" in quotes because they all looked perfectly fine except one that was missing a handle. #Coffee #MokaPot
Can someone explain why my local newspaper's yearly subscription is more expensive than the monthly subscription times 12?

Guy in front of me in line at the local consignment used gear shop tried to get them to take a hunting vest with shells still in it 🤦
New antenna brand just dropped: the Eagle Yagi. #HamRadio

@W6KME@mastodon.radio one of the comments was from a woman claiming to have a "wall of shame" of cast iron pans her husband has "ruined" by washing them with soap. Wild.
The only time I've seen a cast iron "ruined" was when my aunt put mine through a dish washer. Even then it just needed to be re-seasoned.
If anyone is looking for an HF Portable QRO rig. Hard to beat this deal: https://www.gigaparts.com/yaesu-ft-891-hf-6m-transceiver.html

@LabSpokane@mas.to @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org or someone just learned that their big truck is RWD only.
#7QP views. I found a triple county junction that was also a #SOTA and also a #POTA. I brought gear to go QRO, but the coax was bad. Luckily I had the KX2 as a backup and was able to get it done. #SummitsOnTheAir #HamRadio #contesting
Two of these is not like the other. #garden
25 new fires in central Oregon after today's storms.
Took the classic car out for a spin this weekend. Gotta tweak some settings the sodetone audio was way too loud compared to the rx audio.

@spacelizard@aus.social Have you ever rode into a storm grate and bent your wheel? Now you can give your bike that experience from the comfort of your sedan!
This seems like a high school autoCAD 101 final project.

@julie maybe switch the cw type from "Bug" to something else like "straight key" or "paddle". 😬
Bit disappointed that some outdoor brands have taken to AI for their yearly April First products. If you didn't make the thing, it's not funny 🤢 it's lazy.
Wife spotted a jumping spider in our Dutch oven. I relocated it to our compost bin where there was a fly hatch yesterday. It should do well there. 🕷️ #gardening

Thank you for your examples everyone. This is great. Google results weren't showing me specific articles, just stuff about how ham radio "could" be used in the event of disaster.
I think I would be more open to "AI" if it was more like "Computer" in Star Trek TNG. When it doesn't know something or can't execute a command it doesn't hallucinate or apologize. It's a tool.

It's the first day of Spring! Why not build a new antenna?
20% off my whole #HamRadio shop through the weekend.

@n8dmt@mastodon.radio but yes, I would love to modernize the electrical in this house... We're saving up to build a new house at some point, so every repair or upgrade is weighed against the eventual demo of this building.
Uncomfortable amounts of VFO!

In today's example of a wildly confusing headline.
"Northeastern Washington teacher's photography to be displayed in Idaho's newest nuclear submarine"
Replying to
@n8dmt@mastodon.radio so the reason for the replacement was that the pull cord came out of the previous fixture, which apparently is a non-repairable event. Home depot didn't even carry fixtures that take a bulb. Had to get this led-built in fixture. Not necessarily complaining, I just found it weird that the bulb fixtures were no longer sold.

oh yeah and this bedroom closet fixture is on the kitchen/dining room circuit breaker 🤷
Last day for 20% off the shop!

@gparker@discuss.systems 10,000 years from now, cloned Jason Mamoa has the memories of every Jason Mamoa awakened inside him during a weird sex battle.
Swiss Army Man was one of the most brilliantly funny and disturbing/uneasy movies I've ever seen. It's a weird one.
