Thoughts & prayers please, like and share etc.... I've been signed off work with one thing and get another 🤦🏼 #manflu

Nice little bonus from @m1ecc-antennas.bsky.social, sign up for an account and get some points which can be converted to a % discount on orders. I already have an account, so no welcome bonus for me, but you can get it by creating an account. Brilliant antennas and service.

FT8 appears to be working, the radio is now transmitting, but I'm not sure if it's doing the right things 😂 Psk reporter seems to be seeing me, so that's a start

Disappeared down a rabbit hole for FT8 on WSJT-X which isn't wanting to play, not sure where to start with the settings. Software says it is transmitting, radio indicates otherwise.

Enforced time off work. So I'm tidying up my radio set up, can't call it a shack, more a space at the side of my 3D printers, but at least it will be tidy and usable when I want it. #amateurradio #hamradio

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

As long as you don't read the news, worry about the nights drawing in and being a year older. It's actually quite a nice morning out here in the Shire.

Reviewing antenna locations

Having to leave a note for the milkman, after the magpies are two of my butteries on Saturday..

Interesting, if correct. @willperrin.bsky.social

Well that fixed the RST problem that was stopping me installing Linux on my #hamradio PC. I went to the full nuclear option, and took it out, this seems to be the *only* solution on some machines.. #amateurradio

Tell me your day was unproductive without saying it was unproductive. I'll go first....

Watching the OceanGate documentary. Tell me this dodgy as fuck, without saying it's as dodgy as fuck. Paying passenger= Mission Specialist to circumvent regulations and inspections.

Before I go down a rabbit hole on the YouTubes. Any good tutorials for setting up FT8 on iCom 7300 anyone can recommend? #hamradio #amateurradio #ft8
