The Hermes-Lite 2 #AmateurRadio project continues at W8JJ. It’s an incredible radio and Thetis SDR software leads the way. I’ve fully integrated a linear amplifier, PureSignal adaptive predisposition, ESSB, the OE3IDE software to integrate metering data from a LP100A and more. Join the fun!

holycluster.iarc.org This remains my favorite app of its kind. Best visual representation of DX spots and propagation paths that I’ve found. Enjoy!

Bands were choppy for today's #K1USN #SST, but still worked a fair number of stations. Getting more comfortable running CQ rather than searching for others. #amateurradio #cw

I’m just a ham with a whiteboard doodling about an #AmateurRadio antenna switching solution for two radios, two amplifiers, two tuners, one wireless antenna switch and multiple antennas.

Continuing with my recent dive back into #HamRadio, I'm keeping with the trend of going over the top by putting this beautiful sticker on my car. In case my nerd plates weren't obvious enough for people. #AmatuerRadio #HackersOnTheAir

I should stop posting about Morsel. I think it looks I'm bragging about my CW prowess, when in reality I am not that competent. I must find a better way to promote the mode. #cw #hamradio Having said that: I copied today's #Morsle at 40 WPM! morsle.fun

@hamradioworld.bsky.social I did a POTA Op from the day use parking area in Washington Crossing State Park. (US-1634). It put me at the tow path of the Delaware and Raritan Canal (US-1613) and next to the Lower Delaware River (US-0684) Which abuts the other two parks at that location. HAT TRICK!

Nice 6-meter FT8 QSO with Warwick E51WL on Penrhyn Atoll, North Cook Islands just now! Took a bit of effort to complete the Q, but we got there in the end. Distance: 6480 km. No 6-meter beam here. Just using the horizontal skyloop antenna, around 80 metres long and averaging 7 meters high.
