One new state and grid brings me to 40/215/257.21 Dec 2024 18:02 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldtidehz6c2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3ldt5zynb6k2yThere are LotW instructions in Português. Today’s verification of QSOs from 2023 has to be at least the fifth or sixth time the same station has reloaded its logs. Not complaining, just saying. 😃 With a happy heart.21 Dec 2024 14:58 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldt5zynb6k2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3ldizvxh74k2qPowered flight began on this day in 1903.17 Dec 2024 14:18 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldizvxh74k2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3ldhrpf7tos2qDon’t you love spam-emails that have an “input the email you wish to unsubscribe” ... PT Barnum was absolutely right.17 Dec 2024 02:18 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldhrpf7tos2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3ld4m3jvtck2qMade my first 6m MSK QSO this morning with SE Minnesota. It took quite a while to complete, but I’m happy to have that mode in the log. The station on the other end had a MUCH better setup than I (4 X 8 with elevation). He likely had power.12 Dec 2024 15:38 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld4m3jvtck2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3lcft6xwnys2jTo me, it seems that giving Tuesday after Cyber Monday is poor marketing.03 Dec 2024 14:14 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcft6xwnys2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3lce75xcftk2jGFCI questions ... 1) Do these circuit breakers get warm even without much load? 2) Does a switching power supply (25A 12VDC) cause an outlet to trigger more often?02 Dec 2024 22:43 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lce75xcftk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/doug-n6ua.bsky.social/post/3lbnjugvfia2dBack from cold South Dakota.

I’ve been blocking blue(.sky) haters the same way I’ve been blocking red(X) haters. I'm trying to make both places usable for ham radio interests. I need an app to post in both places.22 Nov 2024 23:00 +0000at://did:plc:5lmu6o7fnlpwathj75x76ch5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbl3gre5pi2d
