Lather, rinse, roll‑on, repeat. 🙏 Hope to see you (not smell you) at #Hamvention2025. | #hamradio11 May 2025 19:35 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3low7ald2z22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3lm5o7hy6w22kUsing the FTM-400 for the first time reminded me that Yaesu has absolute zero care for UI/UX. #HamRadio06 Apr 2025 14:36 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lm5o7hy6w22khttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3lljiurcwpk2pMarry a girl who says things like: “I’m proud of you.” “I had fun tonight.” “I appreciate you.” “A 100-foot tower for your antennas seems completely reasonable.” #HamRadio29 Mar 2025 14:07 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lljiurcwpk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3liau62764c2pFound this at a local hamfest today and just had to buy it. I’m a Motorola guy, but I couldn’t resist — it was a steal of a deal. I give you…the /\/\ototera! #HamRadio15 Feb 2025 23:20 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3liau62764c2phttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3li7n4prvms22One of the best features of my Motorola R7 is undoubtedly its noise suppression. But which one is best in most scenarios? Find out in this overview — including demo audio from each noise suppression algorithm! #HamRadio https://youtu.be/SnLvZfeA_3A15 Feb 2025 11:41 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3li7n4prvms22https://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3lhguq62fbc2nIt’s a Motorola invasion! #HamRadio05 Feb 2025 15:21 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhguq62fbc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3lheh5zolu22rGot my K7S special event QSL in the mail — including the used amateur radio stamp. The stamp debuted in 1964 and honors America’s amateur radio operators, of which there were about 250,000 in 1964. Very cool special event! #HamRadio04 Feb 2025 16:12 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lheh5zolu22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3lejy2d7b3c2xMy Microsat WX3IN1 Plus 2.0 board finally arrived from Poland! This will be used for my next W0MHR APRS digipeater here in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. #HamRadio30 Dec 2024 16:42 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lejy2d7b3c2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3ldtosfkcg22pJust received a replacement microphone for my AnyTone 578. After seven years the contacts in the PTT switch were worn. It was annoying but manageable. Then the RJ45 connector broke — that was the last straw. #HamRadio21 Dec 2024 19:58 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldtosfkcg22phttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3ldmqcjhlzk27Whistler Group - one of two scanner manufacturers - has went out of business unexpectedly. That leaves only Uniden as the sole manufacturer of scanners. #HamRadio Can’t say I’m surprised. Encryption of public safety and moving to digital has put a lot of downward pressure on the scanner market.19 Dec 2024 01:36 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldmqcjhlzk27https://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3lcthsguog22tIt was fun to make contact with the Iowa State Amateur Radio Club during their experimental balloon launch this morning. Their payload was a FM repeater! Heard stations across Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana as I was listening. #HamRadio09 Dec 2024 00:28 +0000at://did:plc:rl4ozqdd5547o6vns4js2idf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcthsguog22thttps://bsky.app/profile/k0lwc.bsky.social/post/3la4zszgp7o2yExcited to make my first post on BlueSky! I'm still active on X, and a little less so on Mastodon.
