i am tempted to get a large rod of Ferrocerium and put several amps through it to get it white hot then hit it with a hammer.... my god that would look insane!
My #APRS beacon is routinely hitting over 50 miles from my roof right now. Seems my antenna is still doing a fine job!
@k2za@mastodon.hams.social im WI2ARD by the way, right next to you in philly
so i decided im putting back up my HF antenna, doing it all new! I'm excited.

@freemo @ech @PBruce The "don't say gay" bill is very similar to the infamous British Section 28.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/cacc0b40-c3a4-473b-86cc-11863c0b3f30 You can read about it here.
Section 28 was enacted by the Conservative Party (the same people who came up with Brexit) and was repealed by Labour in 2003.
Managed to bri g the software i was writinf for #APRS back online at my station. It is working perfectly again. Beacons are successfully being sent and digipeating is working.
You can see the screenshot of the control terminal attached. You can watch the packets live here:
Oh shit APRS is on mastadon... I just saw a local station advertise @k2za@mastodon.hams.social which means they are probably within a short drive of me!
Man now I want to get back into coding my APRS platform... I really want to rewrite aprs.fi, quite the shame that it isnt open-source.... Hams really need to embrace more open-source.
Ow my stomach hurts... that 3 year old meatball I ate earlier might not have been the smartest idea....

1) My role is the STEM amateur enthusiast, not even a student, nevermind in the professional line. If I were starting fresh, I would gravitate towards that.
2) My enthusiasm for changing to a "sibling server" ranks up there with my interest in changing my email address. Again. Which is to say, "not very," and for the same reasons. I'm not clear I can alter my handle on the Birdsite without losing any means to have my fediverse address in there at all.
3) My wife and the very few friends that started accounts on qoto do not appear to be using this much if at all. "Moving" would for them would sound an awful lot like, "forget you bothered with Mastodon."
4) I'm highly confident any ties between you and any other server will bring on the Ultra Self-Righteous crowd that got qoto on the naughty list, and a new site would be on that list faster than word could get out the site exists.
I accidentally put my VHF/UHF transmission into a long coax cable i had that was disconnected at the far end.... Still got about 4.5 SWR on VHF and about 2.5 SWR on UHF... anyone who says they cant put up an antenna has never tried :) That said I probably wouldnt have gotten much of a signal out.
My VHF APRS beacon has now officially went live again after 2 years! You can track its packets and location here:
