Next meeting will be hosted by Seattle ACS at the north Seattle College, and can also be attended via zoom link.
Ham radio nerds at my work posted about it.

Just got myself an inexpensive HAM for the car when mobile, an Anytone AT-778UVII, and I just figured out how to program it over CHIRP! Now to program all the stations in that I use on my HT #AmateurRadio #HAM
It is funny that most "SDR" amateur radio projects forget that the "S" in SDR stands for "software". Almost everyone concentrates on building some hardware and claim they built a "homebrew" SDR. Homebrew SDR means you homebrewed the "radio" which is in software.
Baofengs, TID Radio, and other budget HAM radios may not be perfect, but they get people started. Yes, some have issues like spurious emissions, but not everyone can drop big money day one. Educate, don’t gatekeep—be kind, we all started somewhere in radio and other tech. #AmateurRadio #HAM #radio
Loading up the #sstv code from Jon Dawson. Very easy to follow along. And it works. Using my phone to encode the image. A nice for a test subject. #ham

I stumbled across a Linux net and began to wonder if ham radio is just the audiobook of Mastodon.
@M0CUV My amateur understanding is that only a #licenced #radio #ham is, e.g. in Germany, allowed to transmit at higher power than the 500 mW ( = 27 dBm ) allowed by all; but then in that case only without encryption. Therefore if you stick to the "public" power parameters ( https://www.loramesh.org/#settings ) , a #lora mesh is fine with encryption. Some info is put together here https://www.loramesh.org/#law
I would be very glad to hear of more links with information.

Question: my NET (Portland for "CERT") team uses FRS radios for communication. Now that I'm a ham, can I simply use my Yaesu FT-65 to communicate on the same frequency but with better range?
The existence of this frequency table suggests yes:

Mildly interesting: most physical devices that have handedness assume you'll be using them with your right hand. Handheld radios and walkie-talkies assume the opposite.
@weezmgk o, it's sad to hear that. we also have those kinds of jammers in the #Philippines, i think they are using 146 to 148 MHZ because it's not part of the VHF #Ham bands there. here in #italy, i hear those jammers even in the ham repeaters. mostly if i'm talking in english because i don't speak #Italian, some of them don't like that so they jam my transmission.

Just hooked up an oscilloscope to my HF antenna feed line and it looks like I'm getting a large ~1 MHz signal from the antenna before being filtered in the transceiver to receive 14.074 MHz.
Someone said that #pota #ParksOnTheAir activations on 160m won’t work. Someone said that no one does that. I guess they were wrong. :)
This was a couple of weeks ago with @DK4HAA @dc1tc an other operator and one trainee. We’ve had a full length dipole approx 7m up in the trees. Loads of p2p since other #draussenfunker were also activating.
The manual for my Yaesu FT-65 says, "Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the <low battery> indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-Ion battery pack."
This seems in conflict with keeping the radio charged for emergencies (specifically the Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake).
Thoughts?
Three new ham questions:
1) ARRL: Worth it?
2) If I got one introductory/reference book beyond the technician manual, what would you recommend?
3) Where do I find a list of local nets? I found a lot listed at https://www.arrl.org/arrl-net-directory-search, but surprisingly not the one I stumbled across!
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national…

Successfully made my first contact with a net on a local repeater.
Got my "rig", which seems like an excessive word for this handheld device. First up: let's scan some frequencies and see if I can hear anything. #ham #radio #AmateurRadio
