A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

Slowly rediscovering my fascination for radio communications. Meshtastic and Meshcore are running, dusted off an old analog scanner that I kept from my cb radio days in '97, and a RTL-SDR is on it's way. Good times :)
I'm looking forward to getting my raspberry pi set up so I can plug in the SDR and play around with python libraries.
I also gavea DMR that I haven't even begun to explore yet, but I thought it would be good to have in case of emergencies.
So many projects on the to-do list. Now if only I can find time for all of them...
Hear, hear. I’ve got the HF bug and deliver a specific feeling of joy when I QSO the farthest I can at a given power and antenna configuration.
I got licensed in my 30s after wanting to when I was a kid. My farthest contact is 15000km from the US to Australia running 20W into a dipole hanging from a tree.
Wild. Was that SSB or CW? From some time I spent in New Mexico a couple of years ago I managed to hit Malaysia on 100W SSB. I was floating!
This was SSB on 20 meters. My next farthest contacts are more like 5000 miles down to Chile and Argentina, same 20W G90 and dipole. I am completely lacking Asia and Africa though
