This video is more from a users perspective and less from an admins! I am trying to up my production quality as I can, let me know what you think!

Also I shared this with my test account a minute ago and deleted it, sorry for the double share!

This radio is the most expensive thing I have bought for the hobby so far and it is making me want to cry. I cant figure out why it wont tune up to the dipole I made. It seems to work fine sometimes and just randomly shut off other times. SWR scan seems to be effected by being plugged in to power. ATU seems to be equally hit or miss. I am login my mind. Any help or advice is welcome!

Just realized that today is field day. Gonna go out and see what the local hams are up to. Anyone else have plans?

I am looking for a vertical HF antenna that can pack down small and not be insanely expensive. Any idea?

I want to learn Morse Code. I have tried a bunch of different ways and I struggle. I considered how it used to be done, a cassette tape that plays the sounds over and over driving them into your skull. I figured I would make one myself and see if it helped. I feel like I am associating the sounds to the letters more effectively than other methods I have tried. Maybe it will help someone else too!

I have made a bot that should be able to get XKCD comics and post them here. Just want to make sure no one would be annoyed by that before implementing it. No more than 1 per day though. Don't wanna be spammy.

Maybe no one cares, but in case you are interested. This drama with Reddit was not only the last straw for me after over 12 years of faithful membership, it was a catalyst.

I have been interested in a more decentralized internet for a handful of years now and Lemmy is my first step. I have dabbled in Freenet and I2P and now I'm going to roll up my sleeves and get involved.

I have started my own Lemmy instance and invited people to use it to access the community.

My next step is to spin up a Freenet node. After that I will be making some more intro videos to explain what it is and how it works.

After that I will start looking more into I2P and doing the same.

During this time I will be following closely the development and growth of all 3 and reporting on it as well on my new YouTube channel.

The internet should be for the users, not for profiteering corporations. This should be our bastion from their greed. I will do my part to make it so.
