AHAHAHAHAHAA
Best you can come up with “no, YOUR mom”
Get help.
Obvious troll is obvious.
Your mom is calling you, your tendies and hunny mussy is ready.
Get on HF. Yes, there’s still trash there, too, but you can also get on with folks who have a much more wholesome worldview.
I’ve QSOd to gobs of folks in the US, Japan, Indonesia, and even a guy in Rarotonga.
If SSB isn’t your interest there’s FT8, FT4, JS8Call, and SSTV.
Upgrade to General and get on 20m, tons of activity there right now—it was by far the busiest band during Field Day.
There are good folks are out there, we just have to link up.
I admit that I did not consider the risk of RF damage to my machine, which I raw dog directly via the provided USB port on my 7300 to my MacBook. Risky, but those 16 thread FT8 decodes in JTDX are too tempting. My computer doesn’t even seem to notice it’s running 28 Firefox tabs, an NTP time sync, JTDX, and GridTracker.
I would like to use some remote tools to interact with my rig, but the one solution I was able to find was $100. Dumb, I know, to fret over $100 having just spent a pretty penny to obtain a 15m mast… but still, the cost for the remote software has less perceived value than the mast.
I’ve just been introduced (like, literally yesterday) to FreeDV, but haven’t made any QSOs yet.
The digital space is wonderful, and I love it so much.
I love these posts mate, keep them up.

Been running AdGuard for years once mobile DNS profiles became available. Hardly see any ads, and (on the rare occasion) when I do, they’re jarring and out of place.
Obsidian, but I’m not competent to comment regarding their privacy. You can air gap the install and have it on an isolated machine.
It’s hella customizable, and there is broad support specifically for using it with TTRPGs.
Not quite packet radio, but there’s a huge community for FT8 (very very limited communications bandwidth), there’s also JS8Call, but it’s sort of slow right now (on 20m at least). You might be interested in SSTV; there are various bands of activity, some on 20m (14.230Mhz and 14.233Mhz) and certainly other bands as well. The advantage of SSTV is that the more popular platforms (MMSSTV, BlackCat SSTV, and fldigi) can take audio input from your sound card and convert it to the SSTV broadcast.
Pair that up with any WebSDR and you can get nearly any broadcast within reach of your browser and the WebSDR in question.
It might be worthy of discussion, as are all your other posts, just need to articulate which portion makes your skin crawl.
With this little bit of new information I suspect that maybe it’s bothersome because someone has managed to connect to you through some of your other work?
If that’s the case, then hell yeah. It’s creepy as hell.
US amateurs ought to obtain a PO Box prior to their first application.
Look me up and go to my address and you’ll be greeted by a commercial mail receiving agency.
I refrained from any voting, but I wasn’t sure which part of this was disturbing. We’re missing something.
I haven’t tried any radials, and tbh I’m not certain to where I would attach them given the j-pole design has a matching network in-built. I’ve got a 1:1 balun at the feedpoint and an inline choke at the radio. My 10m antenna of identical design is great, and this one is great too (I see ~1:1 at 14.250), it’s just much higher in the band than I had planned and I strongly suspect it’s simply ground reflection since the radiating element is way lower than the halfwave it ought to be.
The window line j-pole is a monoband vertical, a half wave radiating element and a quarter wave impedance matching section. On 20m the overall length of this thing is 14.4m.
On my current mast, the radiating element comes down to about 1m off the ground and then I have the matching section strung perpendicularly across the fence to keep it off the ground.
I hadn’t considered loading tbh, I’ll give it another go—just need to be in one place longer than 30 days haha
I’m captivated by the 2200m band but I balk at ever being able to use it because of what I perceive to be substantial technical challenges with respect to antennas, and then the low likelihood of actually making a QSO. If I ever have a fixed QTH this might change.
Thank you! haha, this situation was resolved ages ago, I appreciate you tho
RingCentral had some really nice features; we used it for our business several years ago and I had considered using it as a virtual clearing house for my family to help keep our personal numbers private when signing up for things.
I had even ported a Google Voice number to RingCentral well before that process was streamlined.
You have such a way with words.
