@flamelily.co.uk Are you at the bring n buy at @computinghistory.org.uk tomorrow?

At least APRS works up here.

Parked up a hill near the Uffington white horse. . Radio on 2m. No replies. That was a waste of time.

Any of my followers live in or around Swindon?

A @icomuk.bsky.social IC-2730 left to me by a local ham who’s just passed away. All cleaned up and programmed.

Can now run both Meshcore and 2/70 from the car at the same time. Can’t use magmount on leased car. Currently running LoRa APRS on the 2/70. #hamradio #meshcore

Forgot to say it's @andytuk.bsky.social M1NER and @gordontant.com M9TOG (I'm G5DOC)

My back garden looks like a scene from a Carry On film as me and a few friends have our second annual #HamRadio field day in my back garden. Welcome to Carry On Up The Coax. Coming to a band near you over the next two days.😁

Temporary loss of my radio room. Just mobile and digital stuff for the next few months. #hamr #hamradio

@mm9sql.com Hi - curious why you say Cloudlog on Docker is not recommended for production use. Have it running here without any (known) issues.

Love a bit of FM DX. Heard France, Germany and Belgium via my Arrow satellite antenna!

Whittlesey's 70cm repeater GB3WZ is now on Freestar and Echolink www.m1ner.co.uk/gb3wz/ #hamr #hamradio

Just had the misfortune of finding a laptop I’m fixing for someone that uses Windows S mode. Never seen that in the flesh before.

Even the retro computing/gaming enthusiasm has dropped. Sold a lot of my collection now.

I should do more radio stuff. I just don’t have the time or urge to at the moment. I’m only doing APRS really.

I wish I was still in Switzerland

Saddened to hear of the death of the legendary comic Stanley Baxter. From comedy films to large variety series to children's favourite Mr Majeika , Stanley was on our screens regularly for 30 years. Here Stanley plays 5 characters to show you how everyone loved the BBC Micro

Still not sorted a QSL card for my full licence. I passed that exam back in 2021! Will add to Christmas break to-do list. #hamradio #qsl

Not used @veeam.com for 7 years. Used it again this week - still remember it all. Amazing what you can recall when you need to.

Added a page to my site about the VOIP/SIP systems I am logged into www.m1ner.co.uk/voip-sip-sys... #hamradio #freestar #hoip

Ah, DMR code plugs. Oh how much I have missed you... #hamr #dmr #digital

Had a fantastic time in Riga. Back to the grindstone today…

When you run out of Velcro or cable ties, an old diode will do.

Had to block a callsign on my APRS digipeater. Was sending packets every few seconds. First time I have had to do that.

How are you spending your Sunday? I'm implementing pfsense at home. Need to arrange downtime with the family for implementation. Anyone else need to follow change control at home? :) #homelab #networking

My Toshiba HX-10 MSX. From the range of 8bit machines I know the least about. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing

What is it with ham radio retailers and manufactures and free baseball caps? I'd rather have a discount or some kind of useful accessory! #rant

Curious to know any fellow hams who are experimenting with APRS over LoRa. What's the coverage like in the area you live in? Looks like we are quite lucky here in Cambridgeshire. #lora #aprs #hamradio

Who knows what I’m playing? #RetroGaming #PC

It's just over three months until this year's Retro Computer Festival! This time it's the Gaming Edition and we want YOU to get involved. Do you write computer games, or did you back in the day? Or do you develop tools or hardware? We're looking for more exhibitors for our Games Dev room ... 1/2

Day 208 - #retrorandom - I don't need your fancy GEM or Workbench. I'm perfectly happy with Broomsoft's WIMP running on my Dragon 64 thank you! It's actually perfectly usable, but of course there's very little software for it ... 1/2

I’m now a EV owner. MG4 Trophy Long Range. I’m enjoying it so far! #ev

When you ask a chav why it’s not raining. #linux #sysadmin

One of my LoRa APRS tracker nodes in front of the wife’s York ghosts.

Dilemma - do I remove the label or not? #RetroComputing #Acorn #Atom

When you are in conversation at work and you suddenly remember Microsoft Antigen. It’s been a very long time since I have thought about Antigen. Im kinda glad it doesn’t exist anymore.

Spotted in the Milton Keynes Gallery cafe earlier 😎

What’s the obsession with free baseball caps with a new amateur radios? For me it’s just junk that’ll end up in the bin.

Huh. Another @raspberrypi.com 3 A+ dead for no apparent reason. That’ll be why my APRS digi went offline.

Phoar….. I really wanted this kind of stuff in the 90s. Finally achieved it in 2025.

Someone game me 2 dead Yamaha MU50 tone generators today. I now have 1 working MU50! Really good sound quality! Faulty 7805 and an iffy power socket.
