Changed my #meshtastic net check in. Anyone in STMesh.net range can use #mwm on ideally Wednesdays to check in with a comment that will log here queencitynerd.github.io/Mesh_Wed/

Adventures in #meshtastic I have a room server script and a sniffer that will post to webpage #MeshWed tagged LongFast posts for a weekly Mesh-Net check-in

Is there a parallel to #APRSThurs for mesh? Something to encourage sending a note? aprsph.net/aprsthursday/ encourages APRS operators to use the mode once a week. Should we be promoting a #MeshThurs or some day of the week? #meshcore #meshtastic

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/830766... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z fun sneaky mode change at the end! #hamradio

EmComm exercise this weekend #ObsidianWave groups.io/g/obsidian-w... looks like a neat test of transcon connectivity. There's a lot of manual duplications of what packet does in digital radio these days, but learning how humans pass traffic is a good step to learning how computers do. #hamradio

I couldn't keep a link with K7EK directly this morning on 80m but I could node hop WW6Q > K5DAT> K7EK and still leave my email. NY to KY didn't have a good path but NY to IL to WI to KY worked! groups.io/g/Packet-Rad... #hamradio

So Packet networks, yep it's still a thing only now we have VARA which is more stable and much faster than 300bps AX25 was for me as a QRP operator and there's a VARA terminal that makes that work with BBS stations on HF downloads.winlink.org/VARA%20Produ... #hamradio

Progress with the Mercury HF modem! It's the open source alternative to VARA. github.com/Rhizomatica/... WL2K connect to K7EK-10 #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/827595... 9455khz 2300z "field set up" amazing field test of a radiogram copy for thunderstorms in the area. The pocket sized receiver and whip antenna did great into STNY.

@swradiogram.bsky.social I'm just holding the receiver like an HT and decode of MFSK64 not bad!

@swradiogram.bsky.social we have a storm cells closing in on us so going low tech for the experiment. 9455khz 2300z MFSK32 giving good text on a 16" telescopic whip so far. #hamradio

aprsota.org/9W3FAB/ops/1... #aprs #aprsota nice connect for a walk on the trail here. It's internet facilitated but real time QSO

Testing out #WoAD this weekend on a road trip. Connected to an RMS 13 miles away with an HT interfacing with #digirig to Motorola phone. WL2K portable! #hamradio #wl2k My thanks to the PKT1200 sysops out there. VARA is nice but packet is on my phone.

@swradiogram.bsky.social found that old QSL from radio Prague

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/825058... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z good copy tonight in STNY #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/824424... moon spells @swradiogram.bsky.social ! 9455khz 2300z some skewing of images, didn't trigger for the deer. Good copy all the same. #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/823790... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z great text but shaky images tonite, I turned off the preamp it was hitting so hard. #hamradio

Getting back to #cocorahas after being an old NWS COOP station years ago. Feels nice setting up my rain gauge again.

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/823155... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z good copy into STNY. #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/822521... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z into STNY good copy between the thunderstorms! #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/821887... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z pretty good copy, typical for STNY tonite #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/821253... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z good copy, maybe the solar storm helped? #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/820677... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9955khz 1430z never a great copy but I missed the 9455kz broadcast Saturday for ARRL Field Day. We gave it a shot but had some equipment issues making less than ideal conditions for receiving. #hamradio #arrlfd

news.brandmeister.network #hamradio #dmr going to be seeing a request to confirm you are still active coming out would seem.

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/819984... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z good copy here, hope my California poppies come in nice this year! #hamradio

Trouble with the old magmount. #hamradio

@swradiogram.bsky.social 9955khz 1430z WRMI in southern tier NY using G5RV dipole invt vee. So recap very poor reception and decodes text and images in MFSK modes. Only one image infact. However Olivia 32/2K performed flawlessly with the levels falling to -8.8db at lowest level. #hamradio

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/819350... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z great on the text, Olivia 32/2K was a little zippier I think. Unfortunately FLDIGI crashed when I went to cut the text buffer… have to try and recapture tomorrow! #hamradio

Excited for Extreme Shortwave. It’s been really fun to be a part of this real time experiment in global communications. @swradiogram.bsky.social

www.tumblr.com/n2qfd/818716... @swradiogram.bsky.social 9455khz 2300z good copy in STNY. Fade and static crashes here. Olivia mode ran 7.2db to 2.2db more than adequate so not a great test! I’ve worked DX QRP with great success. #hamradio
