I made my first 2 #FT8 contacts today thanks to a new accessible companion app built to work in conjunction with #WSJTX and the #JAWS and #NVDA screen readers. We're making huge progress toward a solution we can provide to the entire #blind #AmateurRadio community. #HamRadio


To #blind #hamradio operators, a friend picked up a TH-D75A that he doesn't want. Having only worked with HT's running OpenGD77, are there any special advantages to this rig aside from the wideband receiver and D-STAR (which I don't really care about)? e.g. is APRS or the TNC of any use with things like Winlink?


Anybody know off hand if the Motorola CDM1250 radios can be fudged down into the ham bands? Didn't find a ton of info on a quick search, but figured someone might know off hand before I devoted too much time to researching it

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that #hamradio is about conversing with other hams. It's definitely not. It's about making the electrons jump through hoops. Radio art stuff. Making a 15000km contact on 5w. Bouncing a signal off the moon to make a contact. If hams can do radio stuff without talking to anyone, they do- often. FT8 is a very good example. We are by and large asocial nerds who just want to do radio stuff.


Welp, at this point I cannot justify spending $1000+ (again) to replaced the damaged rig to get back on HF #HamRadio - I have a cheap low power rig that gets me on 10m mobile. And I listen on other bands using various online SDR's.

The amount of mean right-wing bullshit I hear, almost every time I am on, is way too high for me to realize a return on my investment that comes close to a level of joy or satisfaction that's worth $1000. It's like Twitter/X. Stop telling people that they just need to turn the dial. That's bullshit.

So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms

Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."

Hey U.S. people: thinking about getting your ham license? Free training, testing, and a radio.

Seguramente no sabréis que la Dirección General de Protección Civil en España, dependiente del Ministerio del Interior, edita de manera totalmente gratuita una obra llamada "Vademecum REMER" orientada a la Red Nacional de Radio de Emergencia pero que cualquier persona puede descargar y consultar libremente en su ordenador. Contiene muchísima información sobre meteorología, navegación aérea, catástrofes, cabotaje, cartografía, primeros auxilios, orientación, conversión de unidades, radioafición...

Se puede descargar desde cpage.mpr.gob.es/producto/vade… pinchando en "Consultar documento en línea" y abriendo el index.html. Aunque la última edición es de 2017 trae un montón de cosas que no pierden vigencia.

Impuestos bien empleados, si me preguntan.
