Kilroy_Was_Here<p>So, a couple months ago I realized I was going too crazy with my ham radio planning and pursuing avenues that I would practically never go down. Decided to buy a composition book and just write, write, write the kinks out.</p><p>Oh what a relief it is!</p><p>I've finalized on an IC-7300, a DX Commander Signature 12.4, and a 160 meter end fed. This is about the most elegant solution possible with my requirements.</p><p><a href="https://dobbs.town/tags/amateurradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amateurradio</span></a> <a href="https://dobbs.town/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a></p>

My wife was sick this weekend so I had MUCH less supervision and I was able to devote entirely too much time to working the radio compared to normal weekend. 33,720 total points operating single op, lower power (100w) in the Classic overlay (only had 14hrs of on air time).</p>
Ethan J. A. Schoonover<p>Fixing the central vac in our house (burned out relay) &amp; took a 5 min break during which I oscillated some energy right out of a long wire and made a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> contact from here in Seattle to just outside of Lafayette, Louisiana. Then some stations in Japan heard me trying for New Zealand &amp; QSO'd.</p>
J.C. KC8JC 📻<p>If my weird little logging program doesn't do anything else, it does handle scanning spots quickly so I can get an idea of who I can hear/work. That was really why I made it.

Gary @N8DMT<p>APRS Knowledge Quest Phase 4: Fired up SATSAGEN with the ADALM Pluto SDR to look at TX deviation during the APRS burst. All 3 radios look reasonable for deviation (although did see some occasional splatter on the Yaesu VX-8G output). Learned how to use TX deviation measurement on SATSAGEN SW, but did not resolve why radios work poorly in the car (other than there are few digi’s along my typical route). This SW also works RX-only with RTL-SDR sticks. <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/RadioTest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioTest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/TestEquipment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TestEquipment</span></a></p>
