I dig ham radio, telephones, computers, privacy, vim, and my dog.

This is the same team that received from Voyager I in December 2024: https://www.camras.nl/en/blog/2024/dwingeloo-telescope-receives-signals-from-voyager-1/
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that website. What was/is it?
edit*
oh was that the rss feed site? I’m not sure what happened.
Supposed to be freezing and rainy here. Not sure I’ll make it out to a park, but I’ll try my best to hunt for y’all!
tracking is mostly done via software. the airplane, satellite, boat, etc will have some way of transmitting data (lat/long, speed, weather data…) and a receiving station (for instance, a computer a ham operator controls) will pick up that transmission and usually post it somewhere. An example would be something like APRS
Ham operators themselves can track in a way. When you are communicating with another ham, you will usually give your callsign, location, other pertinent info, and then you can log/record that you talked to someone from a certain area.
GREAT answer. It’s funny how I got into ham radio because I thought it seemed a cool way to talk to people… and now I almost never use voice and mostly do what you listed above.
Wow they really need to get in check. I do have the screenshots
I guess Andy or the proton social media team has started using the corporate bluesky account to discuss it now.
Yes, you must pass the general exam before taking the amateur extra exam.
Ha sorry. Forgot mentioning the account from another service would create a post here. But still happy to see y’all!
I just moved everything from goodreads to bookwyrm and it was painless.
I’ve had sats/ISS on my list of things to learn for a while. Maybe 2025 will be the year I get that yagi built.
Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there’s a lot of carry over from the test.
Once the dead rat and blood wall were cleaned up, the stream really went down hill
It’s both. SK, Stop Keying, is used in CW (morse) whenever a station is done transmitting. SK is also Silent Key, but you’ll rarely hear the abbreviation over voice or CW.
Could be that ARRL was down then. All links work for me.
Yea in a community you only see the community info. The “official” sidebar is only on the main feed
What do you see and what link are you using? On my Mac in safari at lemmy.radio I can see it. Not in a community
The general sidebar on the right has some links for how to get into amateur radio.
Not a lemmy dev so I’m not the go to on issues. I had that issue on Firefox though.
I feel like every year since I’ve been licensed and an ARRL member, I’ve become less enthused by the ARRL. To the point where this may be my last year as a member.
Also a thought: I use a few ARRL links in our side bar I wouldn’t mind changing to non-ARRL links. Open to suggestions.
The 8bit Celeste music sounds pretty good on the demo!
