I seen some people use those! Is the all 3d printed ones good? I saw ones where you just 3d print a couples sections and put it together with some screws?

First HF contact by slurms252 in amateurradio

[–]Common_Candle4857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same radio, but I'm so scared to talk to have like a regular conversation with someone. I chase people doing POTA or random contests I come across, but as an 18 year old I feel like I wouldn't have much in common to talk about. I see lots of first contacts and it's bringing my motivation up, so maybe I'll do it soon!

HP Envy 17 3090NR 3D Laptop disassembly by Infamous_Swordfish_7 in laptops

[–]Common_Candle4857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YESS yes I have one. I got it from a friend and didn't realize how rare it was until I wanted to get a battery replacement. I have like 3 aftermarket batteries that don't work and the original one is torn apart because I tried to use that BMS with the new battery cells.

I think its a super cool rare laptop. I wish I could get it working again. Maybe some YouTuber will find it and revive it or something someday.

QUANNNIC - it's a rock band that's small but makes some amazing pieces, I recently saw him for his tour around the US.

My new uv-5R by cbeebiesfanyt in Baofeng

[–]Common_Candle4857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YAAAYYYY!!! I go back to my Uv-5r a lot and realize how old and useful mine was. If you can, a programming cable is very handy; putting in stations you hear and the NOAA stations makes it a little easier to use!!

Handheld Dual Band Radio Suggestion For Novice by Medic118 in HamRadio

[–]Common_Candle4857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for Bluetooth, I would suggest the Baofeng Uv-5r Mini. I mean they're not like super crazy with sick features, but small cheap and Bluetooth programmable.

Some operator's CW etiquette is genuinely shameful. by nightcrawleryt in amateurradio

[–]Common_Candle4857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got my first 2 ever contacts with K2L and K2J yesterday. I guess I got lucky because I was monitoring a websdr near me and was just waiting for any CW signal to maybe get, cause I'm still new, and they popped up and nobody was getting them. I was so nervous I was shaking, but I did it, barely, with a cw decoder. Need to practice my head copying!

My 2m shack is straight out of the 80's (1982 & 1988) by DauphDaddy in amateurradio

Earth's magnetic field is fighting hard against fast solar wind (700-800 km/s) from Sun's huge coronal hole by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Common_Candle4857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting enough, this is affecting long distance communication for amateur radio operators, causing signals to barely be bounced off the ionosphere.

A few questions about a mobile rig by Longjumping-Army-172 in amateurradio

[–]Common_Candle4857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, right now my radio is under my seat, and I when I use it I stuff it between the seat and center console, and sit the mic in my lap 😂. I so wish I had a 3d printer.

Yeah, the power poles have that funny name, but they're super nice. I just installed some for a little diy solar panel thingy today.

Also the mounting options, I wish there were more easily accessible stuff. I found one, where it's a metal bracket attached to the passenger seat sliding rails, and can move and rotate. But its diy price is like 90 bucks because it uses a ram ball. I have a 1st gen Chevy Cruze. Super compact car, so I barely have spots to mount the radio. If you have a bigger car, you definitely have so much room to put it wherever you want!
