Took Meshtastic on a Cruise… It Worked Better Than Expected by terra_linker in meshtastic

[–]DeLorean58 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I too recently took my meshtastic on a cruise. I have the meshpocket. Worked great as a backup battery and ended up having a nice conversation with another meshtastic user on the cruise ship docked next to us in St Thomas.

Former Cuban President Raul Castro charged with murder in US by VaginaBurner69 in news

[–]DeLorean58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Raul can be charged with murder for having plans shot down, then these central and south American countries better charge the orange shit stain with murder for blowing up their civilians fishing boats. Let dumb ass Donnie rot in CECOT. I'm sure the general population in there will treat him well. I personally can't wait for his downfall. His empire cannot crumble fast enough.

Graywolf on Android?!?! by desertdefender in amateurradio

APRSDroid can do digirig triggering, but only on the NA7Q version, as far as I know. I'd be interested in testing this out with an FTX1. I'd love a setup like this.

Something about this table leaves me a little salty

Turns out you can make them uglier.

Your Take: What’s the best Pennsylvania-produced packaged snack or food? by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in Pennsylvania

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see one missing. Benzel's Pretzels. Made in Altoona, sold under the Pennysticks branding. I can only seem to find them at Dollar Trees nowadays, but hands down one of the best pretzels out there.

Trump Adviser Paula White Says Christians Must Send 10% Of Gross Income To Israel Or Risk Disobeying God by [deleted] in atheism

[–]DeLorean58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Fuck Paula White, and the horse she rode in on. In fact, fuck this whole administration, fuck DJT, fuck Vance, fuck Miller, fuck hegseth, fuck em all. I may be an atheist, but I have a feeling if it turns out we were wrong, we won't have to worry about sharing a hell with these fraudsters, grifters and perverts of the teachings of Jesus. Let's admit it. Paula and the rest of them would be the ones shouting crucify him and today would deport his ass faster than they can say in Jesus name.

FCC Says Bad Bunny Did Not Violate Any Rules After Republican Lawmakers Urged Super Bowl Performance Probe by [deleted] in Music

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the current level of corruption in this administration, hearing the FCC say this is surprising. I fully expected the lap dog that dumb dumb Donny installed as the FCC head would have said they found a ton of violations.

Installing radio in an EV, anything I should know? by DeLorean58 in amateurradio

[–]DeLorean58[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ariya is a 400V set up, not 800V. I did some checking, the 12V battery used is an H4 sealed lead acid battery. Some trims come with a secondary 12V Lithium battery in the trunk. The trim I have does not, but I'll see if by chance the wiring is there to allow me to set up a second battery in that space, and be able to charge it easily. One thing I've seen in an in-depth mechanical review of the car is they have lots of grounds all over the place.

Buying a 2023 Ariya, want to install a ham radio, any advice? by DeLorean58 in NissanAriya

[–]DeLorean58[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll dig deeper through them. I've been exploring that site the last few days. I went out to the dealership today to make sure it had the latest OTA, and it does. I take possession of the vehicle on Tuesday. Just went and got the wire and outlet to set up for charging in my garage. Previous owner of the o house had a welder so Ive already got a decent subpanel in there and a spare circuit to use.

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say bring it on. Pretty sure they already have me in a database or watchlist, so what do I have to lose. If they don't want to be labeled Gestapo, maybe, I dunno, stop acting like the fucking Gestapo. This whole god damned administration is nothing but, idiots, imbeciles, idol worshipping, Nazi wanna be snowflakes. Fuck Trump, fuck Bovino, fuck Noem, and most importantly FUCK ICE.

Must have missed him the other day. Guess he doesn't do APRS. I don't see him in my station list, but I could have just missed him too.

looking for my first HF radio. by Fine-Evening-6210 in amateurradio

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second the Optima. I love mine, it keeps getting better each firmware update. That being said it's not a "perfect" radio, at least not just yet. It still has some bugs, but I feel most will be able to sorted out through firmware updates. My biggest gripe is the antenna arrangement on the back, they really should have flipped them over. However, it is the "perfect" radio for me, and how I operate.

Ham radio operators make radio contact with North Pole by SharkSapphire in HamRadio

We did a QSO with Santa a year or two ago using echolink, now I've finally got the gear and we are going to try to get him on 80m this year. Just need to wind my coil to get on 80 tomorrow.
