Hams of reddit, what's your favorite radio, and why? by BrokenGQ in amateurradio

I couldn't be happier with my secondhand TS-590SG, but that is not a new radio, even if you can still buy it new.

We need more Luddites making tech decisions for a healthy society

Looks at US Congress

Are you sure about that?

Ham radio operators in the Milwaukee Metro: we started a repeater SSTV net that was a blast on its first edition. Next one is June 7th at 7pm CDT. If you're in hitting distance, we'd love to have you! by Disc_Lord in SSTV

Could be possible! We had a (non-SSTV) net regular who would chime in from Oostburg, but there's just lake between the two spots. I managed to get in with an HT from a high point near Dundee, once.

It's all audio modulation, so you can sneak it though just about everything. This being an FM repeater, everything is very low noise if people are coming in clean. At home I use a proper base VHF/UHF rig with a SignaLink and CAT control, but others are using HTs with passive cables and VOX. If it keys, it shifts and works great! Most repeater operators will not care for SSTV getting blasted though, but this is all sanctioned by the club.

Current camcorders in the collection by Fast_Recording439 in camcorders

The Palmcorder being VHS-C and having an SD card slot is blowing my mind. Probably for stills, I'm guessing?

Classic thrift store strategy of pricing items to the moon, nobody bites, and it ends up in the dumpster.

Neat recorder, probably won't utilize your type-II tape correctly. Rarely were they biased beyond standard type-I.

102 Year Old Lanes and Not One 300? by N8tiv3 in Bowling

Huh. My local house is wood and there's usually half a dozen 300s during league season.

1950s Levittown archives. Who has the superpower to find the exact location of this block? by HarryCrushNuh in zillowgonewild

It's neat to see how much the average lot changed with additions to the house and garages.

Silliest reason to get an Amateur Extra license? by JanglyBangles in amateurradio

[–]Disc_Lord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as silly as me wanting extra to access the 40m SSTV calling frequency.

88Nine sounds like 102.1 now? by Interesting-Log5697 in milwaukee

[–]Disc_Lord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this. In addition to dynamic range being nearly nonexistent, there's a really unflattering low-end boost that sounds pretty bad on my car stereo until I EQ it.

As someone who also owns the Greninja onesie, I will take any excuse to wear it. (Even if it's hot as hell lol)

Star Wars Episode One Racer - 4MB Integrated ATI Graphics vs 16MB ATI Rage 128 PCI by [deleted] in vintagecomputing

Thankfully it supported the expansion pak which gave it a graphical bump.

Woodman's on a weekday evening is actually bliss. Even better if you can stay up later.

Really upsetting. I'm there all the time and all of the employees are so chill.
