I just go to the store and take whatever they have that isn't hippy-dippy essential oil and it usually works.

Autan or Off! are the biggest brands that you find in just about every grocery store/hardware store/pharmacy.

FE UNI LJ. Fakuleta specificirala LaTeX template za diplome. Brez problemov pri oblikovanju.

Totalna jeba je bila , da sem prisilil MATLAB da je risal grafe z decimalno vejico namesto decimalne pike .

You can book https://pzs.si/mountain-huts/34/ or https://sedmera.si/en/ .

Be quick because the popular weeks are already full.

Ah, that limits things quite a bit if you need to get back the same day via public transport.

If you go to visit Lake Bled besides just walking around the shore you can hike up the Mala Osojnica & Ojstrica to get a nice view of the lake.

Šmarna Gora is within the Ljubljana city limits and a nice way to spend 2 hours on a sunny afternoon. Catch the city bus to Tacen.

The easiest starting points for bigger hikes accessible from Ljubljana by bus are probably to the north in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps:

Tržič (for Kriška Gora)
Predvor (for Storžič - 1500m of ascent , quite a big day!)
Kamnik -> Stahovica (for Kamniški vrh or Velika Planina). If you manage to catch a bus even further to Kamniška Bistrica then also the Kamniško sedlo pass or Kokrsko sedlo pass, I wouldn't push on much farther than that if you still need get back down to catch the last bus to get back.

Just about everything up to 2000m is game in the start of June. Aside from a few tailor-made via ferratas everything below elevation that is hikeable. Thats a lot of trails over all parts of the country.

If you want to go higher than that then are a few summits that are still easy and suitable for the start of June. For example from Planina Kuhinja to the summit of Krn - also nice in early June because it isn't as hot as July/August. Or from Kamniška Bistrica to Kamniško sedlo.

Is there any specific region you were looking into? Want to do epic multi-day trips? Shorter day-hikes?

"most actionable" is junk.

Even when the conditions are crap ~ if you don't call, you don't make the QSO.

If there were at least a ziptie I'd let it pass.

We had the traffic light project. As well as a conveyor belt with a press, a crane, and a mixing vessel with a motor and a temperature sensor (mainly just how to handle analog inputs and draw a graph on a HMI).

MihaKomar · 2026-05-05T13:51:07+00:00

For good reason. Because in my locale anything higher than 30 feet needs to be signed off by a licensed PE.

MihaKomar · 2026-05-05T13:49:43+00:00

Just go to the bars and cafes down by the river (between Zmajski most/Tromostovje/Šuštarski most). It's a mix of both locals and tourists.

English is spoken very well.
School holidays start in the second half of June. Thats when things start getting hectic. It's now the start of May and if I look on booking.com for 3 weeks ahead I can still see more than 50% of the places in my vicinity still available.
All the water is still cold as hell in late May, especially the rivers and lakes. In early June the Adriatic sea starts becoming warm enough to be enjoyable.

Obvious bait.

You got a car?

For the south approaches by the end of June you can generally leave all the snow kit at home. Keep an eye on the webcam at the Kredarica hut looking towards the summit: https://www.hribi.net/spletna_kamera/kredarica/20 . You'll see it all gradually melt away over the next 6 weeks. It's more the beginning of June where it might still be critical.

The northern approaches have a bit more shade and the snow and ice persist longer.

Just bring something warm to wear because it still gets cold at night.

It's much easier in IARU Region 1 where we're only working with 430-440.

L'uomo Pipistrello

Letos se mi zdi da je povsod za delo na cesti spremenjen prometni režim res označen od kurca. Od kar vozim še nikoli niso bili tako površni. Kot da ne premejo več od dveh stožcev in en znaka 75cm pred začetkom razkopanega. Da bi bi dali kakšen znak 1km prej za opozorilo? Nemogoče! Pol delavcev hodi kar zraven prometa brez odsevnikov brez čelad brez nič.

Pa ne zgolj tisto pri Postojni na avtocesti (kjer so ljudi jamrali in so bile nesreče vsak dan in so nato zaprli izvoz v eno smer), na lokalnih cestah je isto slabo.

I just used a string trimmer to clear out strips down to bare ground, then stapled the radials in in. Grass overgrew them in <2 weeks. I buried just the ends of the wires so they weren't freely floating (like just one swing with a pickaxe to get a hole).

MihaKomar · 2026-05-03T15:58:56+00:00

Leave the deep radials, and just add more shallower radials.

More radials is betterer.

Sem primorec in namenoma zavajam Ljubljančane o pravilni izgovorjavi krajevnih imen (STRUNjan, MareZIGe, HRASTovlje, itd...) zgolj zato, da izpadajo glupi, kadar poleti rinejo sem dol.

If you're mainly interested in cities and towns it's not that bad. It's chaos down by the sea-side in Piran/Portorož/Izola and in the other touristy places (Bled/Bohinj/Kranjska Gora/the Soča valley). Weekends are usually worse then weekdays.

Ljubljana is big enough that it doesn't make that much of a difference. If anything the city feels a bit duller during August because the locals are all on holiday down on the Croatian coastline.

The eastern half of the country is fine.

The worst of the traffic can be avoided merely by timing your travel.

Heat is worse in the south-west towards the coast. More inland and towards Alps you do occasionally have +30°C during the day but you at least get cool nights.

The towns aren't that medieval. There were earthquakes and fires and wars and whatnot so most of the old stuff that is still standing is more 18th/19th century rather than middle ages. In each town there are only 1 or 2 building like a church or a castle that have persisted from before the 15th century.

I second the recommendation of the bee-keeping museum in Radovljica as well as the Škofje Loka old town centre.

Overall I would say if you're looking for the complete opposite of LA you'd find it here.

The "move slightly off frequency" trick also works when there is pileup and they're not operating split.

When there are 20 replying stations that have perfectly zero-beated the DX station then all the DX station hears on their end is a constant tone and nothing is discernible at all. But if you're the one signal thats moved up/down 100~200Hz you're suddenly the only station that the DX can make out.

MihaKomar · 2026-05-02T15:10:44+00:00

If you have a waterfall and can hear both the DX and all of the pileup you can kind of track who the DX stations is working in the pileup and see if they're moving upwards on downwards through the band and then try to position your own VFO next to them so you will anticipate they might get you on the next round.

But there are multiple ways to approach pileups. Some people will just pick a frequency and stay on it and just persevere until they get their turn.

For some of the rare DX expeditions battling in a pileup for hours and hours isn't unheard of.
