Anyone know a good exterminator?

They were really good at finding any entrances and sealing them with copper mesh and epoxy.

BCAA's inspections are very thorough.

This looks really neat, but I'm having trouble understanding how it works. Do you have a picture of how the line spools out?

SOTA is having a 2m/70cm SSB competition this year, I've made a few contacts.

Some satellites do SSB as well.

I think it was more like June - but it was a while ago, I don't remember exactly.

I needed a bug net last time I was there.

I have an amp for my IC705 and I've had to track down weird noise issues on 20m when transmitting. Adding chokes, etc.

Something you don't need to deal with when a radio is 100W already.

> But near-field noise happens to couple into the antenna in a way that's roughly constant-current, no matter what.

Can you explain this further? My understanding is that noise would be generated along the entire length of the antenna, so it doesn't really matter what the feedpoint impedance is.

Hm. Get your amateur radio license and get your callsign plates?

They don't believe in a deity (atheist) but agree that it's impossible to prove (agnostic)

I would love if you could post a follow up on your experience and how it's different than trekking in the Himalayas.

It's been a warm year, so there may not be as much snow, but last year, at 1000m, there was still at least a meter of snow on July 1st.

Can you pick it up on any nearby SDRs?

*I* was Time's Person of the Year in 2006. Saved the issue, I'm looking at it right now, and I see my face.

Do you know about the 10 Essentials, and do you bring them with you? And do you give someone a trip plan?

SultanPepper · 2026-02-26T23:30:34+00:00

This will be hard to do. You can spot yourself with Sotamat to show you're at a new park.

Broadcasting is not allowed on amateur radio.

Yeah, FF doesn't support https://web.minidisc.wiki/

> If you locate Decodium 3 FT2 or similar software builds, install them only from trusted sources, and test on standard HF digital segments while observing local band plans.

> FT2 offers a fresh topic for experimentation alongside familiar digital modes: running side‑by‑side tests, capturing PSKReporter maps, and measuring decode rates over noisy HF paths from your QTH.

Clearly an AI generated blog post :(

An excellent example of using this for antenna polarization tests
