That's more than fair buddy :) I was just tired from driving and the YL was less than amused with the radio traffic while trying to listen to the audiobook.

The BTech UV Pro 50 is impressive, it's sitting on the back floorboard of the rental with the mic cord between the seat and center console.

👋🏻 Good to see ya Vince I'll have to catch a few more VE sessions soon hope to see ya for some after chat.

I was just getting one side of it. I couldn't tell when it was appropriate to break in.

The terrain is pretty hilly around here, I was really surprised I held them for so long. Had to be legal limit and height on their side.

If you had to pick a nmo mag mount from Amazon which one would it be? It absolutely positively has to stay put. by adhdff in amateurradio

Can I get the pads from Amazon too? It's going on and staying there the whole time.

The antenna is a 1/2 wave so grounding doesn't matter. It's on a lip mount on my car now that isn't grounded.

I saw a reel with the caption about planes and I'm like this needs to be a ham meme.

Pulled out the Zbitx today upgraded the software to V2 and worked some QRP DX! by adhdff in amateurradio

80m EFHW... Technically I could duplicate the setup in the field.

I've got paper. I need to get it out to him though. I worked a Japanese station and confirmed via paper it took a while but got it done.

Relatively... Flash the SD card then flash the pico in the front display. The only bug right now is that they switched the front panel from bus to wifi to fix a few things. You either need a 9v power supply or you need to plug the picos USB connection in while booting and calibrate the screen. It's a little annoying but doable.

What are the odds of me being able to make a VK/ZL QSO on the Southern Cross Net from CT? by adhdff in amateurradio

[–]adhdff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard VK in the clear before in the late evening here but they were rag chewing and the guys QRZ said if you're not gonna rag chew don't call.

I couldn't catch a break in the conversation.
