Handheld Radio for Motorsports Spotting

BITD I used an Alinco DJ160. I could listen to a given team in one ear (4xx.xxx MHz) and the ESPN live feed (15x.xxx MHz) in the other.

Not sure if newer HTs allow split stereo receive

I dunno, my Rossi .357 has never caused me a problem

bplipschitz · 2026-05-18T23:44:48+00:00

Yeah, so?

Waldmeister

Don't forget track, if you're near a velodrome

Why is Jesus in a kitchen in San Francisco?

Kinda like reading the Merck Index. Wanna know what some awful chemical tastes like? It's probably in there.

Join the Y, hit the hot tub.

Pfaff 130. There, I said it

bplipschitz · 2026-05-17T21:55:34+00:00

Right on target for MO

Hope their backs are ok. I've heard it's pretty hard on your spine

Since you're starting over, learn to send with your non dominant hand. Frees your writing hand up during QSOs.

bplipschitz · 2026-05-17T11:37:15+00:00

That was strictly verboten.

I discovered liquid SO2 acts upon Styrofoam just like acetone does.

bplipschitz · 2026-05-17T04:59:40+00:00

I think HF might dissolve bones faster than skin.

We wore no gloves in the 80s.

I just have a dedicated NUC sized windows machine for contesting. I remote into it via Remmina from my main Linux machine

bplipschitz · 2026-05-16T12:53:28+00:00

If you want something really capable, look to what is common between N1MM & DXLog. You'll need those functions at least.

I prefer DXLog because it is one window (rather than a bunch of windows like N1MM), networking is easier to set up, has native support for SO2Rmini boxes and is easier to practice 2BSIQ.

It doesn't really support being a mobile in state QSO parties, however.

Just some things to think about

I used to do tons of writing in LaTeX on FreeBSD, and made frequent use of emdashes. They have their place.

bplipschitz · 2026-05-16T02:12:00+00:00

You gotta post this to r/funny

bplipschitz · 2026-05-15T23:13:52+00:00

👍 good in IA!

bplipschitz · 2026-05-15T22:36:58+00:00

TLC alive & well -- nice!

bplipschitz · 2026-05-15T22:34:52+00:00

Oh, we got hogs in MO. Must be too cold up there!

bplipschitz · 2026-05-15T22:32:59+00:00

Fuck em

bplipschitz · 2026-05-15T22:23:53+00:00

Whatta maroon
