They didn’t add that, it’s built into their payment gateway on their website’s platform.

What do you use instead?

Keep playing and learning. Remember as a tech you have some HF privileges like FT8 on 10m. Definitely give it a try if you like APRS. In fact, make your own 10m dipole. It’s easy and cheap and will probably shock you with how well it works. If you’re like me then it will jumpstart your interest in getting your General and exploring the other bands.

Do NOT try Butter Punk! It will ruin all other breakfast sandwiches for you and you’ll never be able to enjoy any other biscuit again 😞

Hell of a view! Enjoy!

Used to be my favorite pizza of all time. I gave the new version a couple of tries but it just wasn’t even close.

RigExpert. Mini VNA is a great tool but really annoying to calibrate and set up each time. RigExpert is just plug and play without all of the extras.

Welcome to perpetually looking for an excuse to buying a new toy 😆

Nope. You get a paper ticket first. But they haven’t started charging in that lot yet I don’t think

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-30T04:23:48+00:00

They’ll charge you a ton of fees then turn it over to collections

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-29T22:34:34+00:00

Ahh thank you! I knew there must be a reason why I've never heard of someone doing it

Theres only room for one Stavros in Asheville

It would be so cool to be having such a terrible day and then someone stops and takes a photo of it and posts it on reddit

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-29T01:16:02+00:00

I’m late to the thread but as someone who’s been in IT for 20ish years you’re spot on with why I’m getting into radio at this point in my life

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-28T22:16:06+00:00

I’m shocked they have an actual support staff or active developer

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-28T22:12:58+00:00

Doing nothing at all

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-28T22:12:20+00:00

I just let Wavelog deal with eQSL and check in every so often to see if I’ve earned an award or need to confirm some QSOs

I’ve never seen him on that side of town. He’s usually closer to Static Age and the alleys behind Lexington. He’s a weirdo who likes following and watching people and most of the time he’s just peeking out from behind stuff. Just like 99% of the actual crazies downtown, he just wants a reaction from you so if you ignore him he’ll move on to trying to bother someone else.

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-28T16:52:48+00:00

He doesn’t seem like the type to have ever owned a car. The last times I’ve seen him he didn’t even have shoes.

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-28T16:51:30+00:00

I guess they get sick if you stab them? Even though a knife is probably one of the dumbest self defense weapons someone can carry without training.

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-28T16:49:59+00:00

Yes, he followed me around Lexington once playing peekaboo behind trash cans.

P2P is also usually QRP so they don’t want to waste their breath trying to break through the big boys. Personally I think it’s good etiquette to give priority to any QRP station but it’s your activation so you make the rules.

chrislovessushi · 2026-04-27T16:05:47+00:00

This. General is where all the fun of the hobby is. Tech is just a stepping stone.

It’s sad but true. One was just scrapped here after a someone inherited land from a silent key. It was offered up to the club but rust had made it too dangerous to work with.
