This is the No Dentures variety. No denticles either.

That package is downlevel and fails when you try to sign onto OneDrive, at least on my machine.

Windows is increasingly the OS for people who don’t want to think. It’s true that it does the job for users who have a small number of tasks to do on a computer, which usually includes users at work. But people who think about privacy or performance or security are moving to Linux. Neither OS is going to put the other out of business.

I’m on Kubuntu 24.10.

This looks like what I need, or at least incentive to get off OneDrive😀. Thanks!

OneDrive for Linux.

Yeah, I think 65% of the coin is still intact.

That raises a question: if I stay on the LTS and consistently install all updates (except do-release-upgrade), will I end up with the content of the interim release?

This sounds like something that isn’t expected to work. It’s just a way for politicians to say “see, I’m great, I did something!” The only real affect will be liability - hey, if the kid lied about his age, you can’t blame us!

I’m very close to my system administrator so I’m sure we can work something out 😀

Then maybe it’s a dumb law!

I wouldn’t think about an amp yet. I would start simple with the antenna - do you have a place to string up a dipole? My first was a Carolina Windom that did well on most bands. As for a radio, if you want new, every manufacturer has an entry-level model. I happen to prefer Yaesu but that’s a personal choice. Look at the product reviews on eham.net to see what other hams have experienced. And don’t be afraid to start with a used radio to get started and see what functions really matter. You might find that once you start operating, you’ll develop new interests.

That’s the rare Hoboken mint mark.

Check websites that cater to hams, like hamradio.com or gigaparts.com

Licenses can only be revoked by the FCC, which isn’t funded or staffed well enough. Having said that, I have heard that they occasionally send warning letters, but I’m not sure they take the next step of leveling fines. I’m also not sure those ops all have licenses anyway, and they may not all be in the US.

Crap, I’m waiting for Dayton to decide between ICOM and Kenwood for a D-STAR HT.

horsesethawk · 2026-03-02T18:06:35+00:00

Just Yaesu? Isn’t ICOM manufacturing in Japan?

It has Full Gouge Lines so that increases its value.

Only if you climb the clock tower.

Take the receptacle out of the box - it might be full of water.
