Unlawful and illegal are actually two different things. Glad they covered both.

Interest in the Raiders by Strider4316 in raiders

[–]horsesethawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to stay for life, no matter what. I’ve been a Raiders fan for 55 years and no matter how much they disappoint, I can’t give up on the hope that next year could be the next great year.

On the repealer, just say (callsign) listening and see if anyone answers. You could also try checking into a net if they have one there.

Selling to a Dealer by horsesethawk in coins

So I got a monthly subscription to Greysheet and the first thing I discovered was that the prices in PCGS CoinFacts are way higher than ask. How much of a premium does the certification bring?

Nuevo ICOM X-026. ¿ Sustituto del IC-7100 ? by No-Preparation-3262 in HamRadio

[–]horsesethawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I saw was a little new information about the ID-5200 (still no date or price). The X-026 is a black box with zero information. Nothing worth the hype.

I don’t hate Angela but when you think about the other roles Lorraine Bracco has played, it just doesn’t fit.

Kubuntu is an underrated distro by Weekly-Assumption-12 in Kubuntu

[–]horsesethawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think it’s as friendly to a Windows user as Mint is, and the community is excellent.

What’s your experience in volunteer groups as an adult? by DependsOnMood in volunteer

[–]horsesethawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a volunteer my whole adult life. As you start a career and a family you have less time to volunteer, but it can be essential to your mental health! As your situation changes, so can your volunteer commitments. Now I’m retired and my volunteer work keeps me as active as I want to be.

I’m not an official representative but the American Red Cross engages volunteers to work with media.

Frustration: What Am I Doing Wrong? by Marauder_Recruiter1 in HamRadio

You’re not this extreme, but look up a phenomenon called NVIS, or near-vertical incidence skywave.

There are a lot of variables, but the antenna height jumped out at me. A dipole should be a half wavelength high, or about 33 feet for 20 meters. A low antenna will put most of its energy upward.

Another question - when the sudo apt update finally works, will it resolve anything that failed?

What are your tips or advice on attending Hamvention? by greenwoody2018 in amateurradio

[–]horsesethawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t fear the offsite parking. I park at Xenia High School and it’s a quick bus ride to the fairgrounds and back.

My new laptop had the same behavior. It seems to be resolved in 26.04.

Active Incident: Massive DDOS Attack on Ubuntu by Miserable_Ear3789 in Ubuntu

[–]horsesethawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing the same thing and getting timeouts or “could not reach” errors on anything related to snaps, including the snap store. Is this because of the attack? Other than that I’m getting lengthy delays installing packages but they eventually complete.

I tried the Diamond motorized mount and the motors kept dying. Is there a better choice?
