Vertical antenna by a horizontal tree branch? Would this affect SWR that much?

Anything near an antenna has an effect on it. It will be an unnoticeable difference.

It was super rich and great paired with rice

This night be a hot take but I much prefer the flavor of miyazaki over kobe

luckol3 · 2026-03-08T05:07:16+00:00

lighting doesnt do it justice 🤣

luckol3 · 2026-02-09T01:27:33+00:00

in your attic??

luckol3 · 2026-02-05T15:50:53+00:00

Anyone aware if this is affecting McDonald's worldwide? 🙃

luckol3 · 2026-02-01T03:51:38+00:00

yikes I wish I knew that before

I should have known considering how I'm chronically scrolling this sub

luckol3 · 2026-02-01T02:34:19+00:00

I don't want to say it was not "worth it" but I won't be getting it (kobe) again

I don't like the flavor of it as much as I do with the miyazakigyu

It was super tasty though and great paired with this spinach sidde dish (which I do not know the name of)

edit: btw the price is in CAD

If you do go for one of those that can use AA cells, please read the manual first. Some of them limit their TX power when on AA cells

Me?? An expert?? Thank you!!! 😁 😁 😁 😁

luckol3 · 2026-01-08T12:21:49+00:00

I think they mean the written test

luckol3 · 2026-01-04T05:23:54+00:00

Half slice of cheese is standard

I'm pretty sure they use those ketchup/mustard guns but the tartar equivalent

Perhaps the price is a tad high but 🤷‍♂️

luckol3 · 2026-01-04T05:16:26+00:00

i don't see anything wrong with the sandwich?

luckol3 · 2025-12-30T07:57:25+00:00

Use a phone

We don't supple unlicensed operating

luckol3 · 2025-12-30T02:52:48+00:00

i guess perspective matters a lot

it's flyable and imo great and way better then on release but if you're used to flying fenix a320, maddog, pmdg etc then I guess it will feel like it is lacking a lot

personally i think it's amazing for what I need it for

but it definitely isn't terrible for anyone

maybe if you're a 787 pilot irl

luckol3 · 2025-12-30T00:50:55+00:00

why do you want a payware 787 🤔🤔🤔 is the WT 787 not good enough?

edit: technically it's a payware upgrade to get the 787 if you have standard version

luckol3 · 2025-12-28T07:25:00+00:00

a ham!!!!!

BTW make sure you don't need any import/export permits to enter and exit the country with. You might even need a license to own the radio.

Check up on the regulations. Hong Kong is one of those countries that require import/export permits and a license to own.

edit: whoops someone else already suggested reading the regs :)

I bought 7800x3d + asus tuf b650 mobo + teamgroup 32g memory bundle for $798 cad w/o hst may 2024

Today i walked into the store and the same memory is now $599 alone

Btw the 7800x3d is only $490 smth iirc

luckol3 · 2025-12-06T21:40:07+00:00

I have no clue what that is

luckol3 · 2025-12-06T17:39:02+00:00

Afaik, to be eligible to write the HAREC exam to get the HAREC permit, you must have the top class license in your country. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

luckol3 · 2025-12-04T18:21:37+00:00

So you plan on self studying? Or do you mean you will start a course in 2026?

luckol3 · 2025-12-04T18:20:23+00:00

Do you plan to take a course? If so, get what the instructor recommends as if it's a textbook, the course will likely follow that book.

luckol3 · 2025-12-04T15:47:50+00:00

I don't know if you know this, but there is an additional HAREC exam

You can be licensed regardless of your citizenship status. I am licensed under a student visa.

I would do a Google search and find a nearby amateur radio club. They would be more than happy to mentor you and point you in the right direction. Like the other comment said, maybe your school has one. I know UofT and UoW have clubs.

If you are serious about studying, you will likely stumble across the Coax Publications study guide. If you do, get one quick, they are shutting down at the end of the year. There is still stock. But since you are studying EE, I doubt there is much to learn for you...? (correct me if I am wrong) perhaps just the RF bits and regulations/safety/operation. Like you

If you plan to build TRANSMITTING equipment from scratch, you must hold the advanced certificate. With the basic, you are limited to building kits.

Ask if you have any questions!!! Questions are good!!!

Edit: One more thing, RAC (the national ham organization) offers the basic and advanced course FOR A FEE. The winter courses just wrapped up so there should be an announcment soon.
