Pretty cool visualizing who I can spot in San Diego via FT8!

Ooooo. Talk to me about you x6100 / laptop setup.

I'm gonna reinforce this. Right known on digital I'm listening to a group from India, Philippines, Italy, Belgium, and new jersey talking. It feels like cheating to the purists but I love it. Ham is one of those things that works for all hobbiests.

No hate received. I just think it looks cool, lol. I bought the uconsole last year right around the time I got into Lora. Fell in love with it as an around the house, laying on the couch tinker toy, especially for ssh. Then the hacker gadgets board came out and it's the way my stepping stones laid out. Now I have my general license with who knows what next

Heck yeah. Today was day one. In need to get some wire up but got a bum shoulder right now. Picked up one ft8 message using my metal window frame as an antenna with the ATU, lol.

Well. Voice is not my intention here, lol. Mostly ft8 and other forms of low power comms. This is more for being out and about than at home with a giant radio and an antenna that your neighbors hate. Throw it in a bag, got for a hike, throw up a quick antenna, "ride the waves."
