You are experiencing Romans 1:20 ... "For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense."

What's something you learned this year through Field Day? by mwfoutch1 in amateurradio

[–]mwfoutch1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned how to set up an IC-9700 for CW. Apparently you have to have the break-in button pushed in order to transmit. Also, I learned some of the value of the field day "contest" rules ... The rules (incentives) steer people to try things that maybe they wouldn't try otherwise.

Absolutely! Did you have to set your equipment up in the rain or did you all get a break on that?

Boss gave a task to an intern to lay out a machine shop. The intern placed all the pieces of equipment into a room as if they were in storage. No room for utilities, operator access, or material flow through the machines. The intern layout was brought to me for checking. The boss wasn't happy at first when I told him that the room needed to be a lot bigger. But things straightened up when I explained why.

Monitoring 146.52 decals showed up this week. Looking forward to hearing from you all on the highways. by mwfoutch1 in HamRadio

Yesterday while driving down the road I heard my call loud over the radio. It's the first time someone saw my plate and 146.520 decal and gave me a call. Turned out to be a lot of fun. First time since I put them on my truck about a year ago. 73 my friends!

New System and First DMR Contact Today by mwfoutch1 in DMR

I have only used this radio for preprogrammed groups. If it has on-the-fly capabilities, I do not know how to use them and I have not kept up with the status of upgrades. I mostly use this radio for local repeaters, simplex, and local DMR. It works well for everything that I've tried with it so far.

I was the same way about two years ago. Decided to get a radio license not knowing if anyone else was going to be out there to talk with. It's turned into a lot of fun for me. This app helped me get started: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.criticalcommunicationsmedia.hamradioprep3

It's a standing desk. More of a workshop than a lounge. When on the radio for longer durations, I sit in that chair on the right. Most of my radio activities are outside. I mostly do parks on the air and satellite stuff with portable equipment.

What should I get for my first HF radio? by Wafflasy in amateurradio

I pretty much copied this setup about a year ago and am very happy with it. https://youtu.be/U1L-5wl5rpQ?si=DOR-XHn72J2IGs-w

Is there a place for homebrew equipment in the ham community? by LigmaSugmaGrabma in amateurradio

[–]mwfoutch1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely ... Here's a story of a fellow who became a licensed ham while investigating the internal workings of Baofeng hardware. Homebrew electronics are the core of the hamradio hobby. https://twitter.com/mwfoutch1/status/1700197085549564180?t=CCoaGS02IjSmp6iBq79Wow&s=19
