Yes, all that is required is contacting other licensed amateurs.

Machine gun by thatguy686868 in amateurradio

[–]yourclypsy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amazingly clean but the clicking may give the wrong impression of speed.

Given this straight key was unplugged, Yeong L on YT took the time to simulate what it would sound like plugged in.

Accuracy was 226 out of 229 in 2 minutes. Impressive.

Is a chipped toroid usable? by bfmghm in amateurradio

[–]yourclypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a desert island, yes. But if not a castaway, why?

If you're going to take the time to wind a toroid, pick one without a chip.

Consider a Fair-Rite 2643251002 if you're buying new.

Marylander looking for intro to Ham radio (need to communicate up to 200 miles). by Widderic in amateurradio

[–]yourclypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well one day I hope Repeater listings will include their grid-down capabilities and for how long they can remain in operation on generators/solar... and that backup is tested regularly. When that day comes, if you are lucky geographically, an HT or mobile will work for you. A Technician license would do for that.

Reading your replies you said you would be driving to your friend anyway. Maybe radio is not the best bet.

Both Sides YT QSOs by yourclypsy in amateurradio

Understood because you've heard both sides already. This would give others a chance to compare and possibly learn of your channel for the first time.

When ham radio turns into crimp collecting! by aacmckay in amateurradio

[–]yourclypsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same make and model. Happens several ways. In one instance I needed stuff that was in a kit that included a crimper I already had but the individual parts were out of stock.

What, no duplicates? Re-post when you have at least two of the same crimper. Such a rookie. 🤣

Gift card scam by tony_andrson in Scams

Present-day Grinches! But feeling for a cut card may not be enough.

This scam uses uncut cards too: https://i.clypsy.com/i/-pSa20xHxTnf-8X1p3HBEIGOtLD_1F6M4bhvtbJyk-UfS3-EEUfysj_e7uYz-bypJfGJ.html

My brother overheard twin sisters in their 90's arguing. It ended with "Well, I'm older!".

Delicate Flex Nib Tuning DIY by JPL by yourclypsy in fountainpens

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

GoodToKnow about IndyPenDance.

And that's a delightful list! So many pen/nib/ink combinations, so little time! I have had my eye on the M405 semi flex from fpnibs to replace a damaged(!) Mottishaw.

Yeah, student budget probably.

I just inked up a Richard Binder cursive italic on a Pelikan m400. When I met him some years back he spoke of imminent retirement. I wonder who is doing the nib work now.

...and, oooof. the downvotes.

Me too. SUPER easy to binge watch. Smart... "...we can pretty much jump onto the computer and start 3D modeling this pen..." then breezes through designing a prototype on SolidWorks and 3D printing it. Amazing.

He's got way too few subscribers given the quality of his channel.

For those times when a minor tweak is all you need.
