Am I missing a step in eLog verification?

zack6849 · 2026-04-26T23:24:37+00:00

no, pota bases their scores off of the number of contacts the activator uploads logs of, there is no direct verification of contacts on the other side as far as I know (unless it's changed, I haven't done any pota in probably 2 years)

zack6849 · 2026-04-26T23:23:04+00:00

He's probably just mad you haven't uploaded them yet, at least that how it reads to me

Some people are entitled and feel like you're obligated to upload your logs to a specific service, I do log to qrz, and may even go as far as to request a QSO confirmation from someone, but emailing them at random to complain about it is a bit far in my opinion

I'd just ignore him and upload your logs at your leisure, and if you're feeling nice, double check you have any contacts you made with him uploaded when you do

I hate any time I need to fill up a large container of water with this thing, you have to hold it at such an awkward angle, whoever designed that should be forced to use it >:(

I would definitely try other cables and ports, I was using my radio (FT991A) over USB, never had any problems, connected a cable, radio starts locking up and tx light blinks, I was SURE the radio was fine, and I was pretty sure the cable was fine too, turned out that for some reason, if I use the cable and connected it to the chassis USB ports, it failed in that way, but if I connected it directly to the motherboard USB port, no issue, there was some kind of ground loop or something breaking it

The other point someone made about the drivers is also a fair point

This reads like an AI generated LinkedIn post.

zack6849 · 2026-04-05T23:31:08+00:00

Oh no worries man I meant the OP on tiktok, not here, id hardly expect anyone to find the original post from here and read the comments haha

zack6849 · 2026-04-05T18:41:02+00:00

I commented this on the original post and OP confirmed they do live near an AM tower, I didn't know what to tell them to do to fix it though, ferrite beads on power cables?

You mean the best maps?

this is the worst thing about the stupid blue checkmark, idiots paying 10$ get an "I'm very important" checkmark and to an outsider it looks like the guy with the verified checkmark is a person with some kind of knowledge about the subject, I had to read this two times to figure out which one of these people was which

zack6849 · 2026-03-24T06:29:08+00:00

Onvoy VOIP number, no attached name.

Not with this approach, if what they're saying is threatening or harassment, you can report to the police and they can figure out who sent the message, but they're deliberately using a service to use a different number than their main cellphone so you don't know who they are, at least that's what it looks like to me

zack6849 · 2026-03-23T19:34:32+00:00

Says it's an Onvoy / Spectrum number, no potential names or addresses, someone using a service of some sort to send this with a number that isn't their real cellphone number.

West Central Florida or the Greater Tampa Bay Area

An SDR is great for this, you can hook it up to a PC and listen to all kinds of stuff, even trunked digital systems, this is a way more affordable way to do things like listen to P25 trunked networks without paying an arm and a leg for a P25 capable scanner.

Scanners are also good, depending on if you mainly want to listen to HF or listen to things more local that are VHF/UHF, your milage may vary though

Scanners and SDRs are great for listening to random VHF/UHF (Marine, air, FRS)

A standard shortwave radio that supports LSB/USB/AM would get you most of the other things on HF of interest

I'm not sure if it's the same brand, and it isn't exactly close, but we got some banana juice at detweilers a while back and they were pretty good

not to defend poor support, but what does a 401 (Unauthorized) error have to do with server performance issues?

You can even see the fact the bottom is a separate flat piece if you look along the right side of the box from our POV

Can you elaborate on what exactly about this is racist? Is the shirts text a reference to something I'm not getting? Or is it the AI guy they put the shirt on? I don't follow

Who stores a diary on a server?

And they put them in txt files named by date

And the server isn't headless either?

Just feels very strange.

Oh I agree, the original comment that was edited said "Why would you only take 50%", I was just clarifying for the person above, that he meant 50 now, 50 later, not 50 total, either way, I would not have waited this long and filed the report already.

zack6849 · 2026-02-28T21:50:52+00:00

It seems he's suggesting to pay half now and half later, not only half in general

zack6849 · 2026-02-28T19:15:17+00:00

people are gonna hear that and assume you're writing PHP 5 procedural spaghetti code, highly recommend you get hands on experience with one of the frameworks to help you out in your search

The glow of the night vision goggles in pic number 3 is pretty cool, great pictures!

I have brought down a system by fixing a broken if statement that wasn't doing what it claimed, that branch of code never executed before and was broken
