Below is a list of web rings that this blog is a part of.

Recently I’ve started using nushell for shell scripting.

I’m a little late on this, but I thought I take the moment to write down some reflections on this past year and plan for the future.

Ham Radio Solutions sells a $30 device that lets you connect your CW key to your phone or computer.

# The Hike It has been a while since I went out on an activation on my own.

Last year, I made the overly ambitious goal to activate every POTA park in Maryland.

I’ve gone to US-1589 Patuxent River State Park to try to activate the park with the QMX a few times since my last post.

I don’t have very many weekends free in August, so I needed to scope out the next park for August’s Coffee and POTA.

Today was Rockville Science Center’s monthly Coffee and POTA outing.

Curiosity got the best of me.

I passed my technician’s test in March.

This Support Your Parks weekend was looking like it was going to be a cold one.

I wasn’t intending to activate a park today.

NOTE: HYS did not pay me to promote this item.

I didn’t intend to activate a park on this Monday before New Years Eve.

Links to content, software, and resources that I enjoy.

Today, as part of my attempt to activate every park in Maryland, I visited two historic locations.

My kid and I went out to activate US-1589 Patuxent River State Park.

I recently watched Michael KB9VBR’s YouTube video on using a Faraday cloth as a radial network.

In my previous post I showed how to get notifications from HamAlert on a deGoogled phone.

This blog has been a bit neglected the past few months because I fell down an amateur radio rabbit hole.
