You should check out Ham Radio Crash Cpurse on YouTube. Lots of great info there.

Yeah I was on Kbin but got tired of the UI. Plus there are no apps for it.

We have a similar one here in the US. People think if you go outside when it’s too cold, you’ll get sick.

They’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.

Isn’t it maintained again?

Most activity, I’ve seen here: !amateurradio@lemmy.ko4abp.com but there’s a lemmy bug that’s not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.

These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

They are fine for starting out with, but you’ll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.

Ham radio! It’s relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.

Using lemmy is well worth the $5 per month I give them.

Lol yeah I thought that was cool.

Side note, are you a C developer?

Yep!

I have photos of the interior. Let’s see if this is the one.

I moved further north and I miss it so much!

All the ones mentioned mostly. But also Linux in the Ham Shack.

The boosts segment annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I just don’t want to hear about crypto.

I put on ska on easy days sometimes. Today I listened to Supernothing by Streetlight Manifesto like 3 times.
