Do you regularly use an external speaker with your HF radio? If you have more than one HF radio, I want to know about your primary one. The one you use the most.

Please comment what radio you have and why you chose what you did.

I found an artist who will draw the logo for the Pride Radio Network, a global queer-owned & operated repeater system founded by myself & some Aussies, but I need some ideas to give to the artist. Who has ideas? Describe what you think might work as a logo for the network.

I'm looking for an artist who is familiar with ham radio who could draw up a logo for the Pride Radio Network and also another one for my QRZ profile picture. I want to ditch the AI-generated images and replace them with real artist content.

Things that I got myself into due to #amateurradio...

I build my first kite and choose a design that is the hardest to build. All that cutting, trimming, matching, #sewing night after night...

And it barely flies due to my mismanagement of string lengths. I will try it again and should be fun if I can keep it airborne =)

Hopefully this will lift an #antenna at some point in the future.

Preparations for the Salmon Run (WA State QSO Party) are begining!

https://salmonrun.wwdxc.org/

Got some non-radio related house tasks to finish first, but I made a moment to hoist the fish up the mast.

I'll be on the air around noon, US/Pacific time.

A short mast with a 2 element beam for 50MHz on top, several guy wires running down the side and a wire vertical off to the left. The background is a clear blue sky. There is a rainbow fish wind sock hanging from it.

Many hams first learned radio in uniform: Signal Corps, Navy radiomen, MARS.

They never all looked alike. They included Navajo Code Talkers, the women of the WWI Signal Corps (recognized as veterans only in 1977), Black radiomen in segregated units, and LGBTQ service members who served in silence.

Thank you, all of you.
