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 never bothered to learn what a Smith chart was while cramming for my #HamRadio license. https://youtu.be/GK2pZ_oVU1o by the Veritasium YouTube channel covers details about it.
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.

Any fediverse #HamRadio #amateurradio peeps near Kissimmee FL? I’ll be out that way for a work week next month.
I wonder if there might be interest in a real-time full-band & multi-band Deep Machine Learning CW decoding application for Mac? GPU & Neural Engine accelerated, with DX cluster and streaming JSON/Websocket API (full decodes in real time, OpenAPI spec): https://youtu.be/FSvMRQ1qojw ... Or maybe the same on Windows 11 (GPU or NPU accelerated, pretty heavy on CPU alone): https://youtu.be/qqQsqIUnPXw #hamradio
"After Dark" Ham stickers are now live in my Ko-Fi shop!

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.
I thought this was an entertaining summary about #hamradio.

Renewed my #HamRadio license today! I haven't been on the air in over a decade but might as well keep current.
QST for all hams in range of the Cal State Channel Islands campus in Camarillo, California. The 3rd annual Bored Net µExpo is happening this Saturday Oct 3rd. It’s a free ham radio event targeted to Ventura County hams but open to all - by hams for hams.
I will be giving a presentation - Intro to Ham Radio Satellites at 2pm in my new role as AMSAT Ambassador. Hope to see you there! #hamradio #amsat

The headline on the 44Net Connect website is "Next-Generation Digital Amateur Radio Infrastructure". How can it be next generation when it's still using a protocol from 40 years ago and the replacement protocol was first specified 30 years ago?
It's especially mind-boggling for me because I was using 44Net over the air back then. It's how I learned TCP/IP, and in some ways I owe that my career. But how is rehashing all of this an advancement of the state of the art?

Aha! Finally cracked the code for firmware programming a Quansheng. (Not all programming cables work) #hamradio #quansheng
Oh my! I just heard about this work!
