Ham radio friends: the Arkansas QSO Party is today 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central Time. Look for me at WR5P, the bonus station.

One week away from the Arkansas QSO party. Let’s get some AR stations on the air May 17th from 9:00a - 9:00p Central Time. #hamradio

That's funny. I think the same thing when I see them! We get drylines coming off the plains that will make radar signatures that are just a few miles wide that look just like the Nexus.

First attempt this morning at receiving SSTV signal from the International Space Station. Need to make some adjustments! Doppler effect being one of them. #hamradio

I saw him in Dallas last year with The Hooters, Tommy Tutone and Rick Springfield and he was great!

Beautiful radio! Priceless, indeed. I have several large consoles in my collection.

The California earthquake 30 minutes ago was felt by the seismometer at Hobbs State Park (Rogers, Arkansas) about five minutes after it began. #arwx folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu/heli/heli_bb...

I just started relearning CW, too, and have the same problem! What are you using? I'm using a combination of G4FON's software and Morse Code Ninja.

@kristinestone.bsky.social I heard you mention this morning that you were here. Welcome to BlueSky!

Has anyone figured out a way to have a weather station auto-post to Bluesky? Twitter did away with that ability a couple of years ago and I miss getting posts from my station. #arwx

Why is it that in ham radio, you simply get one new component for the station but then end up reconfiguring the whole shack around it and buying/building 6 more things you didn’t realize you needed to accommodate that new component? This weekend, it was a LifePo4 battery. *facepalm*

If you're learning or relearning #CW, what method are you using?

I've challenged myself to relearn #MorseCode this winter. I'm using G4FON's software, which uses the Koch method. My only complaint is that when you add a character, it doesn't introduce the new character before each practice. Or am I missing that function somewhere? #hamradio
