Another tough day on the AmateurRadio #HamRadio #HF bands. But thanks to #MastodonHam J.C. @KC8JC started the morning off GREAT on 40 meters with this #POTA #parksontheiar #MorseCode CW #QSO at US-7956 Beargrass Creek State NAture Preserve Louisville, KY . USA

#AmateurRadio #HamRadio #HF Bands for this morning's #POTA #parksontheair CW #MorseCode activation was like an Allstate commercial, "MAYHEM". #40meters was but found relief on #30meters. Thanks Alan #W2aew @alanattek for finding me as I couldn't hear you on 40. Got in 18 contacts before 20 MPH winds started.

Just hooked up an oscilloscope to my HF antenna feed line and it looks like I'm getting a large ~1 MHz signal from the antenna before being filtered in the transceiver to receive 14.074 MHz.

any tips on where to get #HF propagation reports that are accessible for #Blind? i'm just interested on what frequencies have activities for listening. #Radio #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #Accessible #BlindHam

#antennaas packed and marked. A #3dprinter changes ones view of world so much..

This is the end of the 2025 CW round of the French Championship contest.

ENAMS Electrical Noise Area Measurement System (https://www.enams.de/index.php/en/) records interference levels in the frequency range from 66 kHz to 31 MHz in Germany and other participating countries.
You can view diagrams (https://www.enams.de/index.php/en/diagrams-evaluation) and you can operate yourself a device (https://darcverlag.de/ENAMS-20)

A little Saturday morning #HF #Winlink. Anyone want to try and schedule a peer to peer connection sometime?

I mocked up wannabe-KH1 handheld CW-tranceiver, with tuner and battery. The telescope antenna is 1.5m long.

Couldn't get any RBN to spot me but at least local KiwiSDR heard me on from inside house on 40m and 20m - no high hopes for QSOs still :)

Absolutely like this already! I think I can call this true QRP?

Well i re-subscribed to QRZ XML Logbook Data last night. Getting ready for some Ham Radio once back in the UK. #hf

So its just gone 05:00 hrs on 2025-01-01, since i'm awake i have checked my email and have the new password for the LoTW account for KC2VWR , so now LoTW and Clublog are syncing for KC2VWR. #hf #vhf #hamradio

So its just gone 05:00 hrs where i am, since i'm awake i have checked my email and I have received the new LoTW certificates for KC2VWR & 2E0LUN so LoTW is now installed on the Laptop. Also started to sync LoTW with ClubLog for 2E0LUN, next i'll sync KC2VWR. #clublog #hamradio #hf #vhf #lotw

Are any of the stealthy HF flagpole antennas any good? Do they generally have radials? I'm skeptical of tuner-only vertical antenna designs with no radials. #hamradio #amateurradio #HF #antennas #stealthantenna

New toys arrived! I can now safely finish calibrating the mcHF radio. The dummy load is a bit of a handful but one can aspire to bigger things in the future… right? #electronics #hamradio #hf

The PiZero 2W spectrum recorder runs for 7 hours on two 18650s & a step-down 5V converter (which doesn’t seem to add measurable noise on HF). And of course the batteries are hot-swappable as the unit has its own small UPS battery. The only limitation is the amount of free space on the MicroSD card #PortableSDR #SDR #HF #Shortwave #SpectrumCapture #SpectrumRecording #AirSpy

If you are tired of right wing propaganda and nonsense on ham radio HF frequencies may I suggest 7.147 LSB Monday through Friday beginning at 7 AM US central time and ending around 8 AM.

Very refreshing.
