Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there’s a lot of carry over from the test.

Once the dead rat and blood wall were cleaned up, the stream really went down hill

It’s both. SK, Stop Keying, is used in CW (morse) whenever a station is done transmitting. SK is also Silent Key, but you’ll rarely hear the abbreviation over voice or CW.

Could be that ARRL was down then. All links work for me.

Yea in a community you only see the community info. The “official” sidebar is only on the main feed

What do you see and what link are you using? On my Mac in safari at lemmy.radio I can see it. Not in a community

The general sidebar on the right has some links for how to get into amateur radio.

Not a lemmy dev so I’m not the go to on issues. I had that issue on Firefox though.

I feel like every year since I’ve been licensed and an ARRL member, I’ve become less enthused by the ARRL. To the point where this may be my last year as a member.

Also a thought: I use a few ARRL links in our side bar I wouldn’t mind changing to non-ARRL links. Open to suggestions.

It’s a blast to play. Took about 6 tries to finish the game. The difficulty spike at the end is kinda crazy. Definitely recommend getting it before/if Nintendo takes it down.

I do enjoy my morserino-32. It was an educational experience to build and it has definitely helped my cw comprehension

I bought a pretty basic safety razor from maggard about 10 years ago and still love it. The biggest thing to learn and invest in is what blades and lather you like. I started off buying a blade sampler pack from them and settled on astra blades. i’ll change up my lather/soap sometimes. Also a nice brush is good to have.

Oh no

Nice and open minded. I got a pretty decent response from my Senator after I wrote them last week.

I second what @NO5IG says, @suzyq. Take the test and go get his call sign :)

Ha I have almost the same story. Grandfather talking to people on his radio all day, missing dinner, and my grandma getting mad at him. He’s one of the reasons I got into ham radio! Thanks for sharing your story!

No, this is patrick

They bring up him needing to resign at the end lol

There is no indication from the DoD that Kirkpatrick is no longer the Director of the AARO, despite publishing the letter, which was likely done without clearance.

Liberation Times does however understand that Kirkpatrick’s position as AARO Director may be untenable.

Also “UFO Chief” is a great title. Can’t tell if they’re using it to denigrate him.

Hopeful. Would be nice if the people around him didn’t smirk, smile, and laugh when he says “aliens”

I wish he would make an official statement and not this: a post to his LinkedIn that he only shared with 1st connections.

Good time to look over @SignullGone’s post to help write to your reps/senators
