  • Do you like the taste of vinegar? Does anyone?

  • A Canadian friend introduced me to putting malt vinegar on my “fish and chips”. Was one of those eye opening “why haven’t I been doing this all my life!” moments.

  • What Can We Do to Get Youth into Ham Radio?

    Jump

  • This is very one sided. There's SO much more to ham radio than voice.

    Maybe the question is "How do we get people to think that ham radio is more than just a voice call?"

  • If you're in the US, you can test online! https://hamstudy.org/sessions/remote

    I do agree that the test itself could be tuned down a bit, especially for the tech license. hamstudy.org also has all of the test questions available online to help you study.

  • If I remember right, there was a pretty big change in how pictrs(photo management) worked with lemmy after 0.19.3. There were a few breaking changes and Postgres updates that would take an instance down for a while as well. Not sure if that’s the reason why but it made my instance stay on 0.19.3 for longer than it should have.

  • What are some of your favorite/successful methods for finding new Lemmy instances/channels for niche topics?

    Jump

  • Hashtags do not replace groups.

    Jump

  • As an instance owner and moderator: that’s a horrible way to look at things. Just throwing the onus onto someone else is irresponsible.

    Jump

  • I’m all for it as long as people know that posting on something like mastodon and tagging a lemmy community will then make a post in that community. Could make for great discussions, but could also lead to a lot of posts/spam in the communities.

    Jump

  • Those are all great options for sure. And while not an exact answer to your question, you could maybe go a bit simpler (and cheaper) for just 2, 10, & 20m like an end fed half wave.

    Thoughts on how you’ll run it to your second floor?

  • Spotting with the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • For lemmy: it's mostly link sharing, so I'd mostly see posting about *OTA experiences, pics, questions here in the POTA/SOTA communities.

    Mastodon, on the other hand, would just be one way to show something like that since it's more time related and ephemeral. Bot was my first stab at something like you mean, but I do think there could be something to auto-post with all that data.

    And while not on the fediverse: I use hamspot for something like this. It flips the onus of posting a spot to actually listening FOR a spot from people you know around the fediverse.

    BUT if we want to let our ideas get REALLY wild with it: I could totally see a federated service for spotting or any *OTA related activity. Different instances handing different kinds of spots. Parks or summits or islands being different items that people can subscribe to, spot from, and activate. Just spit ballin'.

  • Spotting with the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • I could see a community used for spotting. Not sure how the browser extension part would work.

    I see people post a sorta self-spot on mastodon all the time. Something that might be nice is a mastodon bot that could read a certain hashtag or if it was @ed so everyone could follow the bot to see who is activating.
