Last Notes npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I'm playing around with the RepeaterBook app Bluetooth connect feature and my TH-D75. It's pretty sweet! Just tap on a repeater in the app to send it to the radio VFO A. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Roasted some #coffee today for the first time in a while. Now I smell like coffee beans ☕ npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Next project in the shack: clean up a pile of old random micro sd cards. Most are still good I just need to sort, examine, and format. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…k95v right now I have my electrical tools in a tool bag, because that is easy to take on fires. But most of my radio and electronics stuff is scattered about on the workbench and in different cabinets and toolboxes. It would be nice to have it organized in one place, and these modular solutions looks interesting. But the Packout system is $$$ npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Any of my fellow #hamradio folks using a rolling toolbox solution (e.g., Milwaukee Packout, Rigid Pro Gear, etc) to keep their radio and electronics repair stuff organized? npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Just saw the June cover of #QST. Once again it does not represent the amateur community at all. A bunch of old white dudes and maybe one older white woman? npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Do you live in #Colorado? Are you interested in cool stuff? Check out our local #mesh #networking group! npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…nlha yeah thanks. I'm in the same place that author was, asking myself if I should even replace them as I'm usually on an external battery. Looks like I could do it for about $30, so that's not bad. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Has anyone that uses a #Xiegu #X6100 replaced the internal batteries? Mine is way out of warranty and the batteries don't hold much of a charge. I think it should be a pretty straitforward job. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I watched a YouTube video today and the end of which the videographer said "don't worry about liking or subscribing." How refreshing. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot The #meshcore network here in Denver-Boulder-Ft Collins #Colorado is really taking off. It is amazing how fast it is being built out. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Interesting that #NewZealand is engaged in a big campaign to recruit #k12 #teachers from the US right now. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…kk6y FYI- it looks like Winlink messages to N9DRB are undeliverable. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I went on a #radio_run today and carried 3 #LoRa devices: 1) a 433 MHz T-Deck for LoRa #APRS 2) a T1000e for #meshtastic 3) a Muzi Works H2T for #meshcore npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot So, Department of Energy is piloting the use of Grok at Lawrence Livermore National Lab (per a policy alert announcement from #AAAS) . npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I do my laundry on Mondays since I work from home that day and it leaves the washing machine open for my family on the weekends. I'm drying my clothes on the line outside today, February 9th. It's 70° F. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…kk6y yikes that is cold! npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Power is out at our home in Louisville #COwx And it was unplanned. Winds really picked up in the past 45 minutes. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…r3k9 💯 there was a SOTA activator above town that I was listening for on .52, but heard nothing. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Monitoring some #hamradio while I'm waiting in the parking lot to pick up my daughter from clarinet lessons. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I'm thinking I should recycle this pile of old paper academic posters for conferences. But for some reason I'm having trouble parting with them. And there are other piles in other corners of the office lol npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…2uwx it is 💯 legit. It has essentially no seating, and it shares the building with a gas station and a liquor store. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot We have an incredible hole in the wall taco place near our girls' high school in Lafayette #Colorado - Tacos Ay Ay Ay. The flavors are amazing and it's cheap. My wife and I love any excuse to couple an evening trip to school with takeout from them. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Landed in DEN, tired, coming up on a 20 hour day, and my Lyft driver is blasting EDM.😭 npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I received 8 stations on tonight's #ISS pass and also got digipeated from *inside the house* on the stock antenna of my TH-D75A. This is a lot of fun. It was raining so I decided not to go outside 😁 npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I came across theblog of KM1NDY this morning (via Amateur Radio Weekly) and read this nice post about #hamsci I particularly love the journal article write-up! npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Please read this and share widely, folks. We are losing an incredible service to democracy. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot I recently acquired a used Kenwood TH-D75A. #APRS reception and decode on this radio is way, way better than on my Yaesu FT-5DR. I expected this based on my past comparisons between Yaesu and Kenwood APRS capable radios. The difference is night and day. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot #NWS Boulder posted this on FB. Looks like #Skywarn suppory is being pulled back. I wonder if conservative #hamradio folks will be able to connect the dots on this one npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…07t5 Yes I'm pretty thankful for being up and about and employed. I've been in a hospital bed for extended periods before and it's no good. Take care 🙏 npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Not gonna lie, today was a *very* rough day at work. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…2uwx wow. Ouch. Stay warm! npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot VarAC 20m today. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Anyone out there ever convert an old ATX power supply to a bench power supply? I've read a couple of articles about this and wonder if it is worth doing. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Beautiful day for a ride on the new to me Jake the Snake I found on Craigslist. Lots of fun. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Holy mackerel, #Melbourne and #victoria. Stay safe in this crazy heat! npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @nprofile…92y4 @nprofile…evet it seems like getting everyone fed during IA and even the first operational period is always a challenge. That's why everyone has a case of MREs in their rig npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot This looks like an entertaining study. Sometimes hypothesis testing is so fun. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot Next up: Resource order for Beavers. But in all seriousness, this is interesting. npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot @npub1u76…qmwm what radio are you using for digital modes like FT8 on V/U? npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot #[0] oh yeah...I remember that for sure npub1xcu0k0xq4058h5l43ulfa6vglh6xhfmrnppurxwqfwqw30jj44ksxgeqj6 Bud Talbot #[0] I guess this was to be expected sooner rather than later. There is money to be made!
