Well, after almost 12 months of deliberation the end fed antenna is finally up, brought about by a respite from the windy or wet days. First impression is its working ok, which is more than can be said of my back lol. #amateurradio #antenna #endfed

Is anyone taking bets on when the Mediocrity machine (AI) bubble will burst....

Its a tad chilly here in southern Espana.... 4C and a frost on the car...

Spent a very wet afternoon in the shack, trying to figure why the Quansheng wouldnt take new firmware. Faulty cable confirmed by trying it on the Retevis HH, same interface. New cable to be ordered soon... #amateurradio #Quansheng

Defo feeling better after that nasty cold. Been doing jobs outside in the glorious sunshine, still getting out of breath but fitter than this time last week. Forecast here is for a rainy weekend and early next week, so, planning to catch up on the outstanding jobs in the shack... #amateurradio

Is there some kind of competition going on in Spain with manufacturers to create the most devisive and imposible opening for their products ? #tamperproofpacking

Does anybody still do old school amateur radio ? You know what I mean, a desk with a rig, a microphone and/or key and no damn computer in sight..... #oldschool #amateurradio

New handheld antennas, Baofeng and Nagoya

A spectacular thunderstorm last night for almost 2 hours, but little rain... #thunderstorm

My Quansheng handheld arrived yesterday, all charged up ready to have a play with the stock software, then update it to RX sideband. Not expecting to hear much at the home QTH, but hopefully on the hills... #Quansheng

Good morning I was wondering if any radio guys or gals had bought ferrites from Ali Excess ? Im thinking the sort for ununs or common mode chokes. If so are they any damn good ? Also clip on ferrites ? #amateurradio

I would like to wish everyone a happy new year. May you be happy and healthy in 2025... #newyear

Feliz Navidad a todos y cada uno Merry Christmas to one and all
