It's a small victory but I just got the last confirmed contact I needed for the Worked All States CW award! I started learning morse code almost 2 years ago and never thought I would hit this milestone, but it's such a fun mode. Dit Dit!

Most of the good ISS passes have been very late at night for me, but I was able to catch this image in the morning. These SSTV events have been a great benchmark on what I need to improve with my antenna system for future satellite attempts. #hamradio

NASA's Parker Solar Probe will make history during a flight around the Sun on Christmas Eve. "No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star, so Parker will truly be returning data from uncharted territory."

Two very photogenic eruptions of plasma from the eastern edge of the Sun this morning! Neither are Earth-directed. (Observations from the GOES/SUVI instrument). #spaceweather

The directory for Deep Space Nine's promenade, one of those details that was lost in the SD broadcast but recreated for the Roddenberry Archive. Lots of in-jokes and pop-culture references.

I'll never stop being amazed at talking across the country with a small QRP radio using only a few watts. #hamradio

I have seen some folks in the #hamradio community ask for fellow hams to add their call to their profile for us to more easily find each other. While I appreciate the motivation behind this I won't be doing so for now. I'm a trans woman and my call puts out just a tad too much info about me.

Cascadia Radio honors #TransDayofRemembrance . Inclusivity is core to the Cascadia Radio mission. We wish to make clear our support for the trans community. We welcome all who would be tolerant and remember those whom intolerance has targeted.

It wasn't the greatest reception, but I was able to grab the latest SSTV Image from the International Space Station. Antenna is a jpole sitting in my attic. #hamradio

My first post on Bluesky. Solar activity on the Earth facing side of the Sun has been for the most part uneventful the past several days. Higher activity may be on the horizon however with a potential active region approaching the east limb. Full update via SolarHam.com
