WRTC leaderboard - worth a watch as the contest nears the end #hamradio worldradioleague.com/wrtc

I’m in awe of the WRTC ops - the realtime leaderboard is showing some amazing rates and QSO counts. Best I’ve achieved is ~3200 QSO during a last-minute attempt at CWWW SSB with M0NKR.

Some very serious discussion going on between @m1acb.bsky.social and M0VFC on the WRTC Youtube live stream 🤣

Gotta laugh! Years ago I bought 50m of unused coax…. Thought I’d measure 2 x 25m lengths for something…did that and found I have another 36m left 🤣

In awe at some of the WRTC QSO counts after 10 minutes!

Lots of very thirsty hedgehogs last night. It’s well worth leaving a bowl of water out at the moment to help wildlife.

I’m getting Boaty McBoatface vibes - this is gonna be quite something!

Any Clacton residents who want to nominate your friendly neighbourhood intergalactic space warrior, ping me a line!

Following on from our initial look at the ARM Evaluation System, we have gone further and wanted to share with you it running some test programs and graphic demos. See how much faster it can run! #ARM1 #bbcmicro #computinghistory #ARMEvaluationSystem

This is well worth a watch. Thank you @theguardian.com for raising awareness of young carers. www.theguardian.com/global/ng-in...

Had a fantastic day at the Shuttleworth Collection’s Festival of Flight airshow yesterday. One of the best airshows I’ve attended in a lovely setting. If you’ve never visited, you really should! Too busy enjoying the show to take photos! www.shuttleworth.org

Arrrrrrrrrrghhh - yet another opportunity to play spot the FT8 grumble in the latest RadCom

🫣Bonking hedgehogs 🦔🦔🥰🔥

Highly recommended and well worth the small cost 👍

First visitor of the evening - clearly enjoying the bowl of water! 🦔❤️

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

With all the talk of the storms and heatwave, here’s a link to the first IPCC Scientific Assessment, from back in 1990. #ClimateChange #weather www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/...

Yay - hammock time!

Well worth a read #MensHealth www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🦔❤️

This has been my earworm since watching the England match the other night. A classic! youtu.be/Re4aDJL3heA?...

Having flashbacks of Beowulf Linux clusters 🤣 www.theregister.com/on-prem/2026...

Lots of hedgehog activity last night, including this little one. I startled one that must have been hiding out near my door - it didn’t half shift when it saw me!

NEW ARRIVAL! Before the iPad, there was the Acorn NewsPAD (1996). Only two prototypes known to be still in existence, this rare prototype tablet was donated by its designer! While most 90s publishers dismissed digital news, Acorn saw the future. #RetroComputing #AcornComputers

My plan for today as much needed!

More (quite literally) enshitification 🤦

Just seen my first hummingbird hawk moth of the year in my garden 😍

I‘ve clearly been a trendsetter and ‘on trend’ with my big glasses, although have more work to do on the ‘hot professor’ side of things 🤣 Maybe it’s time for me to write my promotion case as @g4bao.bsky.social is keen to know another Professor 🤣 #HamSexy #Geography #Style

Just got home and spotted some hail in the garden - never seen ~1cm before @danholley.bsky.social

What were you saying about hedgehogs 🦔 and fleas @wgoodf.bsky.social 🤣 #hedgehog #wildlife

I got given a free Pi Pico2 when I bought a Pi4 last week. Looking for ideas for using it - initial thinking is some temp sensing etc. for a PA. Any ideas would be welcome as have loads for the W version!

Checking in on intrepid /P operator @m1geo.com after seeing this on fieldspotter yesterday! Are you still alive OM?

Near-stationary supercell thunderstorm over Swanton NE on Friday evening 🌩️

Too stylish for me 🤣 @chrisg1vdp.bsky.social

Great quote - thanks for reposting @g4bao.bsky.social Theres also no such thing as a stupid question or idea!

Well that was a nice thunderstorm ⛈️

Sorry for the politics, but living somewhere where the powers that be are planning to dump 40,000 new homes as a ‘new town’, this just makes me want to 🤮 even more.

My 11 year old nephew got hugely frustrated when trying this Raspberry Pi Foundation project, so I thought I'd work through it myself. Can you see the multiple issues? 🤦‍♂️ projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/...

Lots of hedgehog action, including this one, which must have a flea 🤣 @wgoodf.bsky.social #hedgehog #nomowmay #gardening #wildlife

This is just fantastic! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

YAY, it’s the weekend!

#NoMowMay and wildlife gardening is working 😍

Hedgehog In the garden ❤️

Thundery breakdown! Clouds building here

Will we see a ‘thundery breakdown’ later? 🤣

If you’ve never visited, the Shuttleworth Collection is a must visit, particularly for one of their airshows. It‘a real gem and a #hamradio Parks On The Air #POTA. Where else can you activate a POTA whilst watching Tiger Moths and a Spitfire flypast? They also do good cake 🍰 www.shuttleworth.org

Cor, Phew, what a scorcher ! A very enjoyable session of POTA activity at Old Warden today with @g7soz.bsky.social
