Blimey, what a day!

Dear lord, I think it’s time to call in Malcom Tucker 🤣 youtu.be/QkJXioTetwQ?...

Also, keep an eye out for grey imports/JA spec kit if buying second hand too….

Ooo, Bank Holiday!

Nicely put. #WAFH might be our new tag for cool stuff

You can’t beat a good blue screen of death on a big advertising display 🤣

Wild gardens are great - just spotted this pair of Red-headed cardinal beetles #biodiversity #gardening #garden #wildlife

Sounds like lots of people on here need to go to FHN this year as the theme is “Discover the Sky: Amateur Radio meets Astronomy,” and on the Saturday there’s Astro trade fair! @clublog.org @m0kph.bsky.social @g0mfr.bsky.social Sadly I can’t go this year 🥲 #hamradio www.hamradio-friedrichshafen.com

Not long to go! 🌻🐞🐛🪲🪳🦋🐝

I don’t suppose anybody can help me identify the type of connector used in the SmallIR vertical - pictured in this page? consumer.steppir.com/shop/parts/e...

I finally have coax access through my wall. This has been something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. Thanks for mentioning the Roxtec cable entry stuff @rdavies6.bsky.social their kit is exactly what I’d been looking for. I now need to think about what sealing blocks I need to buy #hamradio

Brilliant, but this was the 1980s for me!! youtube.com/shorts/tg2Tl...

Bye bye AX25 www.theregister.com/2026/04/24/a...

Now do I start a fresh Linux install?

Brilliant! Strange fact, but one of the members of Deep Purple lives in the village here and recommended the excellent electrician I use 🤣

Brilliant! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What a glorious day! Popped over to Old Warden for lunch, which is also a POTA, and managed a few diddle mode contacts. Bumped into Rob, M0ZPU too! Must get back up to speed with CW as it’s more fun than FT modes.

Isn’t ham radio an amazing hobby. Where else do you find people smarter than you who have all the kit and skills to tweak your gear when you can’t.

That’ll do for now!

What a fantastic quote! From personal experience, it’s a shame the system doesn’t always appreciate this way of working!

Lovely, but breezy, afternoon. Nice to see the bluebells appearing.

YAY - first 🦔💩 of the year spotted in my garden. This is most excellent! #Hedgehogs #Wildlife

Nice! A candidate for a @g4bao.bsky.social award? 🏆

Artemis II is flying a very southern declination trajectory for most of the mission. Despite the extremely low elevation angles I received very useful data this morning. This was exactly the type of data I was hoping for to test new small dish cis-lunar tracking techniques.

So what’s going on here with respect to Artemis II? The mission is flying a northern hemisphere adverse trajectory. But as you can see from these early models it’s very dynamic. DSN activity schedule vs trajectory.

We have AOS from #Artemis II!

We are tracking #Artemis II with the historic Dwingeloo radio telescope. In the doppler shift of the carrier signal we see the manual manoevers that the astronauts perform while flying formation with the upper stage.

We're still tracking #Artemis II with the Dwingeloo radio telescope, with four very enthousiastic amateurs staying up all night in the control room. We just witnessed the Orion upper stage separation burn in our doppler tracking.

A nice burst of signal from GB3MHZ on 13cm thanks to some AS from a WizzAir A321!

We're watching the count down for the NASA Artemis launch this week! ARISS and AMSAT hams are among teams tracking the launch with NASA SCaN. Read about AREx and the mission in our ARISS.org blog.

Today’s task - find the 🤬 chuck key for my pillar drill 🤣

Finally beacon GB3LPS came on air this week. It's on 2320.935MHz from IO91FR. Thanks to the team for getting it installed and especially G8KPS who singlehandedly carried out all the "up-mast" work. Please take a listen and beacon spot if heard. #ghz_bands

‼️ HELP NEEDED ‼️ hi everyone, we are in need of some Grade 1 Hardcore so we can bed down our fire escape to make it safer and more accessible! If you or anyone you know can help with this please get in touch. Thank you!! 🙏

Anybody do bf anything exciting this weekend? #hamr

Lovely afternoon for a post work walk. These sunflowers look rather cool in black and white.

@wildlifebcn.org this type of behaviour is really pissing off local people. You no longer have my support.

It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week - celebrating different minds and challenging stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences #neurodiversity www.neurodiversityweek.com

This is great to see - nice one @icom-uk.bsky.social @chrisg1vdp.bsky.social @m1acb.bsky.social 👍

Coax repair using stuff I have to hand. Gobsmacked by the quality of this RG58 I’ve had for about 20 years - non-MIL spec too 🤣 #hamr

Love the way peeps are getting excited by numbers stations!

🤣🤣🤣 Love the bit about the laptop brand beginning with the letter L! (and yes, I use both fruit and the L brand for work!) youtu.be/XaDuorSRvGA?...
