I upgraded my amateur radio workstation today with a mixing desk and switchable medium-duty dummy load.

I can cover most of the frequencies within the HF spectrum, as well as the VHF and UHF ^,==,^

Someone on the 20 meter band, possibly from Finland, telling everyone to stay home >,==,>

Some #SSTV images that I received over #shortwave (frequency was 14230 kHz) yesterday. I started my 📻​ at a very active time ^,==,^

Where my #AmateurRadio friends at? ​

Development of #SmallWorldDeluxe is coming along nicely (link in thread)! We now have a splash screen to boot.

The program is a weak-signal #AmateurRadio communicator powered by low bit rate, digital voice codecs originally meant for telephony.

I have been working on this quite intensely for the past few weeks and on/off the past several months.

Documentation can be found at the link just below, including details on if you wish to help with testing.

This is the VHF/UHF antenna itself! With many thanks to @hiddensoul (#VK3PKT) for donating both it and the radio 📻 transceiver over to me, to keep indefinitely 📡​

I have to thank Ian (#VK3BUF) as well, who helped me install everything today regarding the aforementioned bands ^,==,^

My new #comms command center ^,==,^ Featuring a #Yaesu FT7900R for VHF/UHF and a FT-450D for shortwave.

I should be prepared for the oncoming apocalypse now, at least when concerning how many are being infected with the #CoronaVirus :(

Hello everyfur! I just wish to apologize for my absence the past few days, as I've been rather sick with a bug that's travelling the area.

My brother, for instance, has a lower lung infection 🤒​

Some good news though is that my #Yaesu FP-1030A 🔌​ has been repaired with the help of some close, local friends ^{,==,^}

These friends include @hiddensoul who I now owe even further favors towards :)

The other, dear friend would probably appreciate if I make a mention of his amateur radio organization, RASA.

#HamFurs #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #FurryHams

Just did some #SSTV before my brother woke up, since his notebook's power supply interferes heavily on the HF bands.

I was able to send out some pictures with the #VK3VKK callsign in that time and receive two back! ^,==,^

My #NewYearsResolution (which I've deliberately made to not be commercial in nature) is to attend more #AmateurRadio club meetups ^,==,^

Some curious interference tonight which makes for a pretty spectrograph, or at least it does so in my opinion. Now we just need some activity :P

#AmateurRadio #HamFurs #RadioFurs #JS8Call

I quite often wish that #JS8Call wasn't as dead as it is :( I really enjoy(ed) that mode and the sheer convenience it offers, but it only lasted a few months before everyone moved onto what seems to be, Greener pastures.

*sighs* Oh well...

@hiddensoul I don't understand a lick of #MorseCode, with it no longer being a requirement in the #AmateurRadio exams. Maybe you can give it a try? :)

#FamilyGuy #NSFW

@hiddensoul said that he'd help me test the THD (i.e. Total Harmonic Distortion) of my sound system sometime, which is just so cool to think of! ^,==,^

I forget the equipment that he mentioned which is involved, but admittedly, it is a bit beyond me with my electrical #engineering skills >,==,>;;

Most of what I've learned is through experimentation with #AmateurRadio and with creating little circuits in #KiCAD.

But yeah, this is something I'm looking forward to~!

So my renewal notice came today for my #AmateurRadio license and wow, look at that warning for operating equipment while unregistered. You've got to love that... pay up or there'll be dire consequences >,==,>

#FurryHams #FurryRadio #HamFurs

I'm very happy right now ^,==,^~ After about a week of work, I now have a test signal sending to the audio device of your choosing.

This is all to do with my Amateur Radio project, "Dekoder for Morse". You can check it out at the link below!

Something major went wrong here XD

#Docker #GitLab #FurryRadio #FurryHams #AmateurRadio

Nothing relaxes me more than hearing the static of my #shortwave transceiver~

#HamFurs #AmateurRadio #FurryHams

There's been nothing but poor #AmateurRadio conditions for us #RadioFur's as of late :/

I really want to get talking with others via DX again...
