And another thing: If you have mic fright, POTA IS FOR YOU!Seriously. Hunters and activators are the most polite, patient, and helpful operators I’ve come across. We’re all out there trying to make it work. Yes I will repeat myself. Yes I will slow down. Yes I will wait while you work your log on your lap sitting under a tree. I do, in fact, have all day for POTA.So key up! It’s fun!#POTA

Being the disillusioned GenX techie that I am, ham radio feels like digging deep to study The Olde Magick. The whole endeavor is for its own sake. There’s no money to be made here. It’s all for the love of The Problem. Whatever The Problem might be today. Deep thoughts, people.

Hey. So as major platforms start to fall apart, don't necessarily look for the next big one.Dust off your blog.Go back to establishing web-rings.RSS feeds. Remember those?This is the way to share good stuff. You don't need a centralized platform for that.As hams, we should know that.

HOT TAKE!!!As a new ContinuousWave QRP operator, I feel like 9 levels of signal strength is a bit much. I really feel like I have 3 levels: 9, 5, 1.9 - Gotcha! You're hot!5 - Little sketchy, but we're making it work.1 - Oof. Wow. Can barely believe I'm pulling this outta the noise!I know I'm doing it wrong, but 9 levels is more subtlety than I know what to do with!I mean, 7? 3? 8? What?#HamRadio #MorseCode

@nonlinear I'm usually operating portable at a park and QRP. If I get 5-ANYTHING I feel like a success. I'm usually waiting to see how far out people are. It's fun to check out the states that roll in. Maybe I'll get more sophisticated someday (kinda doubt it).

@alrs Dont' forget the +/- 5-7 days crowd.I've been making people sad with that since someone dropped it on me 30 years ago.
