There’s a rumor floating around that someone heard a Night Owl operating for the first time in almost a year on that last Tevel-2 AMSAT pass.

Free 2m radio offered to the club shack? Sure. Powerpoles ALL the things! Need to do the internal battery conversion because it won’t hold memories. But still a great score nonetheless.

Got the W8S expedition operating split on 10m with this new-to-me ICOM. I love all my other past radios but this one is epic good. 100 watts and a really janky wire.

Found my QSO with W8S yesterday on this recorded livestream. Wild to me how I can hear myself at 7:47 and then again at 8:00, and then when he calls for me specifically and people actually give me room, I'm so much louder. SSB on 10m on ~50W is wild. youtube.com/watch?v=xON8Np…

Not getting much of a null from this loop. I assume this is correct as purchased. The wire core floats inside the gap between the shielding and the wire shield is soldered to the loop/shield. Seems to attenuate nothing. Strong receive in all directions. Whomp whomp. Need a lesson

LONG time Baylor fan. Waco born-and-raised. Current University employee. Never thought I'd see the day but I wholeheartedly embrace Gary Patterson coming here to put in work. I'm 110% here for the chaos. Been smiling all day. This is so crazy it might just work!

Just saw a license plate that was H00TEN which leads me to believe somewhere out there is a H0LLERN. My sincere hope is that they share a garage.

Get out there and POTA on. Texas needs WAY more options tho. LOVE the rapid G90+Buddistick setup. Light fast and dirty. Good enough for the girls I go with.
