Isn’t it, I just don’t get the negativity, do what you enjoy and let others do the same.

Well TBH it’s been interesting 😁 luckily google explained how to grab the radio packages…and got em, some found some still working on..but it’s a rainy day and it’s got an old bit of tech repurposed

Graham G8NWC @g8nwc.bsky.social · Sep 14

Spent the day with an old Mac book air. And eventually managed to get a Linux thing working on it 😁 nothing made sense so a big learning curve…

Brilliant Jim, and exactly that, the buzz and excitement of achievement, it’s not always about QRO and huge antennas…

Brilliant Colin, hopefully get you in the log, I’ll keep an eye out…good luck

Graham G8NWC @g8nwc.bsky.social · Jul 28

I have one, a preloved version that came up at a very affordable price, great rig, small screen and buttons but manageable, ATU is fantastic, 20w, tad heavy for hiking with but guess your style would be local parks etc..it goes in car instead of KX3 now…

I admire your commitment to the 1 square 😁 enjoy, TBH I would struggle to

Graham G8NWC @g8nwc.bsky.social · Jul 20

It certainly is, clocked this a couple of years back and said it will be…and one of the take away from the show was the amount of younger people enjoying all, it felt a family hobby for some.

Graham G8NWC @g8nwc.bsky.social · Jul 18
