More SSTV from space. My AOS predictions suggest late evening passes over London. This is an easy event to participate in: you need an HT on 145.8 Mhz and a phone with an SSTV app.

not sure people outside the UK will understand that :)

M0PWX @m0pwx.bsky.social · 3d

"now here it is merry @£$$ing XMAS"

yep, its either that or the miserable songs

turn the telly off, put a duff set of batteries in the remote and say to the other half, "sorry no spare batteries and the remotes dead, and all shops are shut" :)

M0PWX @m0pwx.bsky.social · 3d

is it me or are the bands pretty crap tonight?

very little on FT8/4 10m down to 40m :(

M0PWX @m0pwx.bsky.social · 8d

pot, kettle black?

having the national guard on the streets? and the proud boys off the leash dressed in ICE uniforms isn't civil war?

M0PWX @m0pwx.bsky.social · 8d

question is

how durable is the engraving? or does it need to be sealed with varnish etc?

M0PWX @m0pwx.bsky.social · 8d

don't give me ideas :)

i have two slate coasters on my desk and a laser cutter / engraver sat on the side :)

What we can do that #AI cannot do?

not take wild stabs at what we think an answer is, and make shit up
we can also add up reliably

M0PWX @m0pwx.bsky.social · 10d

if you are buying either now, the answer would be the X6200 as it resolves the biggest issue of battery due heat, as it has a removable battery

#3dPrint #Xiegu #x6100

so work in progress, i have finally got my 3d printer issues resolved and got a good print of my back panel for my Xiegu X61100

just got the wiring to do, and buy some batteries
looking at 3 cell RC car batteries and link in as 12v, that way i get 10w power in the field
