I mounted my Arrow Antenna to a tripod and use the ISS Detector app to tell me what time the satellite passes, elevation, and aim and follow as it passes.

Hello ArticSat1! Thanks for the photo! Received this morning with my Arrow Antenna, Tidradio H8, and Robot36 android app. Trying to collect all their octopus images. #hamradio #amateurradio #amsat

A big week for me in ham. I got a hermes lite and amp through my club and did my first power poles on every device to connect it to a power strip. I ran an end fed gutter antenna and they helped get my software up and tour the bands, voice and FT8. My little station is looking good! #ham #hamradio

Been having fun with my new Anytone! Sending some APRS messages, getting the hang of spotting satellites (birds) to extend transmission range. Already have a fresh project I want to try with it! #hamradio #theoutpost

Went full creepy this year! I usually add smoke and eerie sounds on Halloween night. Both the dog, screaming girl in window a d girl in swing (unseen benind pumpkin head) are all animated. #halloween

Took some finagling with modem and configs all night, but finally got my DMR hotspot going. Raspberry Pi4 + MMDVM dual hat. #hamradio #dmr

This little goblin completed: sit, come, stay, take it, and leave it. She's has a lot of energy but is actually very willing to train! #pug #pugs

When you realize having a pug means you'll never nap alone. #pug #isitdinnertimeyet

The ladies have been giving plenty of gifts. And the backyard greens from my small garden are coming together! Arugula, swiss chard and egg from backyard!

It's been some work getting things set up and finding a good routine, but the ladies have settled and given me my first egg!

Made some Hotel Quailfornia upgrades this weekend with painted wire, water pipes, new bedding and decor.

My new quail hotel has arrived. Nice to sit out in the evening and watch them tuck in for the night. #urbanhomesteading #quail

Yesterday was a big mushroom day. Most excited to see how the pioppino will do in a water bottle. #mushrooms #fungifriends

Trying some hydroponic microgreens for myself and the quails. Let's see how it goes. #theoutpost

Quail update. Due to them stepping in and dropping water, I've done a plumbing upgrade. Also added a shoe box feeder to prevent them from throwing the food everywhere. #quail #theoutpost #urbanhomestead

My first flock of quails has arrived! #quail #theoutpost

So, after months of debating, I did it. I got a flock of quails. I've modified a rabbit hutch until I can have one built for me. The flock is supposed to arrive today! #quail #theoutpost
