Ham radio op N3VEM. Into HF mostly, but also run a repeater, and dabble with rockets a little bit as a cross-over hobby.

Ask me why I don’t own a microwave.

I have a day job, but it's not what defines me - I'd rather talk about #HamRadio, #ModelRockets, #SocialJustice, #Electronics, #DIY, #Making or anything else you are passionate about.

Might swear a little when angry. Sorry.

I don't know if it's solar cycles, the approaching full moon or what, but my energy level today is zilch, and I can't really think why.

Sleeping out in the tent in the back yard again tonight because 3 and 6 wanted too. I'm sitting by the fire, and watching the string of solar lights on the back fence flicker on and off because the flame from the campfire is in front of the sensor😀

My 3 year old just made their first radio contact 🥳. There are a couple teenage girls doing a POTA activation together, so they made the contact with them. It's also nice for the tinies to hear and talk to "big girls" on the radio👍

Tangential thought to my post a few minutes ago on hunting down an RF noise in my house.

I wonder if the 5G nuts realize that their phone is probably nothing compared to the amount of RF they're being blasted with by stuff like their washing machines and dishwashers?

*You* and I know about different frequencies and different safety exposure levels etc, but that crowd would probably crap their pants if you told them their fancy touch lamp was radiating more than their phone could ever hope to.

Latest adventure in noise chasing..

I had a periodic noise on 40m. It was centered above 40, but took out most of the band when it was there.

Today was the first time the noise was present when the family wasn't so that I could shut down breakers to do the process of elimination thing. Turns out that it was coming from inside the house...
