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

#UnitarianUniversalist - Respecter of the living web & justice is for everyone.

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.

Swearing

Older rap lyrics are funny now.

"That's eighty-thousand bucks gone
Where in the fuck did you spend it?"

Groceries mother fucker!

Feeling like a master negotiator tonight.

9yo didn't want to take a bath. I wanted them to take a bath.

We bartered back and forth, and ended up at "Just towling off, but with soap on the washcloth, while sitting in a tub of water"

Welp. I have doomed my computer to crash. I finally got around to requesting a new LOTW cert, which seems to always predate me getting a whole new shack computer by only a few days.

Fedi #Artists:
I have a gift idea for my spouse. I'm looking for someone who does commissions in water color/pastel/ink/ really any "physical" medium.

Spouse has this 'character' that they bring up, and I'd like to find someone with a bit of whimsy and sass in their style, to bring it to life.

I'm browsing some the art instances to see if something or someone jumps out at me, but if you are, or know someone that sounds like a fit I'd love some links to their info/examples of their work

Replaced my iPhone a few months back now, with a several year old refurbed android phone. (The reason I even had an iPhone to begin with is a story for another day)

Anyway, the thing I love most about the switch is having an actual headphone jack again.

The trend towards everything wireless is fine I guess, but for me I'd rather have simple earbuds, on a wire, instead of having yet another device to remember to keep charged, or to have die in the middle of using it, etc.

Wireless != Better

Thank you to all our operators and participants in CQ SALK, Polio on the Air 2025, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the approval of the Salk polio vaccine! We made 1,576 contacts over the two week period, and 7 stations contacted all five of W7P, W7O, W7L, W7I, and W0O (three on HF, four on Echolink/Allstar)! Remember to keep spreading the good news: vaccines work, they're safe, and objective reality exists! https://nars.narwhal.be/polio
