You should check out Ham Radio Crash Cpurse on YouTube. Lots of great info there.

Yeah I was on Kbin but got tired of the UI. Plus there are no apps for it.

We have a similar one here in the US. People think if you go outside when it’s too cold, you’ll get sick.

They’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.

Isn’t it maintained again?

Most activity, I’ve seen here: [email protected] but there’s a lemmy bug that’s not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.

These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

They are fine for starting out with, but you’ll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.

Ham radio! It’s relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.

Lol yeah I thought that was cool.

Side note, are you a C developer?

Yep!

I put on ska on easy days sometimes. Today I listened to Supernothing by Streetlight Manifesto like 3 times.

Ooh. Recipe?

It’s near enough the big city that I can go do fun things when I want, but it’s quiet here and not a lot of traffic.

I do it any time I need to do a stealthy pee or if things are hard if you catch my drift

For example, I tried to recreate the Powerlifting community here and it’s completely dead lol. It’s just me posting a couple times per week hoping someone else joins me. There are around 50 subscribers but they only upvote my posts.
