Amazing. I ordered a magnetic single paddle Morse code key from Ukraine (UR5CDX) and anxiously await its arrival here in Ohio. It left Ukraine--arguably a tough environment--in two days. Now bouncing between @USPS facilities in Dayton for two days. Frustrating.

Yes, they are! I finally managed to get my paddle (single version, not iambic) and it is very nice. I wish I could adjust both sides of the paddle to a really light pressure, but I can live with ~20 grams on each. (Right side adjusts to 10g, but left does not.)

If I knew we could make these with empty toilet paper rolls, I would never throw them away...

When people ask what's so interesting about making #CW contacts at first I don't even understand the question. You speak in a BINARY CODE to other people who UNDERSTANDS you. In a CENTURY-old completely DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM, for which you made all the equipment. What can be cooler?

Amateur or “ham” radio operators sometimes take their two-way radios to remote locations and talk to people around the world using battery power and portable antennas. Los Angeles Correspondent Mike O’Sullivan reports. Watch @VOANews:

IMHO the biggest advance is allowing the TQSL LoTW upload to overwrite QTH fields without having to create another location in TQSL. What an amazing convenience for those of us who operate lots POTA/Portable!
Great article about the contribution @ai6yrham made in saving a lost hiker. Wow! Thanks for helping this guy!

Direct Hit: An Earth-directed #solarstorm is coming! NASA prediction model shows impact early April 25. Coronagraph shows a full-halo (teal line) ring around the Sun confirming the storm is Earth directed. Expect amateur #radio & #GPS reception issues & #aurora to mid-latitudes!

Even when the #bands are dead, the amazing #POTA hunters and activators use some magic to make #QSO's! Thanks everyone for being on the air to catch me during my #roadtrip to Kansas this past weekend! #ParksOnTheAir #AmateurRadio #hamradio #hamr #HF #K8UA k8ua.com/2021/04/dont-let-th…
This is incredible! Sunspots, high solar flux index... great for HF propagation. This represents a great start to Sunspot Cycle 25!
May he RIP. I had a QSO with Cliff during one of my first park activations -- what an honor it was!
