FTHate is running strong in the 13col special event FB group by an admin. Don't like a mode... Fine. Don't use it. But don't take your dislike out on others that are enjoying it. Plenty of room. (Guess the page is unofficial but has 2k members). #amateurradio #hamr #hamradio

#QMX #QDX peeps. I'm having an issue with the QMX and transmitting on digimodes like FT8. I can RX without issue and even TX. However, the tone coming out doesn't like FT8 at all. It sounds like it's TXing just a single tone. Any ideas? #hamr #amateurradio #HamRadio

N1A (2A/B QRP WMA) is ready for #ARRLFD. New feature this year is a VHF station. Look out for us on the bands. #AmateurRadio #hamradio #hamr #arrlfieldday

#ARRLFD antennas are up! N1A will be on the air this weekend. Keep an ear out because you’ll need to as we’ll be QRP. #hamr #AmateurRadio

#QMX build complete. Wasn't getting RX at first. Ended up rewinding T507 (near the BNC jack) and thankfully started receiving signals. Was also able to get out. #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio

Looking forward to #ARRLFD this weekend. I've participated in every FD since 1995. It's what got me hooked into #amateurradio and contesting. I'll be on as N1A from WMA (private FD w/ friends). Last year's setup imgur.com/a/dRg5q0v which will be similar #hamr #hamradio

Another hobby I got into somewhat recently. “Cheap but good” watches.

Got the #QMX working. Heart almost skipped a beat when powering it on to see the screen wasn't working. Should have read the details about loading the firmware to get it fully working. I haven't put it on the air yet. Just dummy load. #amateurradio #hamr #hamradio

#QMX build done for the day. Looks like the next few steps are winding toroids which will require me to be much calmer. #hamradio #amateurradio #hamr

#QMX assy manual is out. Just notice my board has an extra "border" that wasn't trimmed during production. You'll see it on the left side of this photo. #hamradio #amateurradio #hamr

Anyone know who won the SWODXA VP5M raffle @ #hamvention? I highly doubt it was me. #hamradio #hamr #amateurradio

Eclipsing all the big manufacturers this is probably the most interesting and value for money 💰item at #hamvention #Hamvention2023 #hamradio #AmateurRadio #Hamfest by some margin. Yet no youtubers so far with Hans. Image © @qrplabs #QMX

I finally got around to publishing my article on my "low cost" 2X6 network controlled antenna switch. Going to start updating my website more often. Well... I'm hoping to. nt1k.com/automated-antenna-s… #hamradio #hamr #AmateurRadio

Got my hands on a "new" beam. Force 12 C-3E. It needs some TLC such as a balun and replacement tip on one element. Not bad considering the price (and 4hr drive). Hopefully this will replace my broken CL-33 #hamradio #hamr #AmateurRadio
