I wondered about that other one too. I did look on their log and found myself twice, so it was a good one. 👍🏻
I got them twice. 12m and 40m. I'm trying to work them on some other HF bands. If not, twice is a pretty good score!
Horrible. I did notice when he was walking he would pat his leg with his hand. Same way he always pats AF1 door when he enters. I almost expected him to YMCA dance. Such a waste of oxygen.
Pirate station or wrong grid square? Not the right polar area!
Almost got them on 15m. I'm a bad fisherman, they fell off the hook!
Give them a day or so and check their log. I think some got logged, maybe didn't hear the 73. www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsear...

Boom! Got the tiny Bouvet island again. This time worked them on 40 meters along with a big pileup of others. Amazing what 25 watts can do. 😀
I may have gotten lucky. Seems that they just got on 12m when I got them. A few, others then the pile up.
#3Y0K #dxpedition #hamradio #digitalradio
Got them!
Worked 3Y0K on 12m. I think they must have just turn on 12m since it was fairly quiet at first and I was heard. The pileup happened shortly after. Now to try working them on other bands.
Yep. Just a new job and keeps her paycheck. Probably lose the 5 mile high club access.
Wow....I don't think she knows she's been fired. She's giving a speech in Nashville. Hoping someone asks about her firing! 😆
#FT2 #digitalradio #hamradio
FT2 is running pretty well. Just on the couch with morning coffee worked a bunch of Europe and even Falkland islands. Still listening for 3Y0K on Bouvet Island, haven't heard them yet. Just the pileup!
Indian Ocean?! WTF?
Linux all the way. Currently use Mint on my main computers, but running Xubuntu on my ham radio computer. 5 Raspberry Pis also with different SDRs and stuff.
Thanks! Even better when I exchange a 73 back and forth with that tiny island. I'll keep watching for them. 😀
#hamradio #ft8 #3y0k #dxpedition
Trying to work the most remote radio station on the planet. I heard them, but still working out where to transmit and make the contact. 8,600 miles away on Bouvet Island.
That's it. Just make sure you install the latest version. The 3.1.0 version has the FT2 setup. I think they are still updating it, but the version I installed (on a regular Linux PC, not a Pi) works well.
Have you tried the new FT2 mode? I got it working with the newer 3.1.0 version of WSJTX. It works well so far and it is fast! Shows as MFSK so far in QRZ.
He's such a FUCKING idiot. 4 killed, war started across the middle east, 3 jets shot down by friendly fire....and he comments on his stupid gold curtains and ballroom?!? Someone put us out of our misery.
Amazingly fast after using FT8 and FT4. Happy with the DX capabilities too. Fun to have another way to send RF around the planet. I just ignore the 'sad hams' who complain! 😀
#ft2 #digitalradio #hamradio #wsjtx
I got the newly updated WSJTX 3.1.0 working with FT2. Sure is fast and so far has been working pretty well. Even with the weaker signals, I get across to Europe pretty well. Shows up as MFSK in QRZ log but FT2 in HamClock.
If the UK can bust 2 pedos, it's really a shame that the US refuses to do the right thing. Trump must have raped many if he's covering this up so much.
Vote BLUE in November!
Got it installed. I've been able to receive but transmit not working yet. WSJTX works fine, but the FT2 version not transmitting with my 7300. Still tinkering to get it working!

Photo from 9 years ago showed up. A typical Monday shipment of Ebay sales. Hoping to get back to success like this when back in WA later this year. Times have changed as we all know.
I'd be awake until after midnight. 😀

Seriously worried if I should give up and sell my telescopes and cameras. This is unacceptable, and tragic. 🙁
#AI #computers #memoryprice #datacenter
I miss building my own custom computers. I'd like to build a good one for graphics processing and maybe some games. Sadly that won't happen with price of memory.
Thanks to Bezos and Musk hoarding memory for AI data centers. 🙁

I know the feeling. 🙁
Nice job Scott! We are counting the days until mid-May when we escape from the frozen hell of Wisconsin back 'home' to WA. The major stress of this will be minimized a bit once we turn in the U-Haul truck in Western WA.
