I've been bummed about this very thing. Especially from established and trusted sources.

Technician's License in the bag. Was graded by the delightful radio group WM7X. Will get my callsign sometime next week, hopefully before my first HT arrives. πŸ“‘πŸ“»

I'm so excited for this! Going to see CR at Radio City Music Hall in October! Hoping to catch some new C4 info drops between now and then! ❀️❀️❀️❀️ Excellent stuff!

Everytime I hear the name Angelica in my brain I hear the Eliza refrain from Hamilton. Also, very cute pup ❀️

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Yeah, there are 3 classes of amateur radio licenses in the US. Technician, General, and Amateur Extra. Each have different privileges, mostly around which bands you're allowed to legally transmit on and require different tests that get more involved the higher the license.

6502 project has me inspired, next bit to learn is radio. Studying now (over the next few weeks) for the Technician's HAM license - then maybe some RC electronics. πŸ€“ πŸ“»

Got Wozmon up and running! 🍎 - with an assist from the beneater subreddit, where they found an issue with the schematic on the Max232 chip! Exciting. Going to experiment here for a bit then onto Basic!

Find it interesting that the Twitch web UI player bucks the norm in that you can resume by clicking anywhere on the screen (when in fullscreen or theatre mode), but in order to pause or re-pause you must find the small icon at the bottom of the player. πŸ€” I mean, space/k for play/pause on KB at least

Gonna start the #6502 UART module for a proper RS232 interface (so I can hook up Wozmon / Basic) this weekend.

Until then I'm starting to read some brain candy my brother recommended...the scholomance series for Naomi Novik (just a fun relaxing read hopefully):

So true! I have been pretty amazed at how information dense they are.

Hehe, thanks! The neatness was born out of frustration/necessity lol, though in hindsight each problem was only tangentially related to wiring (mostly from obstructing view of the control wires).

Gotta say, the more I work on this the more impressed I've become with Ben Eater's teaching, really does go through each section in such a thorough and complete way. If you're curious about electronics I think this is a great start:

#BE6502 no with RAM and a proper Hello, world! program! (also slightly cleaner wiring)

Reminds me of this talk I just ran into around reverse engineering the 6502. A motivator stated in the talk is emulator testing.
