I'm vacationing in Japan at the moment, visiting relatives. It is sweltering so we stay mostly indoors, but I have been a couple of trips to akihabara. Initially I only meant to buy a used ic-7100 this year, but then of course I also needed a new psu, so alinco was it. After a couple of days I realize that an brand spanking new ic-7300 was half price compared to home (provided I manage to avoid VAT coming home) so I bought one. And now I of course need a new antenna for all this fancy new equipment..... It snowballs.

I know I'll have to do mars mod on the radios. No trouble. That's easy.

Actually my main worry is my baggage allotment when flying back home.

This text messaging system over radio seems awesome for recreational and emergency communication.

Succinct intuitive introduction to antenna theory.

Throughout history, radio technologies haven’t just influenced how we consume news and entertainment. They’ve also played an essential role in the communication strategies of soldiers and military groups, particularly during wartime.

The 46th annual International Amateur Radio Exhibition, HAM RADIO, attracted more than 11,000 visitors to Friedrichshafen, Germany, June 23 - 25, 2023.

Take a VR tour of our campsite last weekend. We had tons of fun and made lots of contacts.

Was down for almost a month!

As of June 27, 2023, all systems have been reported to be working. However, visitors to the website will see a message referring them to Public Notice DA 23-529 for additional information and guidance on filing deadline extensions.

I have an FT-891 and I noticed I have to jack my mic gain way up to get any output on the radio. I am considering a Heil headset. I generally use apple ear pods to listen to the radio, so the experience might not be all that different. Anyway, I noticed there is an 2 different microphone offerings. Which one should I go with?

Was looking into trying some digital modes and even logging while mobile (POTA/SOTA) or just on the road. I’ve also heard people use android devices as well.

Most of the Federal Communications Commission’s online systems are back in service now, and the commission has issued further guidance regarding extensions of filing deadlines.
