Dusty Yaesus, pondering full license (self.yaesu)

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I passed my intermediate a couple of years back. I loved both the foundation and intermediate training. Great teachers, interesting topics.

I've tried a few times to get on the air (mostly vhf due to lack of space), and every time without fail, the people on the other end are, well... not particularly welcoming, and on occasion quite rude to newbies.

I'm considering going for a full license, just because the learning is fun. But after that, I don't know if I'll ever make use of it.

Can anyone here recommend ways to use my intermediate (and eventually hopefully full) licence to communicate with people who aren't unkind?

I realise that not all operators are like this, I think I've just been unlucky.

yes they seem to be the main ones. All will just continue to grow. Basically any community searched for by any user on feddit.uk will show up. search works well.

if you look at browse.feddit.de that crawls all the instances and tries to list all communities accross the fediverse.

for some reson the local ones here do not show up yet. But hopefully @tom is looking into that. Joining the communities from other instances is supposed to be all it takes. then browse.feddit.de should search 4x a day.

seems the other community we both are members of. that has a few non feddit.uk users is taking time though?

ATM content wise. I just plan to post a few pics of my radios. I have 4 yaesus and one icom.

Getting more users with yaesus will automatically create more subject specifioc content.

Once that happens I may delete this and other non subject related satuff. But will note it a few weeks before doing so. Some content is better then 0 atm. And the fact we have discussed it will make it clear to new members what the plan is long term.
