Ok folks, I am not on this app to feed my ego and really have no opinion on your decision to follow me or not. I am on here to promote my hobbies from curing and smoking meats and sausage, cooking and ham radio. I will be posting about politics as well as long as politicians disgust me.
I intentionally have my beam rotator have a range from about 120 degrees to 240 degrees I don't want a tariff applied to my signal south of the border.

Helped demonstrate amateur radio to some navy Cadets at HMCS Unicorn last night. The cadets had a great time tonight learning about ham radios from the Saskatoon and District Amateur Radio Association. I was the HF operator and contacts were made from Colorado, Washington State, and California!

I'm 63 with shaky hands and gave up soldering many years ago. Our club with my help gave out a few code oscillator kits and I found an extra one in a junk box. After a shaky start and help from my third hand base. I managed to make one that works.

Charlie Kirk died in a way he supported at least there is that. 🙄Acceptance of some gun deaths: At a 2023 event he argued, "It's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights".
