Apple Meshtastic client issue about it sending telemetry home without consent has been deleted. This is highly suspicious and I wouldn't trust the app anymore. Maybe it's time to fork it and clean out all the tracking.

Meshtastic iOS app breaks EU law with sending lots of telemetry (logs, usage) to DataDog in US wthout user consent and without any kind of notification of the app doing so.

I reported this as issue and it got immediately closed without any explanation […]

Related to DigiPi, watch this video - really uplifting and inspiring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq5SQnEXurM

I've been testing out DigiPi - a distro for Raspberry Pi which packs bunch of HAM software into nice web-usable form.

The core thing in this project is quite grand: bring all these tools to one providing kinda "single tool" for all digital modes in easy way […]

I have 8 meshtastic devices now. One on order. What the earth has happened?

This is actually more fun than I thought. Social circles (meeting new people), hiding nodes in the trees, checking how our network is growing..

This is not about sending text messages at all! It's the everything else […]

This is second time the WSPR skip distances peak just at same time/before the solar storm hits earth's ionosphere.

I know these antennas are stupid and bad. I know I romantize the moment when I can just be like wannabe-KH1 & AX1.

.. but should I still get one? Only the dissapointed, yet again, for a compromise antenna?

Out city (Tampere) Meshtastic network has grown exponentially.

One rogue solar node was deployed today which opened the network quite a lot!

It's such fun to be part of this socially active and growing project!

It always feels very nice when DX station sends HEI (or HEJ) in CW to me (HEI means "bye" in Finnish). Just hunted LZ2AF/P and I got HEI back!

Some stations even say "MORO MORO" on SSB at the end (because of OH3FSR our crazy activator who uses that always at the end of QSO).

Small things […]

Today I used my CEPT license for the first time and was allowed to activate the Vadehavet National Park
DK-0101 and OZFF-0004 as OZ/DK4MJ. There was a lot of activity on 20m and I managed 47 QSOs and thus also the activation in the WWFF program. I sometimes […]

Yay! My web888 can see sun farts! :)

Both FT8 and WSPR receiving went down on last night KP5+ geomagnetic activity.

Life isn't too short for QRP.

Today I went for 10W WWFF activation which turned into 5W activation as I forgot the battery lead home for my IC-705.

Of course I could have thrown a tantrum but I just laughed and thought "well this is going to be now different" (changes are good for humans)

I […]

It feels like catching a surf wave when 6m Es opens and I can make multiple CW QSOs. 5 to central Europe on 50091. Also multiple CW skimmers spotted me too, nice!
