🇨🇦 New to amateur radio. Learning to wield the dits and dashes. Something bright, and clever, and endearing/funny will be added here when I come up with it.
Until then, just say no to slop, and clankers.

Good luck to Crew-12 on their planned launch tomorrow!
When they get on station, the Columbus module will triple the number of hams on station - with Adenot and Hathaway joining Chris Williams.

Stumbled onto a local air traffic tower channel for one of our smaller airports while trying to get used to my handheld, and what a nerdy fun way to practice your NATO phonetic alphabet skills. 😄🤓 (Don’t stress, I’m only listening. I wouldn’t dare do anything but listen.)

Well, I was today years old when I learnt AWG on wires actually stood for ‘American Wire Gauge’, and not ‘Assigned Wire Gauge’. Huh.

If you’re self studying for your ham license, and struggling to fit the pieces together, I can’t recommend taking classes w/other hams enough. There are online courses available if you’re remote, or have mobility challenges, which at least give you the chance to bounce your questions off real ppl.❤️📻

In case anyone is popping by wondering why a ham radio operator is just reposting ham food pics - I do also post a letter each day-ish to help learn Morse code and the NATO phonetic alphabet, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to keep that thread up higher, without pinning it.😆😅

This week's lunch special: Club Burger.
3 slices of bread, 2 burger patties on bottom. On top is the club sandwich. Turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, roasted garlic aioli, and Swiss cheese
For when one sandwich isn't enough 🥴
