#birdPhotogaphy #birdOfTheDay Just whizzed the mower round the garden (yes it is a jungle) A few minutes in I had a shadow checking if I had uncovered any juicy bits for him Not timid at all so long as I didn't point the mower at him he stayed 3-4 feet behind or to side of me

#ariss @ARISS_Intl@mastodon.hams.social i have heard some APRS on 70cm but it don't appear to be sending GPS co-ordinates

#QRP #FT8 wow, i forgot to up the power from 1w (had been running WSPR) to 20w and still managed to get a QSO with a US station :) :)

the sun looks a bit more active than usual, may be a bit of aurora in a day or so

#USA250 #QRZ #Award just seen a new award added to QRZ awards USA250 looks like you need 250 US confirmed QSO's, not sure of the time scale

#FT8 #QRP #XieguG90 not a bad haul on 80m & 60m tonight with my little G90, running about 15w only

#wx #weather temps climbing nicely, no clouds ,and pressure rising, hopefully a nice day strange glowing orb in the sky racking distant memory, think its called the sun???

#birdOfTheDay #birdPhotogaphy blackbird having breakfast under my feeders, like the food i put down and some of the dropsies from the feeders above not seen him for a while, but good to see him back, the blackbirds did nest and i think raised some chicks in a bramble bush in my garden last year

not doing bad 15-18w FT8 into homebrew fan dipole with G90 :)

#ice #minneapolis i knew AI would be good for something recon a t-shirt along the lines of below would be a great one for those anti ICE protests in the US i am sure someone could do a better job but you get the idea :) there are some good caricatures of ICE agents out there and toddler trump

my robin having breakfast today at my feeders

#arduino #esp32 #wx #weather so the new temp/humidity sensor is working well on my homebrew weather station (AHT20 replaced with a SHT45) the SHT45 sensor has a builtin heater so i can dry the sensor element so it don't drift just needs a 0.1s low heat each cycle if the humidity is above 90%,

#arduino #arduinoQ so new toys (arduino Q 2GB version) arrived tonight had a play, it does take a while to install the updated image to the Q, then patch the image with the latest linux update, then it seems to update the applab app as well eventually got the cloud LED switch example working

#wx #weather its due to get damn cold here in JO01 for the next week or so, the sky might even have a bit of dandruff with white flakes falling out the sky got several days where overnight actual -1 deg C but feels like -8 deg C BBRRrrrrrr!!!!
