I’ll share some more photos soon, but… it’s been a thoroughly fun and eventful week!

Playdate has a Gameboy emulator called Playboy. 😆 github.com/adamsouta… #SFW

Here’s an idea: We are all human beings and we should all be able to peacefully share this planet together without fucking each other up. Why don’t we give that a try?

One of my backburner projects has been partly fulfilled. That was to have a simple weather base station outside of the house that takes local readings (temp & humidity). It sends its data via RF to a clock. I intercept that signal and decode it. Less reliance on internet weather data is better!

Visited PSRG’s Rain or Shine noon net meetup at the Museum of Flight today. Was fun to finally meet in person with a bunch of the fine folks that I’ve listened to for years on the radio! What a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Did my check-in today standing right next to net control. 😆

It may be possible to see more auroras tonight as the night goes on, but it’s already way too late for me. Time for bed! 📸
-
KP index is 6.67 right now. Probably a good chance of seeing an aurora tonight!

The CW trainer I ordered arrived today. I’ve been waiting to be able to use my key for a week! Video: youtu.be/X8vwP45Bq…

Don’t buy a Baofeng UV-5R. Get a Quansheng UV-K6 and put EGZUMER on it. You’ll be so much happier. What a fun radio to take on the go! I checked into PSRG’s noon net from the waterfront today with this stealth Nagoya NA-810 antenna. I’m told I was heard loud and clear.

Launched almost 50 years ago, and operating at distances unprecedented in human history, it’s amazing that we are still able to interact with the Voyager probes and obtain useful information from them. www.npr.org/2025/05/2…

Been sick for most of the week. If I’m feeling better by the end of tomorrow, maybe I’ll get a normal-sized weekend? 🤞

Got the HF antenna working tonight! How cool is that?
-
This ham radio thing is fun! My VHF antenna is literally propped against my office door right now, but it works! Three PSRG repeater nodes picked me up full strength, and one more in Lake Forest Park partially did. Crazy! Had a few QSOs, but haven’t done a simplex QSO yet. That’s a rite of passage.
-
I’m pulling in 3/4 of a gigabit today over WiFi on my iPhone. I’m just trying to picture how I’d have explained this to myself in 1999 where all I had was a 33.6 dialup modem. 🤯
-
Just did a quick signal check. With my 5-watt Baofeng UV-R5, I do get picked up by the PSRG repeaters. So that’s something! I was worried I wasn’t going to see anything at all from here in Leschi.
-
As of this morning, I’m officially a ham radio operator! KM7AOT monitoring.

Went to the Rick Steves rally today in my hometown. It was great fun – and saw some familiar faces there! ✊

It’s not over until these people are out of power.

When I was on lunch today, I experienced my first migraine. A visual aura. Lasted about 30 minutes. I immediately stopped what I was doing to go take a nap. If you have never had one before, it is truly terrifying. 😵💫🌈

Let’s use our brains: How many coups have you heard about where the media remains trustworthy?
We are being placated.

Here’s why we are underreacting: Google the Milgram Experiment – in which people stood by while heinous acts occurred in front of their own eyes, deferring to authority. We are doing a reenactment of this in real time nationally right now. It is deathly urgent we STOP doing that.
