Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there's a lot of carry over from the test.

Once the dead rat and blood wall were cleaned up, the stream really went down hill

It's both. SK, Stop Keying, is used in CW (morse) whenever a station is done transmitting. SK is also Silent Key, but you'll rarely hear the abbreviation over voice or CW.

 

When disaster strikes, and conventional communication systems fail, amateur ham radio operators step in to bridge the gap, providing a crucial link between those in affected areas and the outside world.

 

While some residents in hurricane-impacted areas can’t send texts or make calls, amateur radio enthusiasts are helping communicate requests for help and messages between loved ones.

 

With communication still limited after Helene devastated western North Carolina, ham radio operators in the Triangle and other areas are trying to help people connect with loved ones unable to make calls or evacuate.

Could be that ARRL was down then. All links work for me.

Yea in a community you only see the community info. The “official” sidebar is only on the main feed

What do you see and what link are you using? On my Mac in safari at lemmy.radio I can see it. Not in a community

The general sidebar on the right has some links for how to get into amateur radio.

Not a lemmy dev so I’m not the go to on issues. I had that issue on Firefox though.

I feel like every year since I’ve been licensed and an ARRL member, I’ve become less enthused by the ARRL. To the point where this may be my last year as a member.

Also a thought: I use a few ARRL links in our side bar I wouldn’t mind changing to non-ARRL links. Open to suggestions.

It's a blast to play. Took about 6 tries to finish the game. The difficulty spike at the end is kinda crazy. Definitely recommend getting it before/if Nintendo takes it down.

I do enjoy my morserino-32. It was an educational experience to build and it has definitely helped my cw comprehension

I bought a pretty basic safety razor from maggard about 10 years ago and still love it. The biggest thing to learn and invest in is what blades and lather you like. I started off buying a blade sampler pack from them and settled on astra blades. i'll change up my lather/soap sometimes. Also a nice brush is good to have.
