Today I'm mostly working but also doing a little bit of ham radio for Field Day.

I created this short-link to see where my signal is making it to with weak signal digital modes. I'm operating QRP this year so every contact takes some effort to pull in.

Calling all hams! Calling all hams!

This weekend the Pride Radio Group (a group of LGBTQ+ folks and allies) is operating special event stations in celebration of . Look for callsigns N6L, N6G, N6B, and N6T on SSB, FT8, and CW on all bands.

(I'm the op of N6T right now --- look for me on 10 meters FT8)

I just had my first ham radio contact with Japan! I was using only 5 watts fed into a homemade backyard wire dipole antenna. The frequency was 18.1 MHz (on the 17 meter band) using the FT8 digital mode.

Thanks to JF8EVE (Kazuo Enomoto) in Hokkaido for being on the other end of this contact.

The distance was 9297 km, so that's a little under 1000 miles per watt.

Very proud (and thankful to those on the other side who made contacts with me) over the last few years.All contacts for ...

Very proud (and thankful to those on the other side who made contacts with me) over the last few years.

All contacts for this award were QRP (5 watts or less) in digital modes.

I have to show this off --- I got a report back that my QRP (low power) digital mode transmission made it all the way to DPØGVN, operating from the German research station Neumayer III in Antarctica.

Pretty amazing what the WSPR mode can do with only 5 watts.

Also the picture of the station is a we**am picture from the last hour or so, and at this moment it looks like a pretty day in Antarctica with the 24/7 sun shining.

Woohoo! I just got Delaware into the logbook. Thanks to W3WTE of Millsboro, DE for the 20 meter FT8 contact this afternoon.

So now I'm only lacking Alaska and Maine (and a confirmation for Rhode Island) to have had ham radio contacts with all 50 US States!!!

I have to show off my decode of a Russian Amateur radio transmission from the International Space Station.

For any Baofeng radio naysayers out there, this was received with a very beat up old Baofeng UV5RA radio. Haha!

Decoding was done with the RX-SSTV software for windows.

I will post a video soon that shows the whole decoding process.
