Cool to hear about your wall :-)
It's practically a labyrinth of hobbies within the ham world these days, from AREDN and mesh to QRP backpacking to Netflix & Chill & JS8...not to mention academia, space, etc.
I was just chatting on the local repeater during a hike today and realized how many of those areas sound really interesting given the time...
- riceart 4y agoOk I’ve been a ham for over 30 years - a bit out of the loop admittedly but this one: “Netflix & Chill” in the context of ham is one I’m not familiar with and couldn’t turn up on google.
- themodelplumber 4y agoAt the risk of being the guy who explains his own joke: It's just a reference to how laid back operations in digital modes (JS8 being one, but FT8 being more common maybe) seem, kind of set it and forget it. On social media you see some people saying things like "I woke up the next day to find that my laptop digital station made contacts in all these countries" First example I found: https://twitter.com/OH8STN/status/1611596504481038338?t=XuYcOOu5IKul12PT8nnodQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/OH8STN/status/1611596504481038338?t=XuYc... JS8 is interesting because it has a P2P aspect where it can relay messages through various stations/ continents to a destination.
