First Time Using Lemmy (lemmy.ko4abp.com)

I live in upstate New York, I have a general class license, and this is my first time using Lemmy (or any federated social for that matter).

My mobile rig is a VR-N7500 "50W" VHF/UHF. It uses Bluetooth control from my phone, and it does APRS.

My QTH rig is a Xiegu G90 on a 40m EFHW powered by micro solar. I mainly do FT8, as well as a little VARA HF WinLink. (I'm a bit mic shy and my antenna setup isn't that great.)

I'm interested in POTA (and maybe SOTA).

Hope to meet some friendly folk!

Love Raspberry Pis. Recently burned up a Rpi4 and Im still sad about it... Still need to replace it.

I want to grab one of the new models and make a portable station out of it for doing digital work. Mostly for stuff like POTA.
