Thank you very much!

Even with a HT, you'll probably have a blast on a summit. Line of sight for miles and miles could mean lots of contacts!

 

I'm wondering if anybody knows what the antenna (and seemingly accompanying hardware) on this telephone pole is.

Thank you in advance!

Hello! Nice to meet you!

I recently bought arborist throw line for POTA use. It helps to get the antenna into the trees.

Might be worth a look, if you're interested in that. I bought from Weaver leather.

In my defense, it hasn't been used in a long time.

But the best way to learn is by doing. And I had interest in ethical hacking/penetration testing

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.

Fair enough!

Still an interesting idea for possible future endeavors.

For a little while, I had a tiny web page running on a raspberry pi at my house.

I also used that raspberry pi for the SSH tunnel.

Raspberry Pi 1 B+

Very cool!

I have an RTL-SDR that lets me do that too. I also have aircrack-ng on one of my Linux installs, for research purposes.

For cooling do you use air, water, or both?

I want to run a home media server. Something like Jellyfin probably. Maybe a Minecraft server too.

I also interested in rolling my own VPN. So far I've just use an SSH tunnel for traffic tunneling.

If the X6100 runs Linux, it's possible you could install Pat onto it!

That's very cool!

It's cool to run servers at home.

If you have a Linux distro installed, you could install Pat. It's an email client. It works with some of WinLinks stuff, if I remember correctly.

 

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!
