I've never done real cards before, but would like to in the future - and what better than a rainy January day to do some designing. Here's my first attempt.HC01Shttps://hamchallenge.org/ |
| 2025-01-08 21:28:24 | ian@mastodon.radio | 2 | Success! | 52-week ham radio challenge, week 2 as complete as it's going to be. HC02SI gave up on trying to listen the beacons by ear - by evening, the transmissions were all down in the noise and not much fun.Spotted a post by @PA3DSB about the Faros software and left that running during the day instead. Decent daytime Rx of CS3B, OH2B, 4U1UN, 4X6TU. Very occasional Rx of RR90, VR2B, ZS6DN & LU4AA on certain bands only. |
