Vertigo (vertigo@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 02-Aug-2019 01:34:09 UTC Vertigo LB: Every few years, people rediscover that the ham radio community isn't an open source/maker community, like how ARRL presents it.
Making/elmering doesn't end with Yet Another YAGI, a few articles in QST about the same old stuff year over year, and the occasional trap or two.
