Christopher M. Hobbs (hobbsc@gs.sdf.org)'s status on Sunday, 04-Dec-2016 03:05:40 UTC Christopher M. Hobbs Made my first satellite contact tonight! I worked #SO-50 with a Yaesu FT-60R and a Comet SMA-24 whip and reached KO4MA down in Florida. I was so excited that I immediately lost the bird... !amateur -

Christopher M. Hobbs (hobbsc@gs.sdf.org)'s status on Wednesday, 30-Nov-2016 21:24:38 UTC Christopher M. Hobbs Anyone know how to self host DDNS? I've got static IPs, a couple of domains, and a DNS server in my office. I'd like to do foo.manor.space on a machine at my house (which has a dynamic address) without using a third party. -
Christopher M. Hobbs (hobbsc@gs.sdf.org)'s status on Saturday, 26-Nov-2016 19:32:18 UTC Christopher M. Hobbs @nds how much of that is because of the github hype train? Bzr is very usable and most folks don't hit hg's limitations on smaller projects. I think a huge part of Git's success is the centralization of a decentralized system. People just don't seem to want decentralization. -

Hobbs This pic didn't come through for some reason. 2m/440 half-wave "flower pot" antenna shoddily mounted on a tripod from my son's telescopes. !amateur #hack https://gs.sdf.org/attachment/208218 -
Christopher M. Hobbs (hobbsc@gs.sdf.org)'s status on Saturday, 19-Nov-2016 20:27:36 UTC Christopher M. Hobbs I can't get the original image to upload for some reason. It's not much clearer, anyway. This is the 2m/440 half-wave "flower pot" antenna that I made, shoddily mounted on one of my son's telescope tripods. #hack !amateur -
Christopher M. Hobbs (hobbsc@gs.sdf.org)'s status on Saturday, 19-Nov-2016 20:25:44 UTC Christopher M. Hobbs I really need to get a SWR meter on this thing. I'm not convinced that it's properly tuned but I'm pleased with the work. It's simple enough to modify. !amateur -

Christopher M. Hobbs (hobbsc@gs.sdf.org)'s status on Saturday, 12-Nov-2016 01:02:34 UTC Christopher M. Hobbs We either faintly picked up LILACSAT-2 tonight or a repeater bumped into my scan. I gotta build a yagi if we're ever going to work satellites properly. !amateur -
