Not from US so I'm not sure but I think you can access the 10 metre band with technician? If so, doing Parks on the Air or Summits on the Air could possibly be something you might …

Yep I love it for FT8. Fun little radio to play around with. If you want any more info my email is in my bio, feel free to email me.

I use onthegomap almost daily. Such a great tool. Thank you for it.

I don't know anything about trading options but wanted to say with a 9-5 job and 2 kids, getting any kind of MVP out is a great accomplishment. Well done.

Check out https://play.battlesnake.com/ Can quickly spin up a Snake using an AWS lambda. It can be a lot of fun.

Good to hear about the Flexispot desk. How long have you had it? Looking to get a standing desk and these look decent.

Thanks so much, this looks very cool!

I made the exact same thing haha. I use it all the time now. Would love to compare notes. How did you make the text readable from the links?

What do you use to play?
