You should check out Ham Radio Crash Cpurse on YouTube. Lots of great info there.
Most activity, I've seen here: !amateurradio@lemmy.ko4abp.com but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.
These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)
They are fine for starting out with, but you'll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.
Ham radio! It's relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.
I have photos of the interior. Let’s see if this is the one.
I was in Hiroshima and found this little Tex-Mex restaurant near the bomb dome. It was great, and I say that as someone originally from Texas. Search for it if you’re ever there.
I was on the fence about it until the Spez AMA. Then, I decided I'd be leaving on the 30th.
Then, I had a user call me "fucking stupid" for supporting a sub shutting down, and that was the final straw for me. I had seen how friendly people on Lemmy are and this showed me how toxic Reddit is by comparison. So I immediately nuked all my comments & posts and deleted my account. This was around two weeks ago and I've been much happier here.
This is precisely my experience. I am a recovering big L Libertarian (in the USA sense). Now I'd say I'm liberal, slowly moving more left.
