Step 1. Get your own domain. I bought from porkbun. This was a difficult choice for me, having heard /read cases of domain hijacking by unethical domain sellers. Porkbun had decent reviews. Step2. Follow instructions on protonmail custom domains. Wait for all the greyed out tags to turn green. I was impatient and my domain was marked as spam by Spamhaus. Had to open ticket with them to get off their list step3: enjoy!

additional steps. I moved my dns provider to cloudflare if you wish to go that route.

“Just a hobby, won’t be big” - he really didn’t think it will be one of the most sought after projects.

New Yaesu radio announced. What do we think about it? To me, it looks like the Yaesu version of Icom IC705.

Hello This is VU2TUM. I am inviting you to a Google Meet session on 03/12/23 at 11 am IST ( 0530 UTC) where I will show how to setup Gpredict, Hamlib (and FLrig) to interface your CAT enabled radio.   The three software mentioned above are cross platform open source software and available free of cost, i.e. available for Linux, Mac, Raspberry Pi and Windows. While I am primarily a Linux & Mac user, I will attempt to show it how to do it on Windows as I understand many hams have windows machines  What we will not cover in this online discussion is how to do it for "your radio" in specific. I can share basic steps. As as disclaimer, I would like to point out that I am not a software person and my day job does not involve programming etc. I learnt this on my own and willing to share. That said, it is likely that someone can come up with a more efficient method and I am happy to learn as well.  See you during the Google Meet

Learning morse code by tracing patterns by vu2tum in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Like others said, such methods will not help achieve proficiency in morse. One needs to learn and associate sound patterns rather than dits and dahs
