- Comment on Linux Ham Radio KISS Serial Driver Being Modernized In 2026 7 hours ago:
It’s a serial protocol to talk with a Terminal Node Controller so that you can use a computer to control and send AX.25 packets, rather than rely on the firmware in the TNC.

Most hams these days are using soundcard modems and not using TNCs.

- Comment on [FoAR] Foundations of Amateur Radio - The ARRL incident of May 2024, a year later #podcast 8 months ago:
I’ve been an on and off member of the ARRL every since I was first licensed in the 90s. At one point, I was even a VE. I don’t remember exactly what made me decide to drop membership many years ago, but in the following years the actions of the ARRL have not inspired confidence.
I have received zero emails about my VE status, and I haven’t participated in any licensing sessions in years.
- Comment on Did anyone who is not a member of the #ARRL receive an email about #LoTW, or is it just me? 9 months ago:
I’m a registered user of LotW, but not an ARRL member. Pretty sure they sent it to all registered users.
