- Comment on Spotting with the Fediverse? 3 days ago:
For lemmy: it’s mostly link sharing, so I’d mostly see posting about *OTA experiences, pics, questions here in the POTA/SOTA communities.
Mastodon, on the other hand, would just be one way to show something like that since it’s more time related and ephemeral. Bot was my first stab at something like you mean, but I do think there could be something to auto-post with all that data.
And while not on the fediverse: I use hamspot for something like this. It flips the onus of posting a spot to actually listening FOR a spot from people you know around the fediverse.
BUT if we want to let our ideas get REALLY wild with it: I could totally see a federated service for spotting. Different instances handing different kinds of spots. Parks or peaks or islands being different items that people can subscribe to and spot from. Just spit ballin’.
- Comment on Spotting with the Fediverse? 3 days ago:
I could see a community used for spotting. Not sure how the browser extension part would work.
I see people post a sorta self-spot on mastodon all the time. Something that might be nice is a mastodon bot that could read a certain hashtag or if it was @ed so everyone could follow the bot to see who is activating.

I’ll have to check if pictrs added some gif upload attributes to their settings. I think I remember seeing an option. I’ll try fixing this today!

Oddly enough, I think that’s supposed to not be set to anything. The way lemmy does language replies and filtering is kinda odd. If you set that to English, I think only people who have just English set can see or reply. Shrug

- Comment on Random question for today: Considering people who are not amateurs, if you wanted to create increased visibility and participation in amateur radio, what would you do? 3 months ago:
Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there’s a lot of carry over from the test.

- Comment on How ham radio endures - and remains a disaster lifeline - in the iPhone era 4 months ago:
It’s both. SK, Stop Keying, is used in CW (morse) whenever a station is done transmitting. SK is also Silent Key, but you’ll rarely hear the abbreviation over voice or CW.
