Ea5iyl@mastodon.radio

<p>Enjoying a teenage hobby I retook in 2019, but now with proper licenses and call signs and more than 40 years older. Improving my CW and teaching others at the <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/CWAcademy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CWAcademy</span></a> and enjoying SOTA and QRP, and sometimes satellites. I love the 4 m band when it&#39;s open — not much done recently; 6 m is great too! PMR446 as a gateway to ham radio. Proprietary digital modes (DMR, YSF, ROS, VARAC, LoRa...) are not proper ham radio (ask me why).<br />CWops #3765 SKCC #29523.</p>

    A must read about «AI» hype by @emilymbender@dair-community.social and @timnitGebru@dair-community.social . https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/22/1144867/dont-be-fooled-summer-ai-hype/ I found it particularly instructive to read the Leiden Declaration by mathematicians on «AI»: https://leidendeclaration.ai/ I&#39;d like to see a similar declaration on #hamradio and #AI. There&#39;s probably one already one out there, which I am not aware of.

    Together with Xisco, EC6PG, I teach #cw courses in #catalan at the #cwacademy #cwopsAcademy. The CW Academy does not offer any courses in #spanish yet, but there are people who keep asking for them. If a Spanish-speaking ham out there is willing to teach (advise) a course, We have Beginners and Fundamental courses prepared, with all materials in Catalan (a sister language), and complete planning notes for advisors, and we&amp;#39;re happy to share them; maybe they can be translated easier.

    I joined Mastodon.radio some years ago and started following mostly hams and almost exclusively radio users. I only favour but never (almost never) boost non-radio posts. I post radio stuff almost exclusively. In spite of all that, my timeline is full of non-radio stuff: computers, AI, politics,... Is there something I&amp;#39;ve done wrong? Or is ham radio a sideshow for many of the accounts I follow?

    #FT2, &amp;quot;the fastest mode&amp;quot; is currently only available on Windows and there is no source code. It should not be in our bands like that.
