Why on earth would we even consider buying this plane now?

"Hey that car/music/tractor you thought you bought? It belongs to us and we are renting it out to you."

@feld They used to be very rare in Ottawa let alone here in Ottawa. Climate change is doing it.

Risk of Tornado. We never used to have tornadoes here.

@chris @leroy I understand fully. I guess I am just frustrated. And I just saw this post out of the corner of my eye...

This is exactly why we must get rid of FPTP or we become a two party system. Two party systems lead to fascism IMO.

@feld @ZenHeathen @TimWardCam @Snowshadow @carstenfranke Yes I had heard of BPS. No, you'd only need one SDR rx.

@carstenfranke @ZenHeathen @Snowshadow @TimWardCam The military removed the blurred GPS results for non-military years ago. It's very good now. The real problem nowadays is the use of GPS jammers/spoofers. It is a huge problem in war areas now.

I just saw a Communist Party election ad on TV. I can just imagine all the Merkin heads exploding now.

Sometimes it’s fun to be on Mastodon on my iPad as I am so much more likely to see random posts that way that lead me in delicious directions! I have so many interests!

Clearly, I am not a geek.

I saw this earlier but it had no alt-text.

@alex hmmm newsmast.social as well as newsmast.community ? Just blocked the entire domain. Aint got time for this shit.

@tk I am not a fan of the G5RV. It's a 20 m gain antenna that happens to be tunable on some other HF bands but performs badly. I'd cut the coax right off and use it for a separate 2m J pole or something. Use a tuner for the remaining openwire feeder and it will tune all HF a lot better than the G5! J pole will perform much better on 2m than the G5RV.

@tk 1. feedline does not have to be completely at right angles. 2. typically openwire or ladder line is mostly used at HF not a VHF although a few VHF/UHF moonbounce (EME) stations have used it. Use a good quality coax. 3. Impedance of ladder line can be quite a bit higher than 50ohm but a tuner is not suggested. If you must use a 300ohm <-> 50 ohm balun. 4. tough location as you are hemmed in quite a bit. Look up J pole you can make one with 300 ohm twinlead. Hang it as high as you can. 73 de va3db

@kaia Kafka wants his story back.

Controversial opinion. Ritz crackers have more flavour than some apples.

I have mixed feelings about the sudden influx of spambot/scambots on here! Sorry Jasmine, I think you are a scam or something. Ah Mastodon.social already zapped the account!

My father lived during the war when the U.S. helped fight fascism in Germany but I might live during the war that Germany helps fight fascism in the U.S.
It's ironic and sad.

@Alison We don't need all those aircraft carrier because we aren't the ones with an Empire.
Also we like everyone else were convinced we had a "Peace dividend" after the detente and now this orange maniac has destroyed this. We will have to rearm like the Germans and the French and the Uk like everyone else.

@evilscientistca You aren't the only one that's said this or similar. The F-35s will be made in the U.S. and if the U.S. will control the tech inside. We would not be able to get spare parts.
I suggested the Gripen earlier as others have. It was a runner up anyway.
