I didnt actually die, but I came pretty close. I lost a ton of blood, started tk get tunnel vision, blacked out, then there was nothing, then I regained consciousness after getting a transfusion. Not sure how long I was out, but they said I was white as a sheet.
I used garuda for about a year and a half and loved it...mostly. I use a bluetooth headset and controller for gaming and it seems like after every single update, bluetooth broke and i either had to stuggle for hours to try and fix it, or just not use it till another update. Also, a lot of multiplayer games that use anticheat won't work on linux. I just recently switch back to windows because of those hassles.
If those things aren't comcerns for you then you should love your experience! Best of luck!
It's the PReQueL to the SeQueL
I created another video to introduce new users to Lemmy!
This video is more from a users perspective and less from an admins! I am trying to up my production quality as I can, let me know what you think!
Also I shared this with my test account a minute ago and deleted it, sorry for the double share!

In approximately 1 hour I will be making another attempt to update the server to the latest version.
Struggling with X6100
This radio is the most expensive thing I have bought for the hobby so far and it is making me want to cry. I cant figure out why it wont tune up to the dipole I made. It seems to work fine sometimes and just randomly shut off other times. SWR scan seems to be effected by being plugged in to power. ATU seems to be equally hit or miss. I am login my mind. Any help or advice is welcome!

Plans for field day?
Just realized that today is field day. Gonna go out and see what the local hams are up to. Anyone else have plans?
Recommendations for a portable HF vertical antenna?
I am looking for a vertical HF antenna that can pack down small and not be insanely expensive. Any idea?
I like Lemur! Maybe Lemiverse?
I have used ProtonVPN and ProtonMail for years now and I absolutely love their service.
I made a Morse Code video!
I want to learn Morse Code. I have tried a bunch of different ways and I struggle. I considered how it used to be done, a cassette tape that plays the sounds over and over driving them into your skull. I figured I would make one myself and see if it helped. I feel like I am associating the sounds to the letters more effectively than other methods I have tried. Maybe it will help someone else too!

Suggestions for an inexpensive antenna analyzer?
Then I realized why the dipole wasn't working.
X6100 and antenna in a nice portable case!
Got an X6100 and a dipole antenna and put them in this vmcase from harbor freight. The coax and antenna wires are in the layer of foam under the radio.
Welcome!
It's a little sparse right now, but feel free to post anything ham radio related while I get things organized!
