How are you hanging your antenna? Dipoles for 20m and lower are typically set up in an Inverted V configuration, which should work fine with the 10m mast you already have.

As someone who used to troubleshoot an extremely complex system for my day job, I can say I've worked my way across the entire bell curve.

The things is, if you try to parse html with a regex, you will always be able to construct valid html that will break it, no matter how complex your regex becomes.

United. Twice. They damaged my luggage both times.

I've only flown Delta and American since then.

That's not a hitch, it's a lashing, if I understand you correctly.

Python or Perl. IIRC, I've seen systems with a Perl install by default, but not Python.

On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.

It's definitely great in theory until you inherit a codebase with no tests, poor documentation, and numerous reported bugs already live in production. Even better if it was written by people hired because they could do other things better than they could code - which looking at some of the unlabeled wiring messes we were left, isn't saying a lot.

 

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler?

There's also !amateur_radio@lemmy.radio which is reasonably active.

 

Field Day is, more or less, amateur radio's yearly open house. Clubs around the country will be setting up in parks to demonstrate their ability to make contacts in "less than ideal" conditions (which basically means "outside, without mains power").

If you're at all curious about radio communication, you should find your nearest site and drop in.
