@k8quinn @mattblaze I've been wanting to visit KPH. It looks like a really interesting place!

If I was a mariner today, I would want to make sure I've got a couple of short wave radios in case satellites become unavailable...

@douglasvb @k8quinn It’s absolutely worth a visit, and they’re really nice people.

@mattblaze@federate.social @k8quinn@vivaldi.net I think we might go that way in January for a long weekend so we'll be sure to stop by.

I've passed the building many times in the last 30 years but until a year or so ago I didn't realize what it was!
