Supposed to be freezing and rainy here. Not sure I'll make it out to a park, but I'll try my best to hunt for y'all!

tracking is mostly done via software. the airplane, satellite, boat, etc will have some way of transmitting data (lat/long, speed, weather data...) and a receiving station (for instance, a computer a ham operator controls) will pick up that transmission and usually post it somewhere. An example would be something like APRS

Ham operators themselves can track in a way. When you are communicating with another ham, you will usually give your callsign, location, other pertinent info, and then you can log/record that you talked to someone from a certain area.

GREAT answer. It's funny how I got into ham radio because I thought it seemed a cool way to talk to people... and now I almost never use voice and mostly do what you listed above.

Wow they really need to get in check. I do have the screenshots

I guess Andy or the proton social media team has started using the corporate bluesky account to discuss it now.

Yes, you must pass the general exam before taking the amateur extra exam.

Ha sorry. Forgot mentioning the account from another service would create a post here. But still happy to see y’all!

I just moved everything from goodreads to bookwyrm and it was painless.

I’ve had sats/ISS on my list of things to learn for a while. Maybe 2025 will be the year I get that yagi built.

Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there's a lot of carry over from the test.
