I know there are some HAM Radio folks on the indieweb and adjacent, so I’m passing along this question from my dad:
My Yaesu VX-8DR will receive APRS beacons but won’t send my beacon or send or receive APRS messages, settings seem correct.
Anyone have suggestions?
@smokey Well if he has passed 80, he is easily older than I am! Fortunately, I think my About says I am one of the older ones here, so no need to change that. As for WWII, I actually have zero recollections about that, as I was only alive for just under two mos of it, so was probably mostly sleeping during that time! 😴 I have a clear recollection of the newspaper announcing the Armistice of the Korean War. It was in very big type and I knew it was a really big deal. They had been in peace talks for two years and Ike was already president. I still have my "I Like Ike" button some where. 😃
