/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2600696
>what do you fellas actually do?
trying to talk to people around the world (without setting the house on fire)
I started to use Feld-Hell, it's a mode that transmits text that can be printed really simply but everyone uses computers now, picrel.
I do SSTV (transmission of images) sometimes, but mostly voice. Some are proficient in Morse code (it's very effective)
But transmitting is only a part of the hobby, tinkering with electronics, antennas is also a huge part. I have to renovate an antenna, put more coaxial cables to the garden, do some portable operations with a friend during spring and summer, a lot of things
