You don’t have to have conversations with those people - start your own net on a repeater about gardening or robotics or astronomy, find other local people you’d like to work simplex with, ask POTA or SOTA contacts if you can come along next time.
You can change the hobby for the better, if you actively participate.
A common thing I see is people running these part-15 (in the US) devices with upgraded antenna systems, which isn’t permitted. Either run it under amateur rules or under part 15.
Have you tried a 1/4 wave vertical with 4 radials sloping towards the ground? (all wire)? or even a vertical dipole fed halfway up? J-poles show significant coupling to their feedline and mounting arrangements and, as you discovered, are taller than they need to be for their gain.
Vertical will have a null straight up though.
Also, the reflectance of the ocean to RF due to its conductivity has nothing to do with connecting an antenna terminal to it - it’s more like pointing a flashlight at a mirror.
100% IC7300 when it goes on sale
the S&P has averaged 10-12% return per year for over 60 years. So that, in itself, is not an indication of impending doom.
There’s no way to be viable against a heavily government-subsidized competitor who operates in a country with little to no labor, environmental, or safety regulation.
Cisco 2960S that I got for $100 a few years ago. Works great powering my Ubiquiti APs. Somewhat dated, but it’s always fun to feel like a real “IT Pro” and configure with the Cisco CLI.
yes, it looks at a fine-grained clock, usually a cycle counter provided by the CPU for this purpose, to aggregate total on-cpu time for each process.
I think a lot of modern kernels are “tickless” - they don’t use a timeslice timer, and only context switch on IO interrupt, process yield, or when timeouts are specifically requested (including capping cpu-bound processes). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickless_kernel
I think they limit your total ammo inventory in some Nordic country. You have to bring back casings to buy more ammo - solves two problems.

Probably dedicated vector/tensor coprocessors these days - which don’t have to work with your monitor layout or desktop setup!
Surely you mean 0.0999999931082% ?
Now I think my client (Memmy) is wonky too, because it can’t follow any of these links! Will try the web UI.
Ah, I read the requestor as wanting to disallow body text.
Maybe the instance I’m on is wonky, because I can’t even find those communities - I just get the “top”/”default” type communities ala reddit: technology, news, etc, which are all linked mass media articles.
The opposite of that request, yes.
yeah, “the west” is going to invade 🙄
