A Lemmy Community to share links about and for amateur (ham) radio to advance the technology, and promote communication and international goodwill. This community IS NOT for CB, GMRS, MURS, FRS, etc topics unless they are related to ham radio in some way.

We won't tolerate personal insults, illegal activity, or anything contrary to good amateur practice.

If asking questions about regulations, please include your country because we recognize that, while the hobby is international, regulations often aren't.

Someone more talented and experienced than me should host a Fedi contest. It would probably be a fun way to advertise this community, without actually advertising.

Something makes me think it takes a lot of time - not to mention coordinating with other events but a FediQSO party might be something.

I am afraid we're a distinct minority in the hobby, though.

Absolutely.

I’m very new to HF and anything except 2m / 70cm repeaters so I might be overly optimistic, but it seemed like a cool idea for the community. But I also acknowledge I have no idea the work that goes into organizing such an event.
