This is one of my favorite Murderbot quotes on this large decal now on my older Intel MBP... Current plan is to put it to use as my ham radio laptop, for which is should be massive overkill, even if I need to run VirtualBox for something. But the laptop has been gathering dust for like 4 years now and I'll feel better if it's useful for something.

My #145Alive stickers have arrived. Thank you to Jon, EI5JTB, for producing them.

For those not familiar with #145Alive, it is a Saturday event which takes place in the UK (& Ireland?) every three months or so. It's an opportunity for licensed #hamradio operators to get on 2m FM with the certainty that there'll be loads of other operators on-air.

When I decided to get a #hamradio vanity callsign, my first inclination was to get a 2x1 or 1x2 so it was as short as possible. Then I thought about a local FM radio station here in Carmel, CA named KRML.

I obviously couldn't have that as a call sign, but I was able to get KR4ML (K4RML is taken). It's still relatively short and seems kind of fitting.

I found one of KRML’s old logos and recreated it with a slight modification. I guess there is a new t-shirt in my future
