JawnCon 0x3 opens today at 8:30 AM. @jawncon

If you've been playing with an RTL-SDR or HackRF, catch "ham for hackers" by Ham Radio Village's own Ed Wilson at 2:30 PM on the main stage. Receiving is fine. A license lets you transmit legally, build your own gear, and use up to 1,500 watts.

Then get licensed. We're testing all weekend, just ask, or join Saturday's 9 AM study session and 1 PM exams.

Taking your first ham exam at JawnCon on Saturday? Two things before you show up:

1. Skim KB6NU's No-Nonsense Technician study guide. It's free:
https://www.kb6nu.com/study-guides/

2. Get an FCC Registration Number (FRN). It's free and takes a few minutes:
https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/support/knowledge-base/universal-licensing-system-uls-resources/getting-fcc-registration

Then come to the 9 AM study session and sit the exam at 1 PM.

Exam day at JawnCon.

Walk in at 9 knowing nothing, walk out a ham. That happens at these sessions more than you'd think.

Also worth your morning: "Paging in 2026" with Mike Dank and Naveen Albert, 11 AM on the main stage. It covers DAPNET, the decentralized paging network hams run on cheap and surplus hardware.

This is tough post. I’m grown. If you don’t like what I write or say, let’s talk about it. What I can’t abide is the #ghosting. It’s cowardly. I’ve no interest in or time for retribution. I’ll leave that for the president & his minions. I’m attempting to build something grand with the help of the #amateurradio community. Join us and be free.
