Oh!! Nice

Exactly! It’s a good plan. Upstream will appreciate it too. You can always look to scale up/down as needed.

Makes sense. So stress points could be your local server. Former cloud/devops guy

Are you going to make api calls to other providers or do you have to sync and serve this up on your end?

That’s the bad part of ham sticks being mono band.

Yeah Yaesu UI is not the most intuitive, but once you get the hang of it it’s kind of similar across all their products. It’s not a Kenwood or ICOM UI for sure.

Great radio. I have an 891

The M7.1-flare today was quite eruptive! It even degraded HF/VHF radio bands on Earth's dayside for over an hour. The R2-level radio blackout was most intense over South America as expected for summer in the southern hemisphere. Expect noise on the dayside bands to remain moderate to high this week.
