When artificial intelligence eventually replaces all human intellect leaving no need to remember information or perform calculations, what will remain will be everything we should have been focusing on in the first place.

Whenever we are growing in knowledge, strength, or even faith, one thing is true. Progress reveals weakness.

So, if we take steps forward and feel out of place, unequipped, or weak, it might not be a sign of failure at all, but rather a sign that important growth is happening and needs to be done.

Amateur Radio Net Logger

A ton of work was done on NetControl.app last week! user experience improvements including passcode permissions which is great for clubs. You can now manage a roster of stations that check into your nets frequently, for faster and easier check-ins. Enjoy!! #amateur-radio #ham-radio

For all those choosing to protest today for the #nokings protest..the message needs to be said, but please do not be provoked into violence. Strong men and women died so we'd have the right to speak. Show the world we can be peaceful in our defiance of tyranny and abuse of power.

I am feeling pretty good with my 60 day streak on the morsle.fun challenge considering I am learning letters at 30 wpm. Still have a way to go to be proficient, but I love this fun daily exercise! #cw #hamradio

Still adjusting my new Putikeeg CW paddle, but so far it's been working pretty well for me. I'll be hunting some POTA activators this afternoon so be on the lookout if you're out there. 73!! #amateurradio #hamradio #cw #pota

Very cool! I picked up a few ISS images last year on SSTV which was pretty fun. Speaking of FM, do you frequent any repeaters in your area? I'm looking for a club to commit to but I mostly stick to HF. Trying to get out and local more.

I jumped on HF for World Amateur Radio Day, but the band conditions were really bad for me. Are you guys making contacts out there? For my non-ham friends, don't let this post discourage you. Get your license and see what the fun is about! #WARD #IARU100Years #hamradio

I normally hunt POTA with CW cause I'm still learning but tonight I finally did a CQ TEST on 15m and totally got spotted on RBN!! 🤘And only a measly 1588 miles away in UT!!

I just got this exact paddle from Amazon. Still adjusting dits and dahs and can't eliminate the "click" keying but seems overall pretty good. How is it working for you?

For those lucky enough to grow up during (what I call) the golden age of fast food, this story might resonate. Read about my first job at McDonalds and what a crew manager named Denise taught me about leadership. #firstjob #leadership
