LOL. I work in a secure facility. Phone stays in my vehicle, as per the law.

Staff appreciation week, so we go cheeseburgers grilled out and cheesecake. May not sound like a whole lot but I work in a (literal) prison so this is definitely not a very common treat. T'was nice.

Unrelated, but sort of related: It'd be neat to find a transmitter using only some SDR receiver in a sort of fox-hunt, geocaching, scavenger hunt type thing. No audio, just roam around with some sort of yagi antenna until you start to receive the faintest glimpse at what appears to be a signal...

Yeah, I hate to say it but DigitalOcean has served me pretty well. For budget providers I've always fancied BuyVM, SecureDragon, Hostigation and RamNode. I only have personal services running with BuyVM, SecureDragon and DigitalOcean right now, though. If I were to have some project, a big...

Yeah, a ham. I guess the internet is too high-tech for me so I'm going old school with radios, ha. the furtherest I reached today was Lexington, KY which is just about 80 miles away as the crow flies. This is much better than my mobile rig which is just a Baofeng HT and a small dual band mag...

A (very) temporary mounting system for my antenna. Waiting for a bucket truck to become available so I can put that baby up on a mast in it's permanent location. It's a Diamond x200a 2M/70cm antenna. Thing is a beast. I made a few contacts today from 60+ miles away which is pretty impressive for...

They're great. I love the simplicity of their panel and the service has always been top-notch. They're one of my 'go to' service providers when I need a budget VPS and I'd say it's pretty close between them, BuyVM, Ramnode and Hostigation. All solid performers.

Happy Birthday!

Only difference now is I have a 4' Firestick on the back for a CB. Got a magmount 2M/70cm antenna on top for ham radio but I may replace it later with something a bit better. Not too bad for a 99. I like it.

Couldn't you use a RTL-SDR usb dongle to achieve this? I use one to monitor the 2M/70cm amateur radio bands around me but I can also tune it to FM stations and record them to file if I wish. I use Gqrx on Linux to achieve this. That's me monitoring a local station that I can actually...

Uhg. Your speeds. I don't even know what all is possible with 1Mbps down. Guess I'll find out soon enough. Now I know why there is a HughesNet internet satellite on the property... but gross. Capped data and still poor speeds.

There is a small but vocal demand for it. Trust me. :) And hopefully Tapatalk doesn't break all the time for XF like it did IPB.

Like the product of a mad scientist, vpsBoard is back from the grave and given a new life! MannDude here, and I'm happy to announce that the vpsBoard project is now under new leadership and is being resurrected from the dead. First things first, you'll notice that IPB has finally been ditched...

Yeah, I wasn't going to touch the conversion. I liked IPB pre 3.4.x All this 4.0.x stuff makes me want to hammer my testicles with a wooden mallet. The admin area was completely redesigned and basic stuff that was once there, very helpful and useful stuff, now gone. Basically they just made...

Not hard at all. The Technician Class license, which is the bare minimum requirement for transmitting is pretty easy. Go to HamStudy.org to study flashcards. There are 35 questions on the exam, but the question pool is 400 questions. Use that site I mentioned to study and take practice exams...

Can you hear me now?

I'm just glad to see vpsBoard with new life.

EDIT: This post has been superseded by https://vpsboard.com/threads/vpsboard-is-back.9687/ Dear vpsBoard members and guests: Over the last year or two vpsBoard activity and traffic has dwindled. I have had a change of career and interests, and as such am no longer an active member of the web...

Depends on who you ask. I'm no longer working in the IT industry and haven't been for a while, but I've got a couple online projects I'm working on on the side. vpsBoard definitely isn't at it's peak activity but it's still, uh, 'in use'.
