Hello again friend, fellow gophernaut.
I've had my head in the proveribal sand recently, and haven't been
around aside from an occasional browse on gopher. In fact, I
almost missed ROOPHLOC 2019.
Fear not, for here is my entry. Please excuse the terseness --
that will be explained below.
I'm posting this from my backyard, mostly because I just read
about this and didn't had time to implement a solution and find a
nice remote place to post. I'm sending this via packet radio to a
local Winlink node through a digipeater. 1200 baud with a simplex
repeater is mighty slow. This post is composed and sent on my
laptop using pat, then to a TH-D72 HT with a semi-portable quarter
wave ground plane antenna made from an SO-239 connector with 14awg
wire soldered to it. Simple, but effective. Then it goes to an
email address checked by a raspberry pi with fetchmail, filters
out the attachment (easier than stripping metadata and allows me
to dictate filenames), then rsyncs to the zaibatsu via cron job.
Something bashed out in a couple hours. Bonus is that I can now
send posts using the equipment I already have in my EDC bag except
for the ground plane (I could use my roll up slim jim with some
paracord to hang it if I wanted to keep it all in a bag).
It's a beautiful day today, with mild temperatures and a light
breeze. I'm enjoying listening to the birds and owls. I think I
shall go for a bike ride.
