I think we need to create some form of $LSVR strategic leadership committee comprising leaders across all parts of the community. We need to collaborate and act openly as one. But we need leadership, because I’m telling you it’s very unlikely to come from above…
I’m proposing that we set up some forum where thought leaders and opinion formers from across Twitter, Telegram, Discord and all their global equivalents come together to share info, strategise & plan a unified response…
We are clearly characters in a game. We need to act accordingly…
How portable can a #QO100 station be? Ultraportable, when running #FT8. No dish, <100 mW out (note the 3dB attenuator) and a 5000 mAh battery can power it for the whole day. 486 FT8 QSOs using this setup from JO89🇸🇪 so far. Few notes and thoughts

This is neither the most light-weight nor elegant setup, yet it takes less backpack space than my LEO gear (2xFT-818 & Arrow). The size can be further cut down if an SDR is used. I don't do #SOTA or #POTA but have not heard of anyone adopting similar approach in their activations
1) 13dBi RHCP cavity-backed patch antenna on TX (FPV drone racing antenna will do)
2) Bare, modified single LNB on RX
3) Primitive bias tee and high-pass filter to enable GPSDO input and IF out from LNB via one cable
4) DXPatrol upconverter
5) Leo Bodnar GPSDO
6) Cheap SDR dongle

Now watching
1973s Battle for the Planet of the Apes
Its been years since I watched the 5th and last of the original #PotA franchise.
Its told in flashback by the Lawgiver, saying Man put Apes in Slavery (Zaius never would), so its possibly unreliable (apart from time travel)

'Battle' begins with a recap (as unreliable flashback), but while it says Caesars Rebellion coincided with The Human Apocalypse, it doesn't explain the connection or how other apes became sapient
The new franchise ties both events to the Ahlzeimer experiment and resultant plague

The story proper begins with a mixed Ape / Human community but: The Apes are clean, groomed, and in clean color coded clothing we have seen in the first movies, while the Humans filthy, disheveled and in filthy assorted rags (with one exception)
Remember that unreliable narrator
