I had a great time on ham (not HAM) radio today, talking to people participating in a "Summit on the Air" event from Mount Umunhum. Then I spent some time building a "Class D" PWM AM radio transmitter using a circuit a guy from Bulgaria posted to a forum a few months ago.

I take a little portable "truSDX" with me in my travels, and enjoy making contacts on FT8 and CW with it using a wire I hang out of my hotel window. In the past year, I've done this from Tokyo to Tel Aviv.

Ever worry about being of interest to foreign intelligence I ask only half joking!

Ever done it in Moscow?!


I've only done it in countries that permit this! Russia is not on the list:

(It's also not a good idea for U.S. Citizens to go there right now.)
