Pinned toot
It was suggested I post, and pin, a toot with information about what it costs to run this instance.
I like this, I want to be transparent, and I think it's important that the community have trust and confidence in me, and the hosting.
Currently the costs looks like this:
* £112.50 a year for a VPS
* €25.00 a year for the domain name
All media (avatars, etc.) are sotred on the server, we use 20G of 40G so far.

2m is hot favourite at the moment, usually running about 25W to a 10 element yagi. HF if I'm there is via a 40m doublet.

Hello Mastodon! This is a new instance for the amateur radio community. 📻
#introductions
We're now running Mastodon v2.9.3
Change log
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.3
@vu3rdd thanks for the reports.
I've suspended both accounts (because they provide no value, and I don't want to waste hard-drive space on them)
oh look, I (finally) noticed that @bandconditions bot had stopped working.
It's back now!

Hi, i ' am Lucky Llou from Germany. I'm still trying to figure out how this works but...its no rocket sience i think.
my main interests are: optimize reception conditions in difficult urban environments, #sdr #bcl #swl #shortwave #mediumwave a little bit hamradio but not so much cause of antenna restrictions. My dog and making music. I will update my account the next days with avatar and so on. Until then '64 +/- 9

Neat didn't know there was an SSTV thing going on. From ariss.org:
SSTV Event planned for Early August
ARISS News Release No. 19-12
July 30, 2019
ARISS plans to celebrate the life and accomplishments of astronaut, scientist and ham radio pioneer Owen Garriott with a commemorative SSTV event featuring images from Garriott’s work with ham radio during his missions in space. This event is currently scheduled to begin on August 1 at 09:40 UTC and ends at 18:15 UTC on August 4. Please make note that the content of these upcoming SSTV transmissions may change. An update is expected after Friday, July 26 as to what the image content will be for the August 1-4 dates. If this change takes place, the Owen Garriott image transmissions will be postponed until another event can be scheduled toward the end of August.
Transmissions will be sent at 145.800 MHz FM in the SSTV mode PD-120. Once received, images can be posted and viewed by the public at http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php and you can receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting your image. See https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/ for details. Also for simplicity, we have added a new information tab for SSTV events, under the General Contacts pulldown menu at www.ariss.org . The latest updates can also be found at the ARISS Facebook site Amateur Radio On The International Space Station (ARISS) and on Twitter @ ARISS_status.

@M0YNG Hi Christopher et all
I'm just an average "non technician" ham, building stuff for fun and profit. Except some intrument and measurent gears, 100 % of my radio station is home brewed, mostly with #SDR : Hermes Lite V1, V2, red pitaya based rig... next projects are an Odyssey V2 and an Angelia board, built from component level.
Everyone, please welcome @f6itu!

If you want people to find your public posts on Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, there's something important you need to know:
📣 USE HASHTAGS!
For privacy reasons, the only way to search for posts on here is by hashtag. If you don't include tags, no one will see your post in searches.
Hashtags have to be spelt exactly, so #MastoTip and #MastoTips would bring up two separate sets of results. Include multiple tags if you're not sure.
