Tom - KB9ENS's Bio
Hey viewer of my bio. I simply cannot be bothered to set up multiple masto accounts. No guarantees this will stick to any topic in particular. My Bookwyrm (fedi g00dreads) is farmertre@bookrastinating.com
A #ham ... since 1990. Military space stuff by day, being a #dad, #sota, and #hamradio in the spare time. #arrl life member.
All models are wrong, some are useful.

One of my side hobbies is transcribing documents in the online catalog of the US National Archives under their #CitizenArchivist program.
For instance today I attempted to type up this 1813 Letter of Marque issued by President Madison from the war of 1812. It's fun to get to read these primary sources and contribute a little by transcribing them which makes them more findable.
Don't agree with my transcription... join in and fix it.

#introduction for non #hams
Look... my main hobby is #hamradio which is all about making magic radio pixies fling off of wires and catching the pixies others fling around. It's a big #hobby with all kinds of #fun things to learn and explore.
I also do other stuff like read #history and #scifi, #hike up mountains, use #oxfordcommas, and ride my #bicycle to work. I'm also a #dad of a 10yo human and a #husband. Life's hard and too short... I try to be #nice and #learn while I'm here.

Excited for the upcoming SoCal #SOTA camp out in the Mojave this weekend. Details over on the groups page for any #HamRadio OPs interested. Magnificent desolation out there… https://groups.io/g/SoCalSota/topics
