I just watched HRCC&#39;s video on CW over UHF/VHF, using a lightly nodded Quansheng HT. <br/><br/>Has anybody here ever run a CW net on these frequencies? How does propagation compare to FM? #hamradio #morsecode 2025-09-12T14:16:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst0gm9luzh09xs845thuzws7ceks857muj8hlqgcydtju6tvctyugzyprnmvn94anu0x3377x3zmq2p5d6ezrql2j7pfgw9nprgv57jqzqu69874j Those of you who taught yourself to code at a young age, how old were you and what language was it, and on what platform?<br/><br/>How would you suggest replicating the experience for current or future generations?<br/><br/>For me it was BASIC at about 13 years old, but I think it would have been much sooner if I had regular access to a computer sooner. I started on a used Commodore 128D but ended up on a Laser Apple II clone.<br/><br/>#programming #retrocomputing #askfedi 2025-04-27T13:40:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqpc9f469gsskgukw7kjp3xe0snkfekampsxptumyqqr0xethq3zqzyprnmvn94anu0x3377x3zmq2p5d6ezrql2j7pfgw9nprgv57jqzquxhn362 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst6p7s6xrdlz4admyrwn0lfy90yuswrsd6qw4puk9hgg7e8wng4rsqegu9r'>nevent1q…gu9r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I went to *try* to implement a very simple interpreter on the virtual C64. I&#39;ll have it listen for input over RS-232. There should be a way to bind a TCP port to the virtual RS-232 port. Then, from the Linux host I can pop open a terminal window and telnet to the virtual C64 user port. It will be expecting input. I pass it text and it should store, fetch, or execute as instructed. <br/><br/>Better?
