Your Hobby
 

Since we have new member threads and what kind of music do you like threads, I though I'd start a, "Your Hobby" thread. I'll start.

I fly RC aircraft. Quads mainly. I've tried my hand at heli models but just couldn't find the handle. With quads the built in flight electronics keep them stable making them a real joy to fly.
My DJI Phantom just came in so I'm off to put that together and go flying.

Building computers, hacking my Android phone and tablet and riding my Ninja. I have always wanted to do some stuff with rc but just do not have the money. I would love to get one of these 4 blade drones with the camera. Awesome..

My main hobby is that of an Amateur Radio Operator. Call sign, K4GAP.

I've logged calls to and from the ISS, 2 space shuttle's, and over a thousand foreign contacts.

You actually spoke to them on the ISS/Shuttles ?

Digital audio.

Yes, lots of fun.

Wow, That is awesome!!

When I was a kid many back in the early 80's I was into cb radios. I had a big directional "Beam" antenna on the roof and everything. I really wanted to get into shortwave and ham but just never got around to it. Reading this about logging calls from iss really makes me regret not pursuing it more. I would have expected to log some international communications but never would have expected space calls!!

It's not to late to become a Ham. Morse code is no longer a requirement. You can take practice tests here. That site might require registration.

Cool. :cool:

Let me give you a little motivation. http://www.computervitals.org/attach...7&d=1380151014
