## Who Am I
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hello, my name is **Dominic** and I maintain this website.
|
|
|
I am a licensed ham radio operator since 2019 and my callsign is **OE7DRT**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
My QTH is [**Längenfeld**], [Tyrol], [Austria]. The locator for that is [JN57lb].
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no permanent antenna setup at my home so I either operate portable somewhere
|
|
|
in the mountains or I sometimes push up my homebrew dipole for 20m as it does not
|
|
|
need much space on my small terrace.

Have a look at the pages under [/equipment/]({{< ref "/equipment/" >}}) for
|
|
|
an overview of the equipment that I use (or have used/had). :wink: I try to fill
|
|
|
these pages up with useful content but for now I'm happy to have a picture on
|
|
|
almost every item.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I publish new articles whenever time let me do it. As I am working 10h shifts a
|
|
|
day on a building site I am quite worn at the end of the day and I can't gather
|
|
|
myself up enough to go out in the field when I'm just hungry (and tired)

## Winlink
|
|
|
|
|
|
I usually participate in the following Winlink nets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [Winlink Wednesday](https://winlinkwednesday.net/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
> The original Winlink Wednesday is a weekly amateur radio digital
|
|
|
net where check-ins are accomplished by using the Winlink (global
|
|
|
email via amateur radio) system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> The primary purpose of Winlink Wednesday is to encourage the regular
|
|
|
use of the Winlink system among amateur radio operators by providing an
|
|
|
opportunity to expand their skills with Winlink, and to practice them
|
|
|
on a regular basis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think this summarizes the Winlink Wednesday pretty well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [WLNET-OE](https://groups.io/g/WLNET-OE)
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a german speaking net currently maintained by Patrick, OE1LHP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To quote the groups.io description:
|
|
|
|
|
|
> This group is for announcements and information concerning the Winlink Net "WLNET-OE".
|
|
|
It represents some kind of Blackboard for those who want to participate and learn about
|
|
|
the use of Winlink in not only emergency communication situations.
|
|
|
Amateur radio operators from in and outside of Austria are encouraged to join the sessions.
|
|
|
To be clear: everyone is welcome, but keep in mind that the primary language will be German.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [FFWN](https://w0rmt.net/ffwn/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I'm not so active on Mastodon (in terms of writing posts) but I
|
|
|
occassionally participate in the net when I find the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also to quote the website:
|
|
|
|
|
|
> For those operators who are active on federated social media (the “Fediverse”;
|
|
|
i.e., Mastodon), there is a weekly Winlink net called the #FediFridayWinlinkNet
|
|
|
(or #FFWN). Any amateur operators are welcome to check-in and participate, and
|
|
|
also to take turns serving as net control! And be sure to follow #FFWN on Mastodon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Find out more by following the hastag [#FFWN](https://mastodon.radio/tags/FFWN)
|
|
|
(example link -- follow it on an instance that you like/prefer).

## About this website and its server
|
|
|
|
|
|
My website is a **personal storage** of a set of information about many
|
|
|
**different things** -- mostly about **amateur radio** and **linux**'isch
|
|
|
computer stuff. The main goal of my blog is for my **personal usage**.
|
|
|
That is because some articles may not explain everything -- I hope I can
|
|
|
reproduce a working setup (for me) with all the steps provided in these articles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I could have saved some links in my bookmarks, right? Well, I have. But I do
|
|
|
that now for a long time and it sometimes happens, that one or another link
|
|
|
becomes unavailable and hosting my own set of information does not result in
|
|
|
these situations in any way. As long as I'm willing to host them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can **use** the **information** on these pages for **yourself**.
|
|
|
Just keep in mind, that some of them may **not be objective** or even accurate.
|
|
|
The opposite is true. I fill them with **my opinions and experiences**; some
|
|
|
with solutions -- some not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
_Also, keep in mind that the information on my websites could go offline at
|
|
|
any time (although it is online since 2019 -- I used other domain names before though)_.

## Server location and networking
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've had a few websites running over the recent years, but when I got my
|
|
|
radio amateur callsign I started over with fresh content on `oe7drt.com`.
|
|
|
It was stored as a Github repository and published via Cloudflare.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I moved later to a cloud server from Hetzner running Rocky Linux 8 and 9
|
|
|
(which were both located in Finland) and I'm finally happy with netcup and my
|
|
|
OpenBSD server located in Germany. When I hosted my own gitea instance I left
|
|
|
the website repo on my server and create the website over there, when I now
|
|
|
create the website on my local laptop and push the files onto the webserver
|
|
|
just when I push new commits into the git repository on codeberg.
