As a thought, HamAlert has the ability to send alerts to a URL and Mastodon has web hooks so theoretically it should be possible to post from HamAlert to Mastodon.

I wonder if Delta Chat would work for you.

Litter box recommendations (midwest.social)
 

We are in the process of possibly adopting a cat or two for the first time. Wondering if anyone has any litter box recommendations. Looking for some combination of easy cleaning, not too complicated, and will keep the dog from snacking.

Is anyone here? in c/hamradio@lemmy.ml

I can't say for SOTA as I don't do that one myself. POTA is pretty easy. Register on pota.app, then take your radio to a registered park and make some contacts. Definitely easier if you have HF privileges, but possible on VHF if you are near enough to a major city. SOTA might be more possible on VHF due to the presumed elevation involved.

Parks on the Air or Summits on the Air really helps with this. A standard exchange is usually used so no need to think of what to say.
