I'm planning to have a small transceiver hooked more or less directly up to an antenna, with a Raspberry PI also involved, to have a full packet radio TNC setup outdoors. Any suggestions for a good transceiver for this use case? :3 #AmatuerRadio #HamRadio #PacketRadio
What's a good kit radio to build for 2m? :3 #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

Trump finally apologizes for something - Yahoo News Canada
President Donald Trump has broken the habit of a lifetime and issued a rare apology, albeit not to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, for reposting a meme of them on Truth Social, despite facing intense pressure to do so.Trump caused uproar on both sides of the aisle last week by recirculating a video depicting the 44th president and his first lady as apes.
He deleted the clip but later told reporters aboard Air Force One that there was no reason for him to apologize because, in his opinion, he had done nothing wrong.
“No, I didn’t make a mistake,” the president said. “I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.”
Instead, the issue he did feel compelled to apologize over was his past endorsement of Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt after the official angered him by insisting on the bipartisan purity of the National Governors Association, an organization he chairs.
“When Kevin Stitt, the very mediocre (at best!) RINO Governor of Oklahoma, was losing his Election to a Democrat, primarily because he did a bad job, he called for my help. I Endorsed him, and he won,” Trump wrote on his social media platform late Wednesday.
“Sorry, my cherished Oklahoma, to have done that to you!”

Trump Sends Phishing-Style “System Alert” to Boost Donations - MeidasTouch News
Donald Trump’s campaign blasted out a late-night “Emergency Memo” claiming “external filters” were attempting to block communications from the president, warning supporters they must “manually sync” their accounts with a so-called “Secure Patriot Server” before the State of the Union.The email, sent under the banner “Team Trump – Emergency Memo,” included faux system language like “[SYNC REQUIRED] Account #28600” and declared, “Trump is floored. He can’t afford to lose another top MAGA Patriot during this year’s midterms.”
The urgent call to “SYNC MY ACCOUNT NOW >>>” does not lead to any technical fix or account setting. It routes directly to a donation page.

Furious Kennedy Center Staff Tear Into Boss Over ‘Stupid and Cruel’ Plot
Ric Grenell, the serial online troll Trump has put in charge of his Kennedy Center makeover, told its 2,000 staff in an email—seen by The Washington Post—that as part of the center’s two-year closure, jobs will be on the chopping block.The email, which also heralded a “total renovation of the building beginning in early July,” has rankled the already embattled roster.
“There is no way to read this message as anything other than preparation for mass layoffs and institutional contraction,” one anonymous staffer told The Post.
“The language of ‘renovation’ masks a leadership failure that has driven down ticket sales, donor confidence, and artistic participation. The crisis is self-inflicted.”
