@dances_fish @maphumanintent I'm less concerned about the cost of eggs than I am the cost of beef and pork... $6+ per pound for 72/28 or 80/20 ground beef? Absolute insanity

@srsattern I can confirm if you have a bag of Whataburger sitting next to your lawn chair when out doing astrophotography in the middle of the night.. the majority of a pack will distract you while one lone coyote sneaks up from behind and makes off with it.

I've had a lot of wild contacts in 20+ years.. King Hussein.. researchers at McMurdo Station Antarctica.. Astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle back in the day and ISS.. I've had contact with 15 or 16 US Navy ships (cross band with them transmitting on Navy MARS frequencies and listening on an amateur radio frequency.. and vice versa) And many many more..

Third party agreements only really come into play if you're handling message traffic for a third party.. For one-on-one contacts with no formal traffic being passed there's no "banned" countries. The only countries that you can't communicate with are ones that have formally stated they want no contact with US stations or that don't allow contact via amateur radio at all (North Korea for example).

@wayofftheres JY1 is the amateur radio prefix for Jordanian ham call signs.. it was also the callsign used by King Hussein.. because why not? You're the king of a fucking country so who exactly is going to tell you no?
