Jake KF0ARE<p>Here's my <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> to hams.social! I moved from mastodon.radio to my own self hosted server then to here. The fun of maintaining the server wore off.

Bud Talbot<p>Ah <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a>. I am a Christian, but I don't broadcast my religion on <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/JS8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JS8</span></a> . The first part said "pray to Jesus and be saved". </p><p>And he is not in QSO with anyone. Just broadcasting.</p>
