there's a lot of variety out there. you can spend your entire ticket dorking out on digital modes (esp if you go for general+ and have access to lower bands) like FT8, FT4, Olivia, WSPR [0] to see how far out you can get on as little power as possible and so on.

Or if you want to ease into it, you can get a ham radio w/o a license, or cheap SDR and try to receive and decode weather sats, etc [1]

making tiny WSPR boards and things like APRS [2] interest me more than ragchewing or nets on 40 or 80 meters most of the time

yea this is ridiculous, they have lied through their teeth about what happens on Android. tho of course its probably half clueless negligence or a missed change, half not caring. all the same

disabling notifications on apps goes a long way. and they all clearly hate it and bug you to turn em back on constantly

if i start one up and want to link a friend late to the party, would this make it so they cant join? how does this work

yes ive done this recently with both spi and i2c. it works with modules, the hardest part for me was finding the right way to create the device tree so eg, my module got the spi bus over spidev. same with i2cdev if you are not using userspace
