That’s got to be a great photo, too!

The tide swings can get pretty large in any season on the bay; there’s also wind-effect tides as well. This photo could be nearly anywhere, my guess is just conjecture from seeing what looks like brackish water and a dilapidated covered dock.

I’m willing to bet somewhere on the Chesapeake.

Evil DMs keep two color-identical D4s, one with numbers up and an evil one with numbers down, and they’re the only D4s allowed on the table. When directed to roll a 1D4, it’s drawn blind and rolled. The hopeful see what they want before their faces give way to crestfall.

A fight to your death it is, then.

The triangular shape naturally draws our eyes to the pinnacle. Bottom-numbered D4 are evil and should be banned.

However you go about it, keep it simple. If it’s complicated or a chore to do, compliance will likely fall off and you might not maintain it.

I do the YMD thing with folders, but fail to do the text file; it’s not a deal killer for me, but there are times we have to figure out what on earth we were doing. We can get a lot of contextual clues from the photos themselves. Depending on what you’re shooting, establishing shots can be really helpful.

Folders get YYYY-MM-DD, files get whatever they get. A simple text.txt file get placed in each folder describing the photos of that day.

Thank you for this suggestion. ARRL was my first stop, and then Radio Relay Int’l. As you mentioned, third-party traffic is the biggest limfac, which is exactly the second hurdle I bumped into.

For all our hurrahs for amateur radio use in emcomm, it seems to have fallen wildly short in the instance I needed to use it.

We have to find a better way, including the politics of it.

All fair points, and not an odd question.

I’ll say I’m trying to get a radiogram from the US to the destination country affected by a natural disaster. I am confident they are fine, but public service can take some time to get restored and I’d like to get a simple message to them so we can establish a very basic two-way via radiogram. The first message from me to them is a “this is a radiogram and for as long as public utilities are unavailable, you can contact the ham who delivered this message to let me know how you are doing.”

I’m in a similar way that I can’t get on HF :/
