I keep seeing #HamRadio antennas using all sort of huge devices to create links between band segments. Alligator clips. Wago blocks. Mueller clips. Mostly with the antenna wire tied to something stiff that makes it hard to roll up neatly, rather than using flexible cord. I keep looking for and not finding examples of my approach to linking.
My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

Growing up in the 80s, my mom was a board member of a 2nd-wave feminist bookshop in Atlanta, so I thought all bookstores were queer-friendly, feminist spaces
As the funny fad of the Internet started to take off, I naturally assumed — for literally months, in the early 90s — that "Amazon" was an online lesbian separatist bookstore in the vein of the Whole Earth Catalog.
In retrospect, my imagined reality was SO MUCH BETTER than what we wound up with
