MM0UHR reported an unusual error when updating Linux packages on GB7BKS
but it turned out to be a hostname issue. Nothing critical.
NinoTNC formware updates are available. MM0UHR has a recording of
applying a firmware update here:

GM0CQV got his COVID booster and is feeling good.
GM0NRT got a friend set up with DMR and they are having fun talking to
family abroad.
He has also been shotblasting his Hillman Imp with great success.
Everyone wanted photos of his setup! This led to lively interest in the
tools and protective gear and cross polination of understanding from
this to radio to rocket motors.
Oddly also prompted discussion of units as the flow rate was described
as "Standard cubic feet per minute" and the question of non-standard
feet. Everyone presented their favourite cursed unit from their various
industries.
GM0CQV asked about the webSDR in Dalgety Bay and if it was still
available. It is, it has just been updated to =C3=9CberSDR
https://websdr.scotlandchat.co.uk/
People are very keen to try that out.
MM0UHR is planning a SOTA outing for 4th of May to get a Star Wars
themed SOTA award.
MM0UHR will also be joining in with the Critical Mass bike ride on 25th
of the month. GM0CQV asked if that had anything to do with the World
Naked Bike Ride. It does not.
No sign of new city bikes in Aberdeen.
