Ham Radio Prep new space course

I understand that this is the WRL forum and not for HRP, but since the two were founded by the same people I just wanted to ask a question:

Is the new course’s “face“ or “front picture“ or “whatever you want to call it“ generated by AI? Judging by the overall “feel“ and the direct microphone-to-antenna connection on the astronaut without a RADIO part.

Asking because

  1. I am curious
  2. The “AI takeover“ we are going through now is annoying me incredibly, not just because humans are getting kicked out and replaced with robots, but because it uses a lot of water and has detailed mistakes that make me want to scream into a pillow.

Thank you! 73!

We have a team member named Ryan who created that graphic. It’s not AI, just a way to illustrate ham radio in space. We recommend that astronauts wait until they are back in an airlock before they use external microphones. (LOL)

LOL, @N4BFR! To me, though it’s not necessarily meant to be, it feels like a bit of a cool callback to this moment with General Charlie Duke when he tries to blow the dust off a camera magazine while wearing his suit on the moon:

OK thank you! I have been seriously disappointed at finding out that a drawing that I like is AI quite a few times, so thank you for staying human!
