While we’re waiting for the market to crater tomorrow… [May load slow due to length and a zillion graphics] This may be a bit on the “longish” today, so if you need to pee or get coffee…better do that first. We’ll wait for...

Why is it 4:15 AM and why is Ure running antenna models? The answer is simple: The end of summer is upon us. When the weather cools down, things here heat up. Hot coffee on a cool more, clear head, and a zillion ideas to run down. But first…. Goodbye Swamp...

If you were to drop by for a cup of coffee in real life – you wouldn’t be welcomed. We’re still “hot zone” mode out here. If you follow the virus numbers, looks like 18-million will be passed tomorrow. And 19-million this coming week. ...

My bad. I missed Ham Radio Field Day. It was last weekend. As happens the last weekend in June each year, amateur radio operators (include from our club in town) and my buddy The Major’s club is up in the Seattle area; he and some buds headed for the hills...

Reason to ask in an email from someone we know: “Is it just me, or is anyone else starting to take bets on if Facebook will survive this lockdown? I mean yeah, it helped pass the time and all in the beginning… but have you ever been stuck in a confined...

Had an interesting reader note come in: Basically asked if I could please do an article on communications (for the SHTF scenarios) that would be simple and no “diode this” and “Morse that…” Yup, guilty as charged. Why, if I got a...

I don’t know if this is really a “woo-woo” topic, an extension of what will be on Peoplenomics tomorrow, where we talk about grassroots dispersed manufacturing (as a disruptive technology)… Or, whether it’s another chapter in my book ...

No, you don’t need to know Morse Code to be an effective ham radio operator. SKN comes on New Years Eve. It’s “Straight Key Night.” We’ll get into that, in a second. First a pitch for learning Morse code. Light signaling (silently),...
