Two discussions about radios and prepping this morning. First a discussion of basic receive-only antennas and basics of that. Then a real grown-iup discussion of radio transmitting antennas using dipoles versus off-center fed dipoles (OCFDs)

An updated Bitcoin forecast awaits in this morning’s report. It now looks like an Elliott Wave 1 down ended early this week, so our new “dead cat bounce” could take BTC to the $14,000 range next week. Meantime, we introduce a new game called Amazon HQ Roulette.

Much as George’s book “Dimensions Next Door” (available on Amazon) had been forecasting, there’s now been a breakthrough home “Maker” project of an antigravity levitator recognized by the IEEE this week…

Now that Bitcoin has lost more than half its value since the December top, we see it in general downtrend with today a “dead cat bounce.” Elsewhere, is a planned federal Sanctuary sweep in California likely to fuel a “second civil war?”

We’re all little “hype receivers.” This morning in Coping we talk about how to take-back control of that process.

Normally not something we’d post “in the clear” but please note the complete cover-up of the Bitcoin collapse in the co-opted Mainstream Media.  If the Dow Jones lost OVER HALF ITS VALUE in  a month, you don’t think that would be the front page splash?  (And they’d find a way to blame it on Trump, too, … Read More

To refresh:  The social hoodwinking of established web sites and creative content for all, began with the simple premise that if established websites (like Urban, for … Read More

There is no mail today.  Banks are closed.  The U.S. markets are closed…and what the hell am I doing up? Well, this is another one of those half holidays we talk about.  Fine time to introduce non-subscribers (to our Peoplenomics newsletter) to some sharper thinking than appears in the mainstream. Were it not for the pending … Read More

Prepping:  Here we go again:  The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for our area.  The weather, starting tonight, could be downright crappy for a couple of days.  Cold as hell, especially. By the forecast, we will get a spot of rain starting this afternoon.  Not normally a bad thing by itself.  … Read More
