A Word from the Future?

Both Grady (chief coder and guru at our www.nostracodeus.com project) and I are wondering why the words “Washington” and “flash” have started appearing around one another lately?

2017: The Countdown Begins–24 Months Tops

2017. Earlier this week, I asked readers to submit their opinions as to which of our articles have made the most difference in their lives – and would be suitable for submission in annual “column writing” competitions. So to start the year off, here’s a recent article from our subscriber side, www.

Coping: With a Cranky Sun

If not, take a gander at this video over here… In the meantime, just to keep things in perspective, from a radio communications standpoint this is a tiny event. The idea is that what we have had so far is an expectation of a small regional outage of some High Frequency (3-30 MHz) operations on a small part of the Earth’s surface.  Compared with “real-deal” EMP (think Starfish Prime here, which blew out lights in Hawaii 800-miles away) this is a tiddler to be sure.

If I seem a little bit distracted over the next couple of months, there’s a simple reason for it: I’ll be spending some extra time on eBay looking for the next tube type radio to repair for this coming winter DX season. DX is ham radioese for distant or distance. And in the winter, especially after the holidays when there’s little besides “formula” television offered in media, nothing beat a tube-type radio, a hot cup of cocoa, and a large low-band antenna set-up.

Down to the joys of summer, at least when the sweat dries off, around here. The humming birds were humming like the little guy to the right, the occasional piercing pain of sinuses acting up from a ton of mowing and such. And for those wondering, the June bugs were starting to decline in number down at the hangar where our old airplane is still being held hostage by paperwork with the FAA. Several people wanted to know, however, if putting down $30+ worth of peppermint oil would actually repel the June bugs. I don’t know about other varieties of June bugs, but the ones in our area don’t seem to care about a) peppermint oil, rosemary oil, garlic, or that $25 “ultrasonic pest repeller.
