It’s curious to me how when I rely on the letter frequency code I get screwed, and when I DON’T rely on the letter frequency code, I get screwed πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

This reminds me of the β€œDelphi Boards” used by the government to set policy based on wagering in the book The Shockwave Rider. Somehow I could feel it coming

I was hit by the WRMI MFSK64 RxID bug so I didn’t get the decode, but the @bobcatface.bsky.social show sounded better on my portable radio this week than last

My experience is the new processor was being used on both 5850 and 5950 last night (didn’t decode the RxID to MFSK64 during Radio Catface @bobcatface.bsky.social either).

I missed the prediction on RxID. What was the reasoning?

Well written, and defines well the pendulum swing in behaviors over the past 45 years. Yuppies and β€œWall Street” takes over and runs with it.

Grateful though that there are still people who think beyond themselves. There are many of us

The good and the bad.

@swradiogram.bsky.social at 2300z 28 Feb on WRMI 9455 kHz. Best image I’ve received in a long time, but didn’t do the RFID switch to MFSK64. I received only this really clean image (and perfect MFSK32 decided text).

@devorahleah.bsky.social we have a small history. I was privileged to see your β€œFraudsters and Charlatans: The Problem of β€œFake News” on the Radio, 1920-1930”.

I’m also originally from Ohio and have a friend who works in Cleveland radio

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to compare to the Ford Pinto, a car so notoriously combustible that it has become a watchword for corporate greed. Let’s start with the data […]

Elon Musk's Cybertrucks said to be 17x deadlier than the explosive Ford Pintos of the 1970s. fuelarc.com/news-and-features...

Decent @swradiogram.bsky.social reception from WINB. A few character drops towards the end of the broadcast, but consistent with other receptions at this time/frequency.
