I'm not qualified to have a view on this, BUT, if a bully taunts you, and you do nothing - the bully gets braver.

Hopefully it will not be too wet for the launch, or for me to get up Great Orme ( SOTA GW/NW-070) but will be TXing on 439850 for #RSGBlora Balloon launch. If your tracker sees G0TQM-13 or -5 that's direct from me.

Also will tx G0TQM-2 on 4399125 #LoRaAPRS

I guess an increasingly non reciprocal relationship will generate in the aggrieved partner the idea of keeping score. Might be 'effect' rather than 'cause'?

Plastic boxed PCB containing a Heltec Wireless Tracker on 439.850MHz and a Li+ battery.  This is my tracker for the high altitude balloon event.  They are pretty cheap given what they do.

The Radio Society of Great Britain haven't a presence here yet. They are launching a High Altitude Balloon running LoRa-APRS rx:439.850MHz and they want folk to build trackers.

Labour havent gotten their stride yet. They keep launching 'tough' packages for the vulnerable without placing them in context of 'tougher' for the rich. Hence fifth columnists are picking them off!

Bit out of the blue. I suppose as a negotiating starting point it does kind of match the 'obliterate Israel' stance of the opposite side....

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

So #Trump has now started pulling scientific data off the #CDC website. #Trump is an enemy of science, progress and knowledge. His minions may applaud but it's back to the dark ages with these monsters. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

No one should comply with this order. It is censorship. #Trump is a tin-pot dictator and this is garbage. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
