Thom Clandy's Rimblow Six: Acid Trip

Nice! I didn't get those ones. I seemed to catch it at the end of its cycle.

Better version of the first one on the next pass.

First images from the latest ARISS event! #ariss #amateurradio #hamradio #amsat

Fun paying attention to the local rail, ship, plane and ham traffic.

The sunglasses look like googly eyes and I can't unsee it.

Film point and shoots can be just as fun for cheaper.

It's a lot easier for them to control them when the only jobs have low pay and the small town is run by the local good ol boys network of nepotism.

Successfully replaced and resiliconed in the internal speaker and the battery is somewhat holding a charge, so a small victory. 2M and 70cm has good signal reports. Still have to play with 6M and 23cm.

Spotted a Luna moth caterpillar on the trail while hiking. Fortunately it was okay and I carefully moved it into the plants along the trail.

Good to know!

I gotta get into packet. We've got a decent packet system in Minnesota.

0083 has a lot of tension in the plot involving secret nuke.

Yeah, definitely one of the more adult plots, and the awesome Kampfer.

Another HT to play with.
90s and 2000s sparkle plastic should make a comeback.

Are you using the Robot 36 app or mode? Sometimes the app was hit or miss until I locked it to just detecting PD 120.

Got another one!

Nice!

Moar Decodes. Less than ideal ISS pass, but better than nothing!

The study books by Gordon West and the Ham Study app are both fantastic materials.

You betcha. I even know a woman who primarily does Morse code!

First attempt decoding SSTV from the ISS with an HT and the Robot36 app. #sstv #amsat #ariss #hamradio #amatuerradio

post by James Spann TEXAS FLOOD: There are many questions about the tragic flash flood on the Guadalupe River late Thursday night and early Friday morning. The death toll is now over 50, including some children who were at Camp Mystic. Here are some key points about the warning process... *A flash flood watch was issued for Kerr County at 12:41a CT (just after midnight Thursday night). The watch mentioned isolated rain amounts of 10 inches, and stated "Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks." This followed a flash flood watch was issued earlier, on Thursday afternoon. *A flash flood warning was issued at 1:14a CT For Kerr County, which mentioned "life threatening flash flooding of creeks, streams, and rivers". *A flash flood "emergency" was issued at 5:34a CT for Kerr County and the Guadalupe River. *NWS Austin/San Antonio had five on staff during the event; normally two would be on duty. Extra staffing was planned before the event started. *This type of flash flooding on the Guadalupe River is nothing new. Similar events happened in 1998, 1987, 1978, 1935, and 1921. This year's event was related to deep moisture from a tropical system (Barry) that originated in the East Pacific and made landfall near Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, on June 29.

Social scientists will do much research on this in coming months and years. In my opinion one of the primary problems is the high number of false alarms; flash flood warnings that are issued with only minor flooding involved. This is also a problem with tornadoes in many parts of the country. I am very thankful locally NWS Birmingham leads the nation in lowering the false alarm ratio. One takeaway is the importance of having a NOAA Weather Radio at every home, business, and any place where there are large number of people gathered (like a camp on a river). I would imagine cell service is very spotty along the Guadalupe where the camps were located. NWR does not use cell service and will wake you up. The alert is very loud, and can't be missed. Again, I ask that you keep political rhetoric off the comment section here; left wing and right wing extremists are pushing false information and narratives are not close to the truth. Now is simply the time to support families that are suffering after the tragedy. We will have a long discussion on this event with the WeatherBrains crew tomorrow night. In addition to the audio podcast you can watch it live as well on the WB YouTube Channel: YouTube.com/weatherbrains precipitation map of the area.
