200 mW WSPR beacon spotted from the Far North. The antenna is a Comet CHA-250BX mounted very low to the ground. Not the best on 80. Thanks to the International WSPR beacon project by Roland HB9VQQ. docs.google.com/presentation...

I used to drive my XYL nuts with my pensive moods on Sundays before work and ESPECIALLY starting a few days prior to vacation end. Once I was in the thick of the crises at work, I was fine. Controlled chaos was my happy place, I guess. πŸ˜‚

I would say opportunities to fail are opportunities to learn. β€œSuccess” is how you define it.

Before retirement I used to get the Sunday anxiety waves. I faced known issues and of course the arbitrary shit I just couldn’t anticipate. I used every experience to learn and improve. GL on Monday!

Back in olden times when eQSL was still wet behind the ears, one day I made a mistake and blindly confirmed several stations not in my log. I was lazy, coz eQSL didn’t matter much. Soon after I got email requests saying, β€œHey, you confirmed eQSL but I need LoTW!” That’s when I figured out the scam.

I’m pretty sure it’s simply provocation, hoping Venezuela reacts to maritime attacks on its civilians in a way they can use as pretext for war.

I hate this paradigm. And frankly, I’m tapped out. What little discretionary money I have had usually goes to stuff I find essential. Drip, drip, drip subscriptions are avoided. That doesn’t mean good folks with valuable blogs/substacks don’t exist, but I can’t sustain financial support to them.

I dealt with long covid for 2 years. Major suckage. Main impacts were brain fog, body aches, and almost zero energy at times.

Warning: Larry Ellison and the Authoritarian Dream Trump Wants Him to Build How One Tech Titan Became the Most Dangerous Man You’ve Never Voted For

Larry Ellison believes more surveillance makes β€œcitizens behave.” Trump believes it makes subjects obey. The danger isn’t what Trump tweets. It’s what Ellison builds while nobody’s watching.πŸ‘‡
