General Radio Discussion / Re: FCC enforcement website

God they really screwed up viewing what happened recently.  You can stop loading the page after a tenth of a second or two and still see what happened recently before it switches view.

If you are too slow you get the dumbed down tonka toy view but you can zoom in on a map and see enforcement items.  That is the only improvement.

If you have $400 burning a hole in your pocket get a Wellbrook loop.  I had great results way back with my R8 just running a chunk of very thin wire up the wall and around 3/4 of the ceiling corners.  It always was quite good as long as you had some chunk of wire at least 20 feet long even on the first floor ceiling.

I've seen that lots of times on portables. Maybe you become part of the ground plane.  Like touching rabbit ears on ancient 1970 TV.  HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

Prions Schmions.  If they were as good a propagating as they should be, it would be a black hole-esque experience worldwide.  I still have one more Rose pork brain can on the shelf.  I'll need to look for another recipe.  Or let the cat gorge on them.  Maybe sausage bacon and brains mmmmmmm.

I too would rather build something, but I knew buying a well rated little box would be so much faster and considering my time way cheaper.  Just get a Par BCST-HPF.  It destroys everything under 1800.  Toggle switch too.

Bacon, BBQ, Beef, And More / Near Zero Carbs! Pig Brains n Eggs

« on: November 11, 2017, 1608 UTC »

Ingredients:
1 can Rose pork brains
1 rounded tablespoon lard or butter
3 eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
salt and pepper-I use more than usual

Melt butter/lard in skillet
Dump can of brains in on medium to medium-hi heat and cook 5 minutes until liquidy goodness is reduced a bit
Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl and dump in
Scramble until done and serve over toast and add some more salt and pepper

It is like scrambled eggs with a bit of minced sausage added and it provides over a full month supply of cholesterol (~3500 mg)

and then in the late 90s I had some SLF screensaver photo on my PC and a vendor guy says 'Oh SLF yeah i partied with Jake and fucked some chick that gave me hepatitis around that time' and he was having a real hard time with the peg-interferon shit.  Felt like he was dying but that was the best treatment.

Had this as well in IN.  Good signal.  Vietnam song then Country Joe then seemed to go quiet.  Started tuning elsewhere after a minute then came downstairs to type this so who knows may have come back maybe not.

Wow.  I had an R8 first version around 1990 and it was awesome until I moved into a house with massive noise so I sold it 5 years later.  I mean all it needed was a 20 foot chunk of wire looped around the top of the room and you could hear all the pirates and weak halfway across the world stations.  Who knows, maybe in need of some new caps after a few decades?
