Me??? I still write long-hand to old, extra, notebooks. One, for a dupe-sheet of pretty much general observations, in pencil , and a penned notebook of kept loggings. The only, somewhat, problem that I have always had with this is that my Spell Check doesn't seem to work in long-hand. Hmmmmmmmm...

« on: October 22, 2023, 1730 UTC »
Sounds like it would be neat, but FREQ programming and memory storing via a card, doesn't make me want this. https://swling.com/blog/2023/10/the-sony-icf-sw800-a-most-unusual-sony-radio/

VID from ALPB: https://mbcf.boards.net/thread/3104/radios Hmmmmmmmm... Don't see why this also wouldn't work on the newer Radio Systems version. Does it take out the Phantom Phase MOD?

https://swling.com/blog/2023/09/martin-builds-a-simple-ferrite-rod-to-inductively-couple-radios-to-his-external-mediumwave-antenna/ This looks a lot more portable than that godzeye antenna that I've built a decade ago. And yes, SWL'ing rip.

Amateur Radio / September VHF Sweepsteaks this weekend, 9/9 - 9/11/2023.
« on: September 04, 2023, 1842 UTC »
No Sporadic "E", but hopefully some 6M F2 propagation and maybe Aurora. https://www.arrl.org/september-vhf I still have to get that 3M SSB / CW beam up. Here, by the NE USA, it will be cooler then, so may not see too much Tropo Propagation. (Of course...)
