just had to share this rather obvious sat pic i took of the west-coast-bubble. no, not the liberal cultural bubble, but the insanely resilient high pressure that’s dominated the west conus for many years now what should be only a summer seasonal. can you see the clear high pressure bubble in this pic?

the ISS has been singing SSTV pictures of Yuri again. Caught these just using the microphone and the radio turned up a little, old school “audio coupling”, with full loud stereo and shop going in background. gotta love that error correction in the PD modes……

low wire loop antenna
had to see what would happen to disguise an HF horizontal loop antenna as an animal electric fence. center is 7.8mhz, with dips all over. great shortwave listening. decent 40m transmit. just works 80m transmit. autotunes on 20m, but no contacts yet.
