Returned from Reading/London. Our great friend Rachel from Singapore brought us 2 kg of Bee Cheng Hiang Bakkwa. A sticky glazed BBQ meat treat to die for. Judicious rationing should get us through until our next trip in Feb '27.

Those jagged wooden panels on studio walls are not decorative. They scatter sound using a number theory sequence devised by Gauss and Legendre in the 1800s and the math explains exactly why they work.

Finally repaired the Longwire working well and matching from 160 to 10M Not a huge difference between this and the inverted vee on receive 1/2
Turn down your monitors by 20 dB and the bass seems to vanish. That is not your imagination. It is a documented property of human hearing that every mixing decision you make depends on.

De EU KIDS Act klinkt sympathiek: kinderen beschermen tegen verslavende social media. Maar wij zijn kritisch. Een draadje over waarom dit plan niet alleen voor jongeren verkeerd uitpakt, maar voor iedereen. 🧵

Your ear is faster than your eyes. High-WPM operators don't read Morse — they hear words. Train ear-first from day one and your speed compounds. That's the whole secret. #morsecode #learnmorse #cw https://morsekit.com

Had a bit of a faf reconnecting my Solar Activity Monitor to the new isp/modem and of course every time I switched off the modem I was assigned a new IP which killed my ADSB monitor. Sorted now. The SAM works the ADSB works and back in the 180-250 range where it should be. What a faf!
Now in its 10th year. An orchid given to us by a friend gets no love for most of the year but keeps on producing. My Tillandsias died years ago.
We changed Internet providers, got rid of the landline and bundled our phones, we now pay almost half the price. The change took place on Monday. This evening our original provider called to see if they could help us to stay with them? You couldn't write a comedy like it.
Every plugin that does oversampling runs a polyphase filter you never see. Here is how the math works, why it only matters for nonlinear processing and when that "4x oversampling" badge is pure marketing.

NASA released a bunch of 16 and 35mm film engineering footage of the Artemis II launch today. Naturally I knew what I had to do with it.
For the benefit of anyone who has ever had a brain fart. 40:1 two stroke mix is 1 litre of petrol to 25ml of 2 stroke oil. In my defence I use the ratio quite rarely, but I could not for the life of me do it in my head and trust it. I have written it on the fuel tank to avoid future embarrassment.

145Alive has come and gone @bigbernie.bsky.social and myself manned the furthest Western outpost of the activation. A few locals and a contact into Cornwall plus an Olympic quality dive for the mic when an EI popped up only to vanish. Some glitches but couldn't ask for a better activation buddy.
