Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.
I measured the dip in sun noise on 2.3GHz during the eclipse period, using my 2.3m diameter EME dish. A change from all the LF and HF measurements.

I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.
Spotted on some nostalgia page on Facebook, an AI masterpiece that I am calling 'How We Laughed On Our Way To The Burns Unit'
Knowledge grows when you ask stupid questions. Stupidity grows when you don't ask anything.
Just finished reading this wonderful book by #LyseDoucet on a beautiful calm sunny day on the #FenEdge. At times I cried while reading it, but such an important reminder never to forget what a charmed and easy life those of us fortunate to have been born in the UK, when were, have had. Thanks Lyse.
Picard management tip: Exercise makes you smarter. Don't just sit there thinking. Get up.
This year’s true #Eurovision winners are the countries that decided not to participate. Congratulations to them all.
In 1995, 14 wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.
Beautiful sunny day here on the Fen Edge. World crises survived? 1. Suez ✔️ 2. Cuban Missile crisis. ✔️ 3. Global Pandemic. ✔️ 4. Taco Tuesday. ✔️ Good to be still here
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
2of2 Someone on the IC9700 groups.io posted the same in 2025, but no fix. Anyone know how to fix this? Otherwise do @icomuk.bsky.social do repairs and who do I contact?

"We were just about to drop off when suddenly, 'tap, tap, tap' at the bloody window pane. We looked out, you know who it was?" "Who?" "Bloody Tim Peake."
Im sure it sucked in the 80s. Berwick speedway aside. However its reinvented itself as a somewhat middle class artisan town. And to be fair, it makes it a nice place for a day trip... but expensive. The food and drink is good tho, £7 Peruvian chocolate bars, less so.

Last week with the support of @goonhilly.org the UK ARISS team assembled and installed a new HamTV ground station to Cornwall to provide downlink for the School Contact at the Simon Langton Grammar School this coming Monday. This afternoon it provided first AoS of the HDMI Camera test!
