It’s time to call in an expert. @HLC_actual , what does your missletism tell you? Anything to this?
Absolute humiliation for the Pentagon. An expert confirms Russia bypassed traditional air defenses by launching the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile straight into space. It deploys six independent warheads that change direction mid-air to evade interception.

There are people waking up in Xenia this morning with a headache, full of regret, and a trunk full of Baofengs. #HamRadio

The wonderful thing about shortwave radio is you get to work on classic, antique radios that pick up shortwave broadcasts. It’s a heck of a lot of fun and very satisfying to make 80 year, old electronic equipment, fully functional again. Try it folks and listen to WBCQ 📻📻🇺🇸

Hey @X , I dropped my iPad, fumbled for it, and when I picked it up I had a notice “reported spam”. Didn’t mean to, no clue who , can’t figure out how to unreport it.

Before powering up vintage vacuum tube gear it's worth checking if the silver-gray 'getter' spot has turned chalky white indicating a loss of vacuum. At best they will light up for an instant and fail, at worst they will damage your gear.

Forget the digital babble, radio is the number one audio listening source in the world. Shortwave radio is the number one way to get your message across to a worldwide audience. WBCQ is the station of free speech worldwide. Come on board,wbcq.com will tell you how.

Hallicrafters made six pieces of test equipment. I now have five of them! The only thing I don't have is the Hallicrafters oscilloscope. If anyone has one at a reasonable price let me know. Doesn't have to work.

Oops. I forgot about their volt ohm meter. So that makes 7 items, of which I have 5. Need the HM-1 too!

Some “new” books I got, all dated in the 1920s. The Radio Miracle… two books are different, one is the full book, the other is the “sales agent” copy, with about 1/3 the pages. I can’t imagine many agent copies survived, fun to think I might own the very last one.
