There have been quite a few news items, blog posts and tweets flying across the net lately. Here’s what I have been reading:
It looks like the FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is out and Julius Genachowski is in. I’ve only found “Julius is a good guy” articles without much detail behind them, so I guess we wait and see.
A company called CellAntenna wants to be able to sell cellphone jammers. I am totally in favor of it as long as I am the only one that gets one. I’d keep it in the car and jam all of the people driving while cellphoning (except for me, of course).
Check out this new cellphone from “Sumsing”, pretty funny video.
Interesting post from Kelly AB9RF about Why the Hell Would You Want a Ham Radio?
Jeff KE9V wants his QST electronically. I think he has a point.
Bruce Vaughan, NR5Q, from Springdale, Arkansas survived WWII with a few stories to tell. He loves to build radios and got an email from a musician that said he was in a band called The Eagles. Bruce invites him over to the house….turns out it is Joe Walsh.
Obama thinks we need to delay the shutoff of analog TV. He is wrong….time to go through the transition and deal with it. Rip the band-aid off quickly. (Did you notice that watching television is now a right guaranteed by the US Constitution?)
CQ Magazine embraces eQSL for their awards program. Jeff KE9V questions whether we are headed done the wrong path with electronic QSLs.
K3NG gives us a list of things to test Whether We Are Part of the Problem. Close call for me, as I do think saying 73s is dumb….but I don’t correct people on the air.
Good reading and 73, Bob K0NR
