Just catching up on some of the fine information spewing forth from the Internetz.
I saw this video about a flying car. Yeah, I think I might need one, but only if I’m the only one. I don’t want the crummy drivers I see on the road flying around in the air.
See what happens when Hitler finds out he worked rare DX but did not show up in the log.
Here’s a higher quality ham radio video by my friend Steve, WG0AT. See Peanut, Rooster and the Alpha Goat operate from the summit of Mount Herman. It sounds like this may be the last Goathiker video for a while, so enjoy it.
Not to be left out, NASA posted this excellent video from the International Space Station (ISS). Colonel Doug Wheelock gives a fine explanation of what it is like on his end when working the earthbound pileup. Don’t miss this one!
Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI) has updated the Ten Essentials for wilderness travel. Whether you use the old ones or the new ones, give this some thought.
The ICOM IC-9100 inches its way towards being available for sale in the US. At least, I think it is. A fairly detailed product brochure is available on ab4oj.com. The latest word is that the radio will be available “soon”.
Yawn, wake me when it shows up.
Electronic Design magazine has a good tutorial on digital communications, including bandwidth, data rate and various forms of modulation.
