A friend's venerable Sony ICF-2001 has crossed the radio bridge, beyond repairability, forever silent. He is now shopping for a similarly capable replacement. I've suggested he look at models from Sangean, Eton, Tecsun and CCrane. Any individual units among these worthy of a long look, or particular...

I even got into a rather pointless discussion with a young friend who decried the need for cable since "we just stream over wifi". She was not able to understand that her "wifi' got to her home via cable. That's all a bit more confusing now, with T-Mobile's home service, basically a "hot spot" whic...

Darnell with MDOT camera showing a nearly empty 696 near Gratiot: "Traffic volumes are starting to pick up here!" I literally saw four cars total in the shot. Holy crap does this guy suck at his job. I see that a lot on everyone's traffic casts. Reporter telling us how traffic is backed up or not m...

The last hotel room I stayed in did have a clock. Come nighttime, Its blue-green LED display shone with the light of a thousand suns, and I could not find a display dim or cut switch or control. I ended up simply putting one of those dozen extra throw pillows in front of it. I couldn't just unplug i...

If solar max will be poor , the next few cycles...I will have to spend my nights on the lower HF bands and sleep all day ! 160, 80 and 60M are not very different when Sol is lazy. :lol: Bless you if you plan to be with us for "the next few cycles!" I don't have anything up for 10. I know a group of...

Is it really that difficult to pot up Rob Wolchek's mic while muting the anchors' mics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cOGRJmtRig Every dang time the anchors toss to Rob, his voice is picked up by the anchors' mics, and then the audio person is late to Rob's mic. Every. Single. Time. With news st...

I just had to go through the renewal dance with SXM. My 1-year pricing term expired on Feb 22 but I didn't get a notification, and for some reason I hadn't flagged it in my Calendar app. I saw a shockingly big SXM billing for this month on my credit card account, and realized that they had, as they ...
