I just received this #eQSL from shortwave pirate radio station BoomBox Radio for their broadcast last night - thanks!

I got tired of the tinny sound from my computer monitor speakers, so decided to hook the computer up to my old stereo. Sounds great! Bonus lava lamp included.

Personally, DS9 was my favorite Star Trek series. It wasn't afraid to show you how the sausage is actually made.

California should extend Diablo Canyon nuclear plant’s lifespan to address state’s energy needs OPINION: California’s last remaining nuclear facility, scheduled to be shuttered in four years, provides 17% of California’s clean, carbon-free electricity.

California needs to avoid the mistakes Germany made. Rather than closing Diablo Canyon, they should more 5 more zero CO2 emission nuclear power plants.

Google judge Nathan Milliron, you won't be disappointed.

"But everyone has a smartphone or internet and they always work in disasters!" 🤦‍♂️

I'm trying to decode some GMDSS transmissions. There's activity on the signal graph, the messages are getting decoded with counters incrementing, and they're even going into the database, but not getting displayed. I'd complain to the guy who wrote the app, but...

Ages ago, you'd sent a report to a maildrop along with a few postage stamps or $1, they'd fwd your report to the op, who sent the QSL to the maildrop, who then mailed it to you. Took ages. And there were issues with a certain drop operator DOXing ops & listeners. Emailed images are better all around

...which I finally found after 238!!! boxes. At least it's in nicer condition than the first, and an upgrade.

Two Buffalo nickels, 1923 and 1926, and a 1938-S Jefferson, only the second I have found, and the last coin I needed for the series...

And here's the #eQSL for the relay of shortwave pirate radio station Elbows Up Radio - thanks!

FYI @popshopradio.bsky.social

A (presumably) American shortwave pirate radio station is relaying (presumably) Canadian shortwave pirate radio station Elbows Up Radio. They just signed on 6935 AM, with a good signal here in Westminster MD USA at 1136 UTC.

Steam billows from Michigan nuclear energy plant, marking a restart milestone Steam billowed from Palisades nuclear energy plant on Monday, March 30, for the first time in years, as temperatures inside were raised to operational levels.

This is great news, another reliable 24/7/365 nuclear power plant with zero CO2 emissions coming back online!

Maybe Germany can restart theirs, since they're running low on energy. Oh, right... they demolished their nuclear power plants 🙁
