I hold a current Amateur Extra License (Ham) although I’m not real active these days. Lots of fun but not much time for it. When I was a kid I used to shoot a lot of skip on CB Sideband. My dad put up a small beam antenna next to the house by my bedroom so early evenings when the conditions were just right I could talk all over the US. Being in California by the coast I’d occasionally get Australia. Even Alaska sometimes. Shooting skip is largely dependent on sunspot activity. At the peak of the cycle you almost talk anywhere on a metal coat hanger, lol. |

Early Black Friday sale... picked up an Anker 27,650mAh Power Bank and 100W Charging Base for $139... saved $95. Plan to take this on business trips, so it should provide plenty of power while at the airport.  |

Just released... Anker SOLIX C200 DC Power Bank Station (60,000mAh) 192Wh. It's currently on sale for $109.99... saved $60. This little power bank should be more than enough to charge phones while camping and during extended power outages. You can find more info the C200 or other Solix products here. |

Put up a dipole for 10m and have fun. |

  Change of seasons that means a touch of maintenance. Air Filter and Wiper blades. I am looking to do the cabin filter and maybe even upgrade my headlights. Yeah. Taking ownership of my car. Silly paying too much for someone else to do it. |

Moved to LA in 1954 and became KN6MPG. No interest by friends, other students so I lost interest too. ☹️ Russ |

This is a cool little device. llano 2-in-1 NP-FZ100 Fast Camera Dual Battery Portable Charger for Sony It can charge two Sony camera batteries in 2 1/2hrs from its internal 12400mAh USB-C power bank. It even looks like a little camera  Promo coupon 20% off ... I paid $93 on Amazon!  They have another version that's just the charger with no internal power bank. And you can get it with two llano Sony batteries for $129. |

Looking at Rhino’s site, there’s a bunch more that look interesting. My problem is if I buy one and like it I’ll want all of them. This I why I have over a hundred Mobile Fidelity gold cd’s, SACD’s and albums. I’m still buying ‘em. While I enjoy and listen to them a lot, my “want” vs. “need” gig gets expensive. Lately I’ve invested in some UHQR albums at $150 a pop. |

 Bringing back AKM in my place. Kind have been the ESS fanboy. The Topping E70 Velvet AKM4499ex DAC. Price is not scary either. For my Sound Devices and Zoom, Tascam or whatever I send it too. May still get the EXT90 input expander later. |
