Occasionally, I ask my students what their favorite phone app is. By favorite, I mean the app they use the most. The answers are not what you would expect—if there is anything to be expected.

But what about me? It would be an exaggeration to call it my most-used app, but it's one I use […]

Russia wants to catch up with us and raise VAT to 22%. But of course Estonia has the stronger economy: natural resources, industry, all that stuff ...

A bad summer for apples. As for pretty much everything we grow outdoors here. A bad summer. It was much too cold when the blossoms should have been pollinated.

Only one of our six trees is bearing fruit. It's the big old one that I've posted about before, dating […]

Für Sergei Wiktorowitsch Lawrow - Held der Arbeit und angeblicher russischer Außenminister - kam das Treffen in Anchorage offenbar doch zu plötzlich. Auf die Schnelle war leider kein sauberes Sweatshirt zur Hand und er mußte tief in die Mottenkiste greifen. (Letzteres sind wir allerdings von […]

#IOTAcontest #hamradio #amateurradio

I'm checking my log from last weekend's IOTA Contest before submitting. There's a dramatic decline in multipliers compared to the last time (2023) I participated: -28%.

Who is to blame? Propagation? Wrong tactics?

I could […]

Lot's of hassle to get the SWR on my antennas right. Old antennas but new mast, new hight, new location. But I think, I'm ready to go.

EU-034 - mainly 20m and 40m. See you in the contest!

On my way to the 62nd Estonian Hamfest. This time it's taking place close to me - only 45 km as the crow flies, but of course there's the sea in between. This takes some of the fun out of the journey, because I like to travel slowly through landscapes that I rarely […]

"Das ist die Drecksarbeit, die Israel macht für uns alle." Friedrich Merz

Das war leicht vorauszusehen: Wenn Trump erst die letzten Spuren von Menschlichkeit aus der Politik ausgetrieben haben würde - dessen konnte man sich sicher sein - würden auch in Europa jegliche […]

I am literally moved to tears: In an act of true generosity Putin is ready to willingly sacrifice something he doesn't have. How can Zelenskyy possibly turn that offer down?

Already tomorrow, Saturday April, 19th:

ES-Open HF Championship 2025

Perhaps not the most fortunate of dates (due to the Easter holiday), but it is early in the morning (at least in Europe), short (4 hours) and crisp. Maybe you can fit it into your day […]

Saksamaa jaoks muutuvad ajad veelgi raskemaks. "Ekskavaatorid peavad töötama ja faksimasinatest tuleb loobuda", tsiteerib ERR Lars Klingbeili (SPD). Eelkõige viimane tähendab kahtlemata suurt ohvrit.

Please Turkey, show the world that you don't have to be written off - like the US. Go strong!

90 years ago today on March 1 the Estonian Radio Amateurs Union #erau was first registered. It was only 5 years later that it had to stop its activities as the Soviets were occupying the country.

Let's see if my eyes will witness the 100th anniversary.

Cheers!

Vance: "Mr. President, with respect, I think this is disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office try to litigate this in front of the American media."

Trump: "We gave you through this stupid president 350 billion Dollar."

For the US public this may be usual entertainment, but not for Europe. Normally we would be shocked, but not this time. This time we might be out of our minds. I have slight hopes that Trump is doing everything wrong and that the world is turning against him. Everyone can now feel screwed and […]

I have the feeling that #emacs development has become too fast for me to keep up. I just switched off native compilation in 30.1 for the moment as it has been clogging up my cpu for days and I have no time to look into it.

But: If I stick with an older version of emacs, I'll get into trouble […]

Da muß #openai jetzt unbedingt etwas unternehmen: #deepseek hat das eigene LLM mithilfe eines fremden Produkts trainiert. Ohne Einwilligung! Und ohne überhaupt zu fragen!! Wenn das jeder machen würde. Wo kämen wir da hin?
