Copied 2 episodes of @swradiogram.bsky.social this weekend: 0330 22 Nov from WINB and my usual 0800 24 Nov from WRNI. Near 100% text decode (100% from WINB, a few hiccups from WRNI) and the expected static bursts likely from using a vertical antenna.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, I pause to mourn and remember my transgender brothers & sisters whose lives were taken by violence. May we all reaffirm a commitment to make our world a safe and welcoming place for transgender, non-binary and Two Spirit people

When I’m feeling a bit under the weather (no pun intended) I tend to spend more time practicing radio techniques. Today I captured this GOES-16 image about an hour after it was taken

Take a moment to appreciate Harry Truman‘s negotiating skills. He got Hitler to surrender everything, agree to Germany’s occupation and then shoot himself in the head.
