As expected, we are now in a fast solar wind stream from this highly irregularly shaped coronal hole. We are passing through the upper portion of the fast wind pocket, but active Region 4292, could cause highly variable wind. Aurora chasers watch for this bumpy wind. It could trigger substorms!

A sampling of stations worked on 10M/12M on Thursday October 16th 2025. Decent band conditions.

Here's a comparison between my Hexbeam antenna and my 240' doublet. The station is Ravi S79VU (Seychelles in the Indian Ocean). I had a QSO with him just before taking this short video. Very good band conditions today!

Hexbeam finally up! So far so good. It’s up about 40’. I’ll do more testing with it during the day tomorrow.

Hexbeam (K4KIO) installation coming along. Rotator installed and 34’ push-up mast in place. Mast is 3’ off the ground in the mini-tower, so a total height of 37’ (at the baseplate of the Hexbeam). The 20M elements will be 3’ above the baseplate for a total height of 40’ on 20M. #hexbeam #hamradio

For my amateur radio friends - here's a quick video I did of my new 240' doublet antenna using a remote antenna tuner at the ladder line feed point (ATU4K tuner from trueladderline.com).

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

Braedon: I come from a nation that believed in fascist ideology for a while. And we don’t want to go to that again. We are close to it because people want to simplify complex problems. The essence of fascism is to simplify complex problems and feed people who don't have time to read some bullshit.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

…staying at the Bodega Bay Oyster Company for the weekend - one nice thing about having an EV is that you can almost charge it anywhere. And often for free. 🙂

Shitler's cabinet nominees tell us how limited the scope of his associations are. Basically, it's extended family and people he knows from the TV. Quite pathetic.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
