Have you ever read the first constitution of the United States? This portion of the Articles of Confederation may provide insight as to the context of the second amendment. I just think it’s interesting to note that it provides no provision at all for individual ownership of firearms. 🤷♂️

One of my backburner projects has been partly fulfilled. That was to have a simple weather base station outside of the house that takes local readings (temp & humidity). It sends its data via RF to a clock. I intercept that signal and decode it. Less reliance on internet weather data is better!

It may be possible to see more auroras tonight as the night goes on, but it’s already way too late for me. Time for bed! 📸

KP index is 6.67 right now. Probably a good chance of seeing an aurora tonight!

Don’t buy a Baofeng UV-5R. Get a Quansheng UV-K6 and put EGZUMER on it. You’ll be so much happier. What a fun radio to take on the go! I checked into PSRG’s noon net from the waterfront today with this stealth Nagoya NA-810 antenna. I’m told I was heard loud and clear.

I’m pulling in 3/4 of a gigabit today over WiFi on my iPhone. I’m just trying to picture how I’d have explained this to myself in 1999 where all I had was a 33.6 dialup modem. 🤯

Just did a quick signal check. With my 5-watt Baofeng UV-R5, I do get picked up by the PSRG repeaters. So that’s something! I was worried I wasn’t going to see anything at all from here in Leschi.

Went to the Rick Steves rally today in my hometown. It was great fun – and saw some familiar faces there! ✊

The PEOPLE are the final check. I’m told there were around 15,000 people here with me today.

It cannot be credible in the face of so much insanity that the political force ostensibly charged with stopping a blindingly clear right-wing coup is only ONE POINT ahead in the polls! Lack of clarity in polling results leads to confusion about moral certainty: Are we mounting an honest opposition?
