KH6OWL has set up a website that displays a sample of the most recent Slow
Scan TV still-image pictures which he has received from across the world on
the 20 meter ham band on 14.230 MHz. Quality varies with signal reception
for images in analog format. He has AUTO-SLANT turned OFF in the MMSSTV
software, so you will see the pure reception of recieved SSTV signal on his
site.



The site displays the 12 most recently received signals. Thanks to Larry,

2016 is the 20th anniversary of my, ahem, legendary A Hams Night Before

Moores classic Christmas poem.



I wrote it for my local radio club and performed it live at their December
1996 holiday party. I dont remember when it hit the Internet, but within a
few years it went a little viral as text. Around 2003 I recorded the poem
in a studio, and it ran on Newsline and ARRL Audio News. Then I...

Messy Desks is the way we do things around here.



With so much stuff that ends up in your shack, how do you ever get anything
done and how do you overcome the space problem, that is, "I dont have

This week I look at my own desk and throw away some accumulated cruft to

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the 7000+ stations
who worked my good friend Jim, VA3MPG while on his 12 month Tour of Duty in
Haiti with the RCMP doing humanitarian and drug enforcement service.



He has landed back in Ontario and is quite happy to be home. Haiti is a
volatile and violent place.



We had our difficulties throughout it. With radio gear breaking and his
tech support being myself in Ontario. No parts available to Jim, and also
the difficulties of stuff...
