Cool, 30-85.996Mhz in 1kHz steps; FM and MCW. 12 watt RF output. Schematics. Easy to fix, but I suspect they all need recapping. 1980's radios are notorious for leaky capacitors.

Repair cost for a broken extension cord: $3 to $8 depending on the amp rating/quality of the new plug. #DIY It's literally a 2 minute operation to fix something like this, I just put two different ends on this to create two new extension cords.

A oak begins to fall in the hills. In human time. ...the ground shudders. Rocks roll down the hill. Something moves deep within the hillside. Leaves flutter, pebbles fly. The earth moves.

Yet, nearly everyone in Salt Lake City appears to be watering their (extremely large, extremely green) lawn like there's an infinite source of water. 🤔 I'm pretty sure the monthly water budget for the typical residential lawns I saw being watered there last week exceeds the yearly usage of my entire household in California.

#hamradio #SARNET amateur radio operator at an EOC in Florida SARNET saying they have 50 shelters, but not enough radio operators to staff them. SARNET has not yet been formally activated, but expected soon. #HurricaneIan #HurricaneIan radio operator (earlier) said he had booked a hotel (farther inland) to ride out the hurricane, but they cancelled his reservation (closing because of the hurricane)... so he is going to just sleep in his truck.

#Ian Piotrowski saying if you are between Sarasota to Tampa, now is the time to make sure you understand what you are going to do if evacuations are ordered (he thinks likely very soon), if power is out for a week or two on the western coast of FL.

Miami, Boca Raton looks clear of the wind, at least (will have rainfall impacts). Disney World, not so much. #Ian ImageImage Florida's hurricane evacuation zones are based on elevation (which is crazy annoying for GIS/mapping folks, btw.) - here's Tampa floridadisaster.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… Image
