Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate it.

The soldiers dressed Him in a purple robe to ridicule Him. They gave Him a crown of thorns to wear, and they bowed before Him in laughing disbelief. Yet, soon He will return to Jerusalem as earth’s eternal King. One day soon, every knee will bow before Him, including those who stripped Him and beat Him. Christian, in your season of distress, or even of persecution, remember that we serve a King greater than Pontius Pilate, the Roman emperors, or any ruler today. His story did not end in the underground dungeons of Jerusalem, or even on His cross, but He is alive and ruling today! If you have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, please do so before it is too late.

Once upon a time in Europe, television remote controls had a magic teletext button. Years before the internet stole into homes, pressing that button brought up teletext digital information services with hundreds of constantly updated pages.

"A 15-year-old boy rescued two men who had fallen from an inflatable toy boat off the Isle of Skye by sailing his own vessel to save them, beating the lifeboat service to the scene."

“We’d like to remind people that blow-up inflatable toys should be kept for use in swimming pools and not open water, and to always ensure that you have lifejackets on and a means of communicating to the emergency services if you get into any difficulty,” he said.

The sewage at the Tijuana River has been an ongoing problem for decades, but it recently broke records for the amount of hydrogen sulfide gas that it’s releasing into the area, causing residents in the South Bay area of San Diego to suffer from migraines along with respiratory, heart and neurological problems. It has also closed the beach in Imperial Beach for over 1,000 days, crippling the area’s businesses and tourism economy.

What is the most powerful budget flashlight under $100.

And what do you consider a budget flashlight? I'm cheap and I don't like spending over $45 on a flashlight.

Pebble HF - Ultra-Affordable HF Radio for Anyone

There are limited HF frequencies that technicians are allowed to be on. I'll just say that you need to be a General or know what frequencies you are allowed to be on before you can use this radio.

Pebble HF: An Ultra-Affordable QRP Radio Kit with Big Potential! | Q R P e r

What I learned about this radio is there are just 14 through hole solder joints you have to solder and the rest of the hard work has been done for you. You have to get on the list for this 20-meter radio, and I heard they have a 40-meter radio in the works.

Let this post be inspiration for you to get your General license to get on HF if you haven't already done so.

The ag community is coming together to deliver relief supplies to areas impacted by the Nebraska wildfires. Donations for fencing and feed are currently being collected.

"The Austin N5OAK Ham Radio Club Repeater seems to be pretty active.  That shouldn’t surprise us much because the club has a lot of activities and a lot of enthusiastic members.  Still, we wondered just how active and opened the spare parts drawer to see if it held a solution."

"Turns out the spare parts drawer did; take a look at the wiring diagram at the top of the page.   We simply used an Espressif ESP32-C3 Dev Board with an input pin wired to to the output speaker of a Baofeng HT tuned to the repeater frequency.  We monitor the C3 input pin and if it sees a signal the repeater in transmitting.  We push that data to Adafruit IO at the top of each hour to graph the history."
