Podcast appearances and mentions of Colin Thomas

GB2RS News Sunday the 22nd of February   The news headlines: RSGB 2026 Elections – Nominated Director candidates announced A year in numbers 2025 – a celebration of RSGB achievements Former RSGB President Colin Thomas, G3PSM, is now a Silent Key  In this year's RSGB elections, there are vacancies for two Nominated Directors. Following a rigorous selection process, the Society's Nominations Committee has chosen to put forward Graham Smith, G4NMD, and Patrick Wood, 2E0IFB, for endorsement. RSGB members will be able to vote to endorse these candidates when voting opens on Wednesday, the 18th of March. To help you learn more about the candidates, the RSGB has published two videos. The candidates weren't given the questions in advance and were interviewed separately. You can watch their in-depth answers in a single easy-to-view video, whilst the two-minute video provides their brief thoughts on RSGB membership. You can watch them on the RSGB YouTube channel and on its website at rsgb.org/candidates Amateur radio continues to evolve, and the RSGB, in turn, develops how it supports current radio amateurs and reaches out to new audiences. The RSGB General Manager, Steve Thomas, M1ACB, wrote his annual feature called ‘A year in numbers' for the March issue of RadCom. In it he shared some of the year's great achievements in which RSGB HQ staff have often led the way. Read the full feature and view the infographic on page 48 of the March edition. You can also see the highlights in a brief video on the RSGB YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Colin Thomas, G3PSM. Colin worked tirelessly for the RSGB and was President from 2008 to 2009. He made a great contribution to the acquisition and defence of the radio spectrum. Within Region 1, he played a leading role in the acquisition of additional bands, including 136kHz, 472kHz, allocations at 5MHz and the expansion of 7MHz. He also led the successful defence of existing allocations. IARU Region 1 radio amateurs owe him a huge debt. Colin was an Honorary Life Vice-President and a recipient of the Founder's trophy in recognition of his work both for the Society and for the IARU. A full tribute to Colin is being prepared for the RSGB website and for RadCom. The RSGB is reminding radio amateurs that the frequencies at 5MHz are only available on a secondary basis to holders of a UK Full amateur radio licence. Foundation and Intermediate licence holders are not allowed to operate on 5MHz. You can find details about this in the OFW611 amateur radio licence terms and conditions booklet, which is available from ofcom.org.uk, and there is also more information about operating on this band at rsgb.org/5mhz Are you passionate about attracting older people to amateur radio, while retaining and engaging our valued senior members?

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday, the 19th of February. We had a week of relatively low solar flux indices and mostly settled geomagnetic conditions. While the solar flux index fell to the 117 to 129 range, the Kp index was mostly in the twos and threes. This was after the weekend's geomagnetic disturbance, due to a large coronal hole that expelled solar plasma in a stream that moved past Earth at nearly 700 kilometres per second. As a result, HF conditions have been quite good with plenty of DX being worked. The KP5/NP3VI Desecheo Island DXpedition near Puerto Rico has been a struggle for many, due to its popularity and use of solar-powered batteries and low power. One quick hint: try FT8 on the 40m band around 7 to 7.30 am. You get a greyline enhancement at sunrise, but for much of Europe, the band is closing, which means there is little competition. Let us know how you get on. Other DX this week includes 8R1WA in Guyana. This is an Italian team operating until Friday, the 27th of February. Chuck will be active as VP2MCV on Montserrat and will be active in the ARRL DX CW Contest until the end of the month. Finally, a German team will be operating as J51A in Guinea-Bissau until mid-March. Another large solar coronal hole became Earth-facing on Friday, the 20th of February, so we may expect unsettled geomagnetic conditions from today, the 22nd. Next week, the Space Weather Prediction Centre forecasted a low solar flux index of 105 for yesterday, the 21st, before rising again to potentially reach 165 by the end of this month. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for the 24th and 25th with an estimated Kp index of 5. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th of February saw afternoon openings on 50MHz to TZ1CE in Mali to generate DX interest. However, as expected, it was stations much further south that benefited from the best propagation, with just a few stations in the southern areas of the UK making QSOs on FT8. The present spell of unsettled weather remains the main theme for the period up to the end of the coming week. The pattern is controlled by a strong Atlantic jet stream, so ‘changeable' is the watchword with periods of heavy rain alternating with brighter showery interludes and, of course, quite strong winds at times. In terms of propagation, rain scatter is a clear favourite, although in one cloudy period in mild air around Tuesday the 24th, some possible tropo may show up for southern areas of the UK.  The meteor scatter options are again subject to random activity since we are still some way off the next important shower, the Lyrids, in late April.   The auroral prospects have, at best, been gently simmering at low values of the Kp index, mostly less than 5. Stay tuned, though, because we may see an uptick around Tuesday the 24th. So watch for signs of fluttery signals on the LF bands and then check for auroral tones on 10m and up through the 6 to 2m bands. These events are always a bit of a long shot, but should be worth checking this time. The sporadic-E season is still some way off, although a strong jet stream pattern is always a positive. For EME, Moon declination is positive and rising, meaning longer Moon windows and higher peak elevation. Path loss continues to fall as we approach perigee on Tuesday, the 24th. 144MHz sky noise starts the coming week low, rising to moderate towards the end. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Fear gave way to surrender, and surrender revealed a brilliance beyond comprehension. What he encountered there was not judgment but invitation—a decision between paradise and unfinished purpose.

Ethereal Encounters Unveiled Date: December 26th, 2024 Segment: 0011 Guest: Colin Thomas Perry TOPIC: God Asked Him To Send Us This Message After His Miraculous NDE Book:Dying To Be Alive About the Author – Colin Perry (aka: C. Thomas Perry, Ph.D) C. Thomas Perry, Ph.D., is a writer and lecturer in Media. He lives and works in Melbourne, Australia and has a depth of experience in Christianity and the spiritual relevance of the message of God for the contemporary world. His insights into the supernatural following a near-death experience offer a profound view of death, life, eternity, and the deep questions of human existence. This author offers a point of view rarely encountered in everyday life and has the potential to change the way you think about death, the soul, and the eternal destiny of humanity. Dying to be Alive is a first-hand account of an incredible experience. In 2008, the author suffered a heart attack and found himself in an ambulance, blacking out and in immediate danger of death. He describes the experience of being in the presence of angels, engaged in conversation with Jesus, and then being offered the choice to return to life on earth or to continue living in heaven. The story does not stop there. He traces the intervention of God on his life as he recounts the journey through life that saw him threatened by a cult and suffering the death of his brain-injured daughter. This is a story of life and death that extends well beyond our routine earthly existence and offers an intriguing glimpse into the timeless realm of eternity. This book offers more than a story. It opens the way to an encounter with heaven that reaches from beyond this world deep into the heart and soul.

Welcome to the We Will Fix It podcast short, where Colin Thomas and I, James Piecowye, talk about all things home maintenance. In today's episode, we're discussing the joys and pains of having a kitchen island, and what you need to consider before installing one. Colin shares that a kitchen island can be a magic addition to your home - it's not just a place for food prep, but also a gathering spot for family and friends. However, installing an island can be a huge challenge, especially if you're retrofitting one into an existing kitchen. To make sure you're prepared, Colin recommends three things: water supply, water waste, and power. You'll need power for appliances like dishwashers, and water supply and waste for sinks and filters. But the biggest challenge is drainage - you need the right angle for the pipes, and you'll likely need to dig a channel through your floor to make it work. And that's not all - once you've got the utilities in place, you'll need to choose the right tiles for your island. Colin shares his own experience of having to rip up and replace tiles due to a shoddy installation job, and warns that this can be an ongoing issue. So, before you decide to install a kitchen island, make sure you've thought through all the challenges and costs involved. But if you do it right, it can be a wonderful addition to your home. Highlights: Installing a kitchen island can be magical, but it comes with its own set of challenges: -Consider water supply, water waste, power, and drainage before installing an island -Choosing the right tiles can also be a challenge, and shoddy installation can lead to ongoing issues --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podaholiks/message

James Piecowye here, and welcome to this We Will Fix It podcast short featuring Colin Thomas and his recent mishap with his pool cleaning system. Colin thought he knew what he was doing when he attempted to use the automatic waste system to fix an overflowing pool after heavy rains. However, he made a few critical mistakes, such as not turning off the pump and reversing the order of the waste valve and the selector for the pool filter. The result? The high-pressure pump caused a blockage and shattered the clear cover of the filter. Luckily, Colin was able to find a replacement cover with the help of his purchasing team and his daughter Ruby, and everything is back in working order. Colin admits that he should have read the instructions from his dad more carefully, but he and his wife Natalie have a division of labour when it comes to pool maintenance. Lesson learned? Always read the instructions carefully before attempting any home improvement project. And remember to turn off the pump, open the waste valve first, and then put the multi-selector from filter to waste before turning the pump back on. Highlight 1: Colin's failed attempt at using the automatic waste system for his pool and the resulting mishap. Highlight 2: The importance of reading instructions carefully and following the correct order when attempting DIY projects. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podaholiks/message

Colin Thomas talks about using social media at WeWillFixIt. Colin Thomas Well, no, we're not. Let's be honest. So we have a marketing team. And the marketing team said, we recently realized that what works really well is YouTube talking. So now, if we did another session last week, I think it was where we literally were just told, right, you need to discuss this topic. And what they've worked out now is, whatever you do, do not give us a script. I can't do it. I'm like a goldfish, I can do six seconds beyond that. I'm absolutely stuffed. If you give me a subject area, I can give you five hours if you want it, it's absolutely fine. But make me talk a script. I'm never going to be an actor. Can't remember lines for love or money, but subject areas tend to work quite well. So that's exactly what we're doing now. which coincidentally fits quite well with Instagram where it's not really supposed to be quite so pre-planned. So we're coming away from the highly polished advert style that we used to do and instead making it a little bit more air and now it seems to be connecting really well with people. That's a real challenge, isn't it? And that's what I constantly say to podcasters I say like you keep it real. Yeah, absolutely real as soon as you look, scripting is good, and having an idea and preparing and doing research all good. But at the end of the day, your content has to sound real. If it just sounds like you're reading a script. Yeah, nobody's gonna listen to that. That's exactly it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podaholiks/message

Episode 85 Welcome back to the We Will Fix It podcast, where we share stories and tips about home improvement and DIY projects. In this podcast, Colin Thomas talks about his recent DIY mishap with his pool cleaning system and the plumbing issues he's been having in his home in Dubai. Colin's pool was overflowing after heavy rains, and he attempted to use the automatic waste system to fix the problem. However, he made a few critical mistakes, such as not turning off the pump, and he ended up breaking the clear cover of his pool pump filter. Fortunately, he was able to find a replacement cover at a local shop and get his pool back in working order. Colin also came across a website that claimed to have a DIY solution for heating your pool using hula hoops, noodles, and a black bin liner. However, he and our host agree that this method is not very effective and would not work for most pools. Instead, Colin suggests using a solar water heater panel to heat the water flowing through the pool pump system. Moving on to plumbing issues, Colin explains why copper pipes can be a problem in Dubai, where the desalinated water has more salt than in Europe, causing corrosion. He emphasizes the importance of using the right grade of copper piping and how retrofitting an island in a kitchen can be a challenge. To properly install an island in your kitchen, you need a water supply, water waste, and power to be able to do it, and you may need an almighty channel going through your floor. He also talks about the importance of having the right angle for drainage and how it's not a patch job. Lastly, Colin discusses how he uses his kitchen island as a utility center for his daily life and how it's a great place for family gatherings. So, if you're looking to heat your pool, skip the hula hoops and go for a solar water heater panel instead. And always read the instructions carefully before attempting any home improvement project. Thanks for tuning in to the We Will Fix It podcast. Two highlights include the DIY pool heating solution using hula hoops and noodles being debunked and Colin's advice on installing an island in your kitchen. #DIY, #homeimprovement, #plumbing, #poolmaintenance --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podaholiks/message
