THERE'S NOTHING TO GAIN AND EVEN LESS TO LOSE!
Hello and Welcome to the DX Corner for yourweekly Dose of DX. I'm Bill, AJ8B.I mentioned previously that I would be addressing two issues, as I do at the beginning of each year. The first is my goals for 2026. We accomplished that last week. The second issue was to share those contests that I have participated in over the years. I have found them to be excellent opportunities to improve your skills, garner you some new band slots and potentially some ATNOS. The dates that I am referring to include the State QSO Parties, international DX contests, and regional DX contests. I have worked many normally difficult entities during contests and found it very easy (sometimes) to get them in the log. I have about 90 dates that I would suggest that you keep in mind. However, you don't need to write them down. I have created two items to make it easy for you. There is a list of dates andcontests in both .pdf and Excel format. Both files can be found at www.aj8b.com/files. Let me know if you have any questions. If you are somewhat skilled with Excel, you can create a CSV file from the Excel workbook and import it in to your personal calendar.The following DX information comes from Bernie, W3UR, editor of the DailyDX, the WeeklyDX, and the How's DX column in QST. If you would like a free 2-week trial of the DailyDX, your only source of real-time DX information, justdrop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.comKP5/NP3VI, Desecheo Island, makes history - At its four-day mark, KP5/NP3VI has made over 10,000 QSOs on all continents. Their goal is to make over 100,000 QSOsduring their 30 days on the air. J5 - Guinea-Bissau - Bavarian Contest Club members will be operating J51A from Guinea-Bissau in February/March 2026. The location is on the island's northern shore with an unobstructed view over water, using generator power 24/7 due to lack of public electricity. Their main goal is to provide contacts from Guinea-Bissau, which is ranked as number 85 worldwide, and number 53 in Asia. QSL cards and LoTW confirmations will be managed through Club Log OQRS, and donations are welcome via Club Log.H4 - Solomon Islands - DL2GAC, Bernhard now in the Solomon Islands as H44MS until mid-May. He departed India last Wednesday, arriving in the Solomons' capital on Friday. He is renewing his H44MS license, which was scheduled to expire in early February. He will move to his "usual QTH" there tomorrow or Wednesday. He has taken with him a Hexbeam that covers 20-6, to replace his old tri-bander that covered 20-10. He says the weather is poor, lots of rain, no sunshine. He plans to mostly be on 40M this time, with a dipole 20M high in a palm tree near the ocean. V6 - Federated States of Micronesia - Yesterday afterarriving on Chuuk (OC-011), JA1XGI (Haru) reports his amplifier was likely damaged during airport transport. Nevertheless, he has been active as V6CU25, operating FT8 and CW on 160, 40, 30, 20, and 15 meters. S21WD – Bangladesh 2026: Project Update - The NextGeneration DX Club is pleased to announce a major milestone for its upcoming Bangladesh DXpedition: the callsign S21WD has been officially issued for the project. The DXpedition will be active for 12 days and operate on 160 through 10 meters, including 5 MHz (60 m), using CW, SSB, RTTY, and FT8. In addition, activity via the QO-100 satellite is planned using CW, SSB, and FT4. I mentioned that the KP5 DXpedition to Desecheo was racking up record numbers and they were working all continents. If you would like to learn more about this DXpedition, check out the DX Mentor podcast and YouTube channel. AJ8B and W8GEX had a great discussion with team leader, Otis, NP4G, about all aspects of the DesecheoDXpedition. Give it a listen and let me know what you think! Until next week, this is Bill, AJ8B saying 73 and thanks to my XYL Karen for her love and support. IHope to hear you in the pileups! Have a great DX week!

If you would like a free 2-week trial of the DailyDX, your only source of real-time DX information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.comKP5 - Desecheo Island – On Monday, KP5/NP3VI began operations from Desecheo Island, the first time KP5 has been on the air since 2009. NP4G, Otis, and several other team members were on the island setting up the antennas, stations and solar panels. We have an update from the KP5 team - Desecheo DXpedition 2026 Update“Please be patient—this is only Day Two of a planned 30-day activation. This DXpedition represents a completely new operating concept designed specifically for environmentally sensitive, highly regulated, and restricted locations. As with any first-of-its-kind effort, refinements are ongoing. Our team leaders, along with electrical and software engineers, are actively fine-tuning operating schedules, band and mode selection, RF power levels, and overall system performance to optimize results as conditions evolve. Due to Desecheo's geographic location, North American stations are currently dominating propagation. That said, our operators have been explicitly instructed to listen for DX stations and to give them priority whenever possible in order to broaden log coverage. We ask for your patience as we work through the pileups and strive to put as many stations as possible into the log.A primary goal of this DXpedition is to deliver as many ATNOs as we can worldwide. Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your cooperation.Good luck in the pileups—and we'll see you in the log!73,Steve N2AJMedia Officer & PilotDesecheo DXpedition 20265H - Tanzania - Dr. Charles, NK8O, is QRV from Tanzania as 5H3DX until February 9 with limited radio activity due to other commitments.

Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani dive into the June 8, 2000, episode of SmackDown from Buffalo! The road to King of the Ring features a chaotic main event and one of the most dangerous splashes in WWE history.We break down Rikishi's legendary splash off the 10-foot stage onto Val Venis, a move that still makes our knees hurt just watching it. We also witness a historic character shift for Lita, who debuts her signature "Whale Tail" look while getting robbed of the WWF Women's Championship by Stephanie McMahon and a fast-counting Tori. Meanwhile, The Rock, Undertaker, and Kane are forced to team up against the McMahon-Helmsley faction. Accidental chair shots and internal friction threaten to destroy the alliance before the pay-per-view.Tommy Blacha also pulls back the curtain on:- The real-world pressure of the Parents Television Council (PTC) and Steve Allen trying to pull WWE advertising.- Why Mosh (Chaz) was being "ignored" by The Rock backstage and the abandoned disgruntled worker storyline.- Early impressions of a young Kurt Angle in dark matches and how one specific promo video made his career.- Behind-the-scenes reality of "Sweeps Week" and why the network pressure didn't apply to the Attitude Era juggernaut.- Chris Benoit and Jeff Hardy in a technical "work-rate" masterclass.- Crash Holly's continued parking lot brawls with Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson over the Hardcore Championship.- The night Tommy saw Brock Lesnar in developmental and the frustration of the "need to know" basis in the writers' room.Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the notification bell!0:00 - Intro 1:40 - The "Number One Contender" trope8:06 - Match 1: Chris Jericho vs. Test (KOTR Qualifier)9:10 - The Rock ignores Chaz / Disgruntled worker storylines13:33 - Lost WWF beauty pageant commercials15:53 - Steve Allen and the PTC censorship battles18:40 - The McMahons & DX celebrate / No Vince tonight20:47 - The Rock brings "Payback Pie" to Buffalo22:50 - The "American Badass" music license rabbit hole26:26 - Undertaker vs. The Regime 28:18 - Match 2: Too Cool vs. Godfather & Dean Malenko29:13 - Match 3: Chris Benoit vs. Jeff Hardy (Intercontinental Championship)31:13 - Match 4: Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz33:50 - The "Clean Pin" vs. "Clean Finish" Smart Mark debate35:15 - Stephanie McMahon barges into the women's locker room36:16 - Kane confronts Undertaker: "I was enjoying it"38:32 - Women's Battle Royal 40:10 - Tommy on training vs. "Gaga" in the women's division43:27 - Tori screws Lita / Stephanie retains the title46:01 - Match 5: Matt Hardy vs. Eddie Guerrero (KOTR Qualifier)47:45 - Val Venis & Trish Stratus promo48:26 - Match 6: Val Venis vs. Rikishi49:33 - RIKISHI SPLASH OFF THE STAGE!53:25 - Main Event: Rock, Taker & Kane vs. Triple H & DX54:41 - The MO of SmackDown: Feeling over Advancement56:40 - Sunday Night Heat main event recap57:07 - 2000 Headlines: Dwayne Johnson's Hollywood breakout1:01:03 - Dark Match talk: The Dups and a young Brock Lesnar1:02:44 - The night Tommy saw Kurt Angle get over1:08:23 - The frustration of the "Need to Know" basis in WWE1:12:45 - Broken illusions: Why Tommy misses Kayfabe1:15:26 - Final Thoughts & OutroFollow Tales from The Attitude Era on all social mediahttp://youtube.com/@TFTAttitudeEra http://twitter.com/TFTAttitudeErahttp://instagram.com/TFTAttitudeErahttp://tiktok.com/@TFTAttitudeEra Hosted on Acast.

This edition takes a look at the use of "CQ", which is used as a general call for initiating a contact. This took time to become an acceptable practice in the early years. Serious operators frowned on its use, mostly because it had been used to excess in the old days among the little boys with squeak boxes, usually in exceedingly long and sparsely identified calls.

He is hopeful to work 1000 stations from POTA VG-0021. Listen for him on SSB and FT8 from both the park and his living QTH. He will be mainly on 20 meters but can also operate on 40, 17, 15, 12and 10 meters.ZD7 - St. Helena Island - AC1GQ, Casey,will be on St. Helena Island from January 10-24. He plans to operate with a QRP rig (QMX from QRP Labs) and an end-fed antenna (QRP Guys) on the 40m and 20m bands, if possible. Casey will bring a copy of his home amateur radio license and is seeking advice on applying for a ZD7 license. This one is right around the corner. “In collaboration with the Vieques Island Amateur Radio Club (NP3VI) and theManyana DXFoundation, we are proud to announce KP5/NP3VI, a landmark DXpedition to Desecheo Island (KP5), currently ranked by Club Log as the 14th most wantedDXCC entity worldwide. Located approximately 13 miles off the west coast of Puerto Rico, Desecheo Island has not been activated since 2009. This operation represents the first Puerto Rican-led DXpedition to Desecheo in 48 years,following the historic KP4AM/D activation in 1978. The primary mission of this DXpedition is to provide an All-Time New One (ATNO) to as many amateur radio operators worldwide as possible. Operators from Puerto Rico and international locations will participate to maximize coverage, band availability, and global accessibility. To ensure continuous, global on-air presence, two self-sustainedRemote Deployable Units (RDUs) provided by the Manyana DXFoundation will be deployed on the island. These stations will operate 24 hours per day for 30 consecutive days,utilizing state-of-the-art remote operating infrastructure from Remote Ham Radio (RHR). Operations will be livestreamed, and there will be real-time activityupdates via Club Log. NP4G, Dr. Otis Vicens, is DXpedition leader, and N2AJ, Stephen Hass, is media officer and pilot. DK6SP, Philipp, and DJ4MX, Sven, have announced the next adventure of the Next Generation DX Club. “This time, ouryoung and ambitious team will travel to the People's Republic of Bangladesh, better known as S2 to the amateur radio community…After bringing you 8R7X, Guyana in 2024 and V73WW, Marshall Islands last year, we are ready to make waves from one Asia's most exciting and under-activated locations.” More information about callsign, dates, andoperators will follow.

In this short podcast, Bryan answers a question submitted to HVAC School by an aspiring licensed architect who wanted to learn more about the many different types of HVAC systems. The three main buckets of HVAC systems are air-to-air, water-source, and air-to-water. Air-to-air systems move air around to remove heat from one space, and that heat is rejected to the air somewhere else. Water-source systems move water around the building and use water as the heat rejection medium. Air-water hybrid systems condition the load with water and may use air for ventilation; water or air may be used as the rejection medium. Systems may be direct-exchange (DX) and may transfer heat directly to refrigerant, or they may flow the air or water over a coil with water or glycol, utilizing a secondary fluid. Systems may also have separate indoor and outdoor architecture (split systems), or all components may be rolled into a single box (package unit). Package units include window units, PTACs, and RTUs. When it comes to forced-air systems, constant air volume (CAV) systems maintain the same volume of airflow (though the temperatures will change). Variable air volume (VAV) systems use one stream of cold air in a main duct, and each zone has a VAV box that functions as a damper to control zones individually. Dual duct systems have one cold duct and one warm duct that run parallel to each other and mix at each zone. Packaged rooftop units (RTUs) are self-contained with ducts that run down into the space and are common in retail spaces. Air-to-water systems use fan coil units (FCUs) fed with chilled or hot water. Air moves locally inside the space, so there is less ductwork and good zone control, but there are many units to manage. Chillers make chilled water, and that water is pumped around the building and sent to individual air handler units (AHUs). These are highly efficient and have large amounts of piping. They need mechanical rooms and dedicated personnel to maintain them. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems are DX systems that are becoming more popular and consist of multiple indoor units with one or more outdoor units. Some of these can be used for heat recovery, meaning one space can be cooled while another is heated. Heat pump types include air-source, water-source, and ground-source. Air-source heat pumps absorb heat from the air via one unit and reject it via the other; the outdoor and indoor units can swap functions. Water-source heat pumps are common in commercial applications and have multiple heat pumps tied into a water loop that tries to stay within a given temperature range via boilers and cooling towers. Ground-source or geothermal heat pumps pick up heat from the earth's stable temperature and are highly efficient, but they have high installation costs. Passive systems come in all sorts of varieties and reduce the HVAC system's loads but don't replace HVAC systems in North America. Mechanical systems consist of straight-cool (air conditioner with electric heat), furnaces (gas, propane, or oil combustion), or heat pump (reversible air conditioners) systems.

On this special REMIX episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson sit down together to watch WWF Monday Night RAW from April 27, 1998—and for Tony, it's a first-time viewing of one of the most infamous moments of the Monday Night War. The focus? D-Generation X and their audacious, real-world invasion of World Championship Wrestling. As the episode unfolds, Tony reacts in real time to seeing Triple H, X-Pac, and the New Age Outlaws roll up to WCW's doorstep, cameras rolling, lines blurring between storyline and reality. From the perspective of a man who was insideWCW when it happened, Tony offers candid, unfiltered insight into what the locker room likely thought, how management viewed the stunt, and why this moment symbolized WWF's growing confidence in 1998. Conrad guides the conversation with context—breaking down where WWF stood creatively, why this episode of Monday Night Raw felt so dangerous and unpredictable, and how DX's fourth-wall-breaking antics represented a turning point in the war for wrestling fans' attention. Expect laughs, disbelief, and plenty of "I can't believe they did that" moments as Tony processes the invasion not as a rival executive, but as a fan watching history unfold. The duo also discusses how this single segment changed perceptions, raised the stakes, and helped redefine what competition looked like in professional wrestling. It's a rare, behind-the-curtain look at the DX invasion—told by the voice of WCW himself—on an episode that proves just how wild, bold, and real the Monday Night Wars had become.

AI engineering tools are evolving fast. New coding assistants, debugging agents, and automation platforms emerge every month. Engineering leaders want to take advantage of these innovations while avoiding costly experiments that create more distraction than impact.In this episode of the Engineering Enablement podcast, host Laura Tacho and Abi Noda outline a practical model for evaluating AI tools with data. They explain how to shortlist tools by use case, run trials that mirror real development work, select representative cohorts, and ensure consistent support and enablement. They also highlight why baselines and frameworks like DX's Core 4 and the AI Measurement Framework are essential for measuring impact.Where to find Laura Tacho: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura's course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact): https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseWhere to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda • Substack: https://substack.com/@abinoda In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro: Running a data-driven evaluation of AI tools(02:36) Challenges in evaluating AI tools(06:11) How often to reevaluate AI tools(07:02) Incumbent tools vs challenger tools(07:40) Why organizations need disciplined evaluations before rolling out tools(09:28) How to size your tool shortlist based on developer population(12:44) Why tools must be grouped by use case and interaction mode(13:30) How to structure trials around a clear research question(16:45) Best practices for selecting trial participants(19:22) Why support and enablement are essential for success(21:10) How to choose the right duration for evaluations(22:52) How to measure impact using baselines and the AI Measurement Framework(25:28) Key considerations for an AI tool evaluation(28:52) Q&A: How reliable is self-reported time savings from AI tools?(32:22) Q&A: Why not adopt multiple tools instead of choosing just one?(33:27) Q&A: Tool performance differences and avoiding vendor lock-inReferenced:Measuring AI code assistants and agentsQCon conferencesDX Core 4 engineering metricsDORA's 2025 research on the impact of AIUnpacking METR's findings: Does AI slow developers down?METR's study on how AI affects developer productivityClaude CodeCursorWindsurfDo newer AI-native IDEs outperform other AI coding assistants?

When it comes to your digital experience, how often does a ‘great idea' from a senior leader's gut feeling get completely dismantled by actual user data?Agility requires the willingness to be wrong and the systems to prove it quickly. It's about building a culture that values learning over being right and relentlessly iterates based on real human behavior, not internal assumptions. Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond ‘best practice' and intuition to build a truly data-driven digital experience. We'll explore how to create a disciplined conversion rate optimization program where usability testing, A/B experimentation, and personalization aren't just separate tactics, but a unified system, especially within a powerful platform like SitecoreAI, to build experiences that adapt to customer needs, not just our assumptions about them. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, George Chang, Senior Director, Digital Experience & Technology Corporate Marketing at Hexagon AB. About George Chang George Chang is the Senior Director of Digital Experience at Hexagon, leading digital transformation efforts to modernize web experiences, streamline operations, and drive business impact.

Every software team, no matter its size or sophistication, has wrestled with the same quiet threat, technical debt. But what if the issue isn't just messy code or outdated frameworks, but something more human? That's the question Ernesto Tagwerker, Founder and CEO of OmbuLabs.ai, has been asking as he works at the intersection of AI, developer experience, and legacy modernization. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, Ernesto joins me from Philadelphia to unpack why technical debt is so misunderstood and why the term has drifted far from Ward Cunningham's original metaphor. He argues that many teams treat it as a one-off cleanup task when, in reality, it's a living health issue that must be managed continuously. As he explains, "Every time you have to work around messy code, you're paying interest. And if later never comes, that interest piles up until progress grinds to a halt." We explore how AI is changing the way engineers think about remediation and developer experience (DX). Ernesto shares how OmbuLabs.ai uses AI agents to automate parts of the Rails upgrade process, scanning codebases for deprecations and generating actionable plans for clients. But his caution is clear, these tools are only as smart as the people orchestrating them. When used carelessly, they can generate invisible layers of new debt just as fast as they resolve the old. Ernesto also reflects on research from Google that reveals how "technical debt" varies wildly between teams and projects. He explains why leadership alignment is vital, how recurring surveys can help identify developer pain points, and why organizations should measure "technical health" rather than chase the unrealistic goal of zero debt. We discuss the cultural shift required for long-term success and why allocating even 10 to 20 percent of each sprint to DX improvements can dramatically reduce burnout and turnover. Finally, Ernesto offers his take on the future. AI will continue to automate repetitive work and surface smarter insights, but human oversight remains non-negotiable. In his words, "AI agents are only as good as their human operator." This conversation goes beyond code reviews and sprint retrospectives. It's about redefining what progress means in software development, healthier systems, happier developers, and smarter collaboration between humans and machines. Listen now to hear how Ernesto Tagwerker and OmbuLabs.ai are rethinking technical debt, DX, and AI-driven engineering for the decade ahead.
