Foundations of Amateur Radio Previously I've talked about one of the often lauded cornerstones of the amateur radio community, namely Emergency Response, and to be frank, I questioned then, as I do now, the reality of this, at the very least, perceived, foundational aspect of our global hobby. Before you get out the caps lock key, let me assure you that I'm aware of sporadic examples of heroic efforts made by members of our community to save lives that are held up as examples of amateur radio emergency responses. What I'm questioning is related to our collective effectiveness. We have global and increasing occurrences of wild or bush fires, we have earthquakes and tsunamis, storms, hurricanes, cyclones or typhoons, whatever you call the vortex of destruction, and global news media ensures that we hear about it within hours if not seconds. Social media provides us with mobile phone footage dubbed with expert audio to explain the latest tragedy to the rest of us. What we don't see is what happens next, while the power is out, the internet is down, mobile phones aren't working anymore and survivors are fighting tooth and nail for their return to normalcy, or at least what's left of it. It struck me that one thing I never see discussed and haven't ever discussed in over a decade and a half I've been here, is the amateur radio interface with the rest of the world. A comment I see often is that Internet connected amateur radio, like Echolink, AllStarLink and IRLP, aren't real radio and that real amateurs use RF. HF radio for the win right? What do you think the relevance of HF radio is to a family member living in the next town after a disaster, or a parent looking for their lost child? How do ordinary people benefit from the radio amateur who lives on their street, or the one who travels into the disaster zone? Ultimately, if we are to take our claimed emergency response role seriously, we as a community of radio amateurs need to consider just what it is that we can offer to the people around us in the case of an emergency. Might what we offer look like a Wi-Fi base station that's connected to the rest of the world via an IP link that happens to be running on 2m or 70cm during an emergency? Or could what we offer be described as an Amateur Radio Short Message Service, what about transmitting a DVB-T dashboard that's being updated over LoRaWAN, or a local voice relay service? Where's the infrastructure, planning, preparation and training for that? Where's the documentation for it? How are we telling the local community about it? How well do we even do outage notifications within our community, let alone outside it? The point being that there are amateurs who beat their chest about emergency preparedness and, bluntly, have little or nothing to show for it. Don't get me wrong, this isn't limited to the amateur radio community. For a few weeks I became an aspirant member of a local emergency response team, right until I discovered that their biggest issue was that their user base, the local volunteer bushfire brigades, didn't really know how to use their radio repeater system and my suggestion to go and visit each one on a rotation basis and train them was met with snorts of derision and laughter. Do you really want an emergency response to be ad hoc? "Oh, sorry, I'm missing a cable and I can't connect this to that, I'll sort it out for next time." The increased interest in the various "OTA" or "On The Air" pursuits, Parks, Peaks, Summits, Bunkers, Castles, Waterways, Islands, Lakes, Libraries, Lighthouses and Toilets to name a few, are all helping amateurs practice with the "getting on-air and make noise using a temporary installation" part of an emergency response, but few of those activities interact with the general public in any way. Ironically, the local Wireless Civil Emergency Network, or WICEN, is at least doing some community outreach by providing radio infrastructure to a few local events. It's a start, but still a very long way from interacting with your next door neighbour in preparation for a massive storm and subsequent power outage. Here's the thing. There's no end-to-end anything. Is ad hoc sticky tape and baling wire really the way you want our amateur community to respond to an emergency? Is emergency response a fanciful concept, or are there things we as a community could put together to make it reality? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Send us Fan MailEver wonder about those freighters on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland's Flats? Watching them navigate our crooked river is such a unique experience. More than 600 feet long, they share the shipping channel with recreational boaters, kayakers, and paddleboarders as they transport ore upriver to our steel mills. For this episode, Greg and I sat down with Kate Wells, Manager of Environmental Stewardship and Quality for the Interlake Steamship Company, to hear about the ship, sustainability in Great Lakes shipping, and the importance of this industry to our region. Later, we climbed (literally) aboard the Mark W Barker and spoke with Captain Alex Weber about life on board, what it's like to navigate the Cuyahoga, and maritime careers. The Mark W Barker is the newest in the fleet of ten vessels owned by Interlake Steamship. This second-generation, family-run company is based in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, and has the largest privately held U.S.-flag fleet on the Lakes. Interlake has been in business for over 100 years; today, it is one of the most efficient and environmentally responsible shipping companies in the industry, moving 20 million tons of cargo annually. While we were on board, we watched loaders fill the holds with taconite pellets to be delivered up the Cuyahoga to Cleveland Cliffs. Just one load could fill 700 train cars or 2,800 trucks, making it the most efficient way to transport raw materials to industry. Whether you are a "boat nerd", a Clevelander, or curious about the Great Lakes, this episode is a must.

Williamsburg, Virginia, is surrounded by more bass fishing opportunities than many Mid-Atlantic anglers realize. In this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sits down with Brain Boog, a local tournament angler and Woods & Waters writer, to discuss largemouth bass, spotted bass, chain pickerel, and bowfin fishing throughout Williamsburg, Newport News, Gloucester, Suffolk, and the greater Hampton Roads region.he breaks down the lakes he has been fishing through a local electric-only tournament trail, including Waller Mill Reservoir, Diascund Reservoir, Lake Prince, Beaver Dam Reservoir, Chickahominy Lake, and several of the Suffolk water-supply reservoirs. Anglers planning a Virginia bass fishing trip will hear firsthand observations about which fisheries are producing quality fish, which lakes can become difficult under tournament pressure, and how these bodies of water change throughout the summer.A major part of the conversation focuses on Chickahominy Lake, located above the Chickahominy River near Williamsburg. Bryan explains why the lake remains one of his favorite places to fish large wake baits around shallow cover, grass, and warm summer water. The discussion also covers the impressive weights being brought into local Tuesday-night tournaments, the lake's largemouth bass population, and the bowfin that regularly surprise bass anglers.Brain also highlights Harwood's Mill Reservoir as an overlooked destination for anglers searching for quality largemouth bass and trophy-sized chain pickerel near Newport News. Other valuable topics include punching thick vegetation at Newport News Park, targeting offshore structure at Diascund Reservoir, fishing bridge pilings at Lake Prince, and learning how to use forward-facing sonar without allowing electronics to distract from productive fishing.Thomas and Brian also discuss access changes at Little Creek Reservoir and Western Branch Reservoir, the unique bass fishing opportunities around Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and the possibility of a future Virginia state-record largemouth coming from an overlooked lake or private pond. That conversation was inspired by a massive bass caught from the runoff lake beneath the roller coasters at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.In this episode, we cover:Chickahominy Lake summer bass fishing and large wake-bait techniquesHarwood's Mill Reservoir largemouth bass and chain pickerel fishingWaller Mill, Diascund, Lake Prince, and Beaver Dam tournament conditionsPunching grass mats at Newport News ParkForward-facing sonar and the challenges of learning new electronicsLittle Creek and Western Branch Reservoir access updatesOverlooked bass fishing lakes around Williamsburg and Hampton RoadsVirginia's largemouth bass record and hidden trophy fisheriesWhich Williamsburg-area lake are you fishing right now?

The Today in Manufacturing Podcast is brought to you by the editors of Manufacturing.net and Industrial Equipment News (IEN).This week's episode is brought to you by Fortinet, and the new point of view, Modern Manufacturing Needs a Clearer View of Cyber Risk.Modern manufacturing runs on connectivity, but that same connectivity means a cyber incident rarely stays contained to one system or site. It can move across IT, OT, suppliers, and operational processes, putting physical production at risk.This Fortinet POV breaks down the four barriers (competency, capability, capacity, and complexity) keeping manufacturers from truly understanding their risk, and shows why operational visibility, not just investment, is the key to turning awareness into action.With manufacturing representing the world's most-targeted industry for cyberattacks, and only 14 percent of organizations reporting full OT visibility, downloading this POV will empower your organization with a clearer view of your environment and help you prioritize, protect, and build resilience on the plant floor.Download, "Modern Manufacturing Needs a Clearer View of Cyber Risk," right now.Every week, we cover the three biggest stories in manufacturing, and the implications they have on the industry moving forward.

Could some unidentified aerial phenomena also have a connection to Earth's oceans and lakes? In this compelling episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes UFO researcher Debbie Ziegelmeyer, Director of Underwater Research and Recovery for Mutual UFO Network, to discuss the intriguing field of underwater UFO investigations. Debbie shares her experiences investigating reports of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), unexplained sightings over bodies of water, and cases in which witnesses describe unusual activity entering or emerging from lakes, rivers, and oceans. She explains how investigators document witness testimony, evaluate available evidence, and distinguish between identifiable natural phenomena and reports that remain unexplained. Throughout the interview, Rob and Debbie explore the challenges of conducting investigations in underwater environments, the importance of careful documentation, and the need for objective analysis when examining extraordinary claims. They also discuss the role of MUFON in collecting and researching UFO reports from around the world while encouraging thoughtful inquiry into one of the most enduring mysteries of modern times.

A few years ago, food manufacturer Land O'Lakes had a radical idea: What if it let part-time employees pick their own schedule? In early 2022, coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Arden Hills, Minnesota-based maker of dairy products and animal feeds noticed a sea change in employee priorities: people wanted flexibility.So, the company rolled out the Flex Work program for employees working 16-30 hours per week. Workers set the hours they can work, and Land O'Lakes figures out how that fits into production. Most of these positions are in operations and supply chain roles at the company's factories, but they also have positions in housekeeping, office clerking and sanitation—and no previous experience is required.The pilot project debuted at the Land O'Lakes facility in St. Joseph, Missouri, and the company said the response was "overwhelming," with more than 100 applicants in the first few days. The roles are ideal for parents being pulled in 100 different directions, college students looking to pay rent or retirees looking to stay busy. According to the company, some employees who started in Flex Work have even transitioned to full-time roles.Current positions available in the program include a Flex Production Operator in Neosho, Missouri; a Flex Housekeeper in Hillsboro, Wisconsin; a Maintenance Technician in Saint Joseph, Missouri;and a Warehouse Operator in Black River Falls, Wisconsin.According to a report in Fortune, it was a now-retired chief supply chain officer who championed the concept. Basically, the exec said the company needed to move beyond the mentality of "that can't happen in manufacturing environments."The company has some 60 manufacturing facilities in the U.S. , but plans to roll the initiative out across all 140 of its domestic locations.Land O'Lakes said that views and applications for flex roles are about 25% higher than for traditional roles, and turnover is significantly lower. Turnover among flex workers is 12 points lower than among recently hired full-time talent.While it may not make a career, Flex Work could be a solution for people looking to make a little extra cash and companies looking to fill gaps on the floor.#Manufacturing, #ManufacturingJobs, #Workforce, #Hiring, #FlexibleWork, #FlexWork, #LandOLakes, #SupplyChain, #FactoryJobs, #Operations, #SkilledTrades, #IndustrialJobs, #Careers, #FutureOfWork, #MadeInAmerica

The road trip crosses the Ohio River into Kentucky, and this stop is unlike any other we've made, because this legend has a real body count. On the eastern edge of Louisville, a massive railroad trestle spans Pope Lick Creek, and for roughly eighty years locals have said something lives under it.Half man, half goat, with short horns and a voice that isn't its own. The Pope Lick Monster doesn't chase you. He calls you, mimicking the voices of people you trust, luring trespassers out onto seven hundred and seventy feet of open steel with no walkway, no railing, and no escape when a freight train enters the span.In this episode I dig into the trestle's history and the three competing origin stories, from the escaped circus freak to the goat-sacrificing farmer, and trace the goatman's much older family tree through Maryland, Texas, and all the way back to the goat-legged wild gods of the ancient world. I cover the 1988 short film that put the monster on the national map and the fight it started with the railroad, and I walk carefully through the real, documented deaths on that bridge, including the young woman killed there in 2016 while visiting Louisville for a haunted attraction tour.You'll hear encounter accounts from the Floyds Fork bottoms, including teenagers who heard a voice calling one of them by name, a driver who watched a horned figure stand up on the rail at dusk, and a survivor who says she never decided to walk onto that trestle at all.Then the episode takes a turn most people don't expect, because Kentucky is quietly one of the best Sasquatch states in the country. I cover the famous Spottsville Monster case of 1975, encounter reports from Land Between the Lakes and the Red River Gorge, and a recent sighting from the same watershed as the trestle itself, and I make the case that the oldest layer of the Goatman legend may have started with something much more familiar to this show.I close with my verdict on what the Pope Lick Monster really is, whether it's supernatural, psychological, or the deadliest warning legend in America running in reverse.A serious note before you listen.The Pope Lick trestle is private railroad property and an active freight line, and real people, including teenagers, have died on it.Do not visit the trestle, do not climb the fence, and do not ever walk railroad tracks anywhere. This story works from the safe side of the fence, and that is the only place I want you enjoying it.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Summer is supposed to be simple, but somehow everyone has strong opinions about it. In this lighthearted episode, Clayton and Amy share their hottest summer takes—from whether pools are actually fun, to the rise and fall of lemonade stands, to the surprising case for boredom. Along the way, they debate “Women's Winter,” neighborhood traditions, summer screens, and whether lake houses are secretly overrated. It's a fun conversation about what makes summer memorable and how families can create meaningful moments without overcomplicating the season.TakeawaysSummer doesn't have to look the same for everyone—what feels refreshing and life-giving for one person may be miserable for another.The best summer memories are often created through simple neighborhood traditions rather than expensive experiences.Boredom isn't necessarily a problem to solve; it can be the starting point for creativity, independence, and adventure.Parents can unintentionally over-schedule summer and miss opportunities for kids to discover fun on their own.Screens become less appealing when kids are given meaningful alternatives and the freedom to explore.Community experiences, even quirky ones like lemonade stands, help kids develop confidence and connection.Sometimes our strongest opinions about summer reveal what we actually value most about family life and relationships.Not every summer tradition deserves universal praise—and that's okay.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Summer Hot Takes Explained04:26 Hot Take #1: “Women's Winter” Is Real09:00 Hot Take #2: Pools Are Only Fun Twice a Year13:20 Hot Take #3: Lemonade Stands Are Worth Keeping17:45 Hot Take #4: Kids Need More Summer Boredom21:15 Hot Take #5: Screens Aren't the Real Problem24:45 Hot Take #6: Neighborhood Traditions Matter More Than Big Vacations26:45 Hot Take #7: Lake Houses Are Overrated29:48 Final Verdicts & Summer Send-Off
In this episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes author, explorer, and cryptozoology researcher Adam Davies for a wide-ranging conversation about Bigfoot, strange creatures, and the deeper mysteries that may surround unexplained encounters in the wilderness. Adam shares how childhood loss, a serious leg injury, and a lifelong drive to explore the unknown pushed him toward cryptozoology and into some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth in search of creatures that science has yet to fully explain.Adam traces the beginning of his North American Bigfoot research to his work with Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and discusses the investigations that followed across the United States, including powerful experiences in Washington State involving wood knocks, roars, unexplained laughter in the woods, and the controversial campfire photo that continues to spark debate. He also reflects on time spent in the field with researchers including Brian Sykes, Russell Acord, and Thomas Stewart, while offering a candid look at the strengths, weaknesses, and frustrations within modern Bigfoot research.The conversation takes a much stranger turn as Adam recounts a disturbing multi-night experience at Matthew Johnson's habituation site, where he says he witnessed a beam of light, a red mist, and small black red-eyed entities that appeared to move through or emerge from something he could only interpret as interdimensional. Brian and Adam dig into the uneasy overlap between Bigfoot reports, portal claims, strange lights, red-eyed creatures, and the limits of what witnesses are willing to say publicly.Adam also challenges parts of the habituation community, especially claims that rely on extraordinary stories without hard evidence, while discussing cognitive priming, witness underreporting, and why many people stay silent after seeing something they cannot easily explain. He also shares updates on his work with Relic Films, including a dramatic Land Between the Lakes encounter, along with projects like The Vanished and The Awakened. The episode closes with a look at Adam's books and his upcoming nonfiction release, Ghosts and Beasts, which explores the unsettling territory where cryptids, folklore, and paranormal experiences collide.This is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in Bigfoot, cryptozoology, red-eyed entities, wilderness mysteries, portals, strange mist, and the cases that sit just beyond the edge of conventional explanation.Relic Films YouTube Channel Get Adam's Books Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?
