GB2RS NEWS Sunday the 22nd of November 2020 The news headlines: Spectrum Forum meeting details published Help wanted for eclipse propagation tests GB1NHS on the air over Christmas The reports, presentations and minutes from the 2020 RSGB Spectrum Forum annual meeting are now available. The material provides a wide-ranging overview of topics across EMC, HF, VHF and microwaves; from both the Society and nationally affiliated Special Interest Groups. Presentations include updates on Ofcom’s EMF proposals, IARU 2021 Band Plans, VHF Innovation and WRC-23 pressure on 23cm band. Several reports include the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic driving on-air activity. The reports are online at https://rsgb.org/main/about-us/committees/spectrum-forum/meeting-minutes. HamSCI is looking for amateur radio operators around the world to help collect propagation data during the 14th of December eclipse across South America. Data collection requires an HF radio connected to a computer. There will be a 24-hour practice run on the 5th of December. The main data recording will run from the 9th to the 16th, to ensure an abundance of control data. Details of the experiment are on the website www.hamsci.org, click on the Projects tab. As part of the RSGB and NHS campaign ‘Get on the air for Christmas’ the NHS amateur radio station GB1NHS will be on the air on Sunday the 20th of December and Wednesday the 30th of December. It will be hosted at the RSGB’s National Radio Centre, so make a note to listen out for it on those days. Please note that the NRC is still closed to visitors and the operators will be following all national and local Covid-19 guidelines to ensure the safety of volunteers. The Society is also delighted that Ofcom is supporting the use of /NHS as a suffix to callsigns during the campaign, which runs from Saturday the 19th of December through to Saturday the 9th of January. The RSGB’s GB2RS News Service is looking for a new volunteer manager. The position involves appointing and liaising with GB2RS newsreaders, managing schedules and notices of variation, as well as working closely with the editorial staff at HQ. For more information please contact the RSGB General Manager’s Department via email to gm.dept@rsgb.org.uk.

The damaged 305m radio telescope at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico will be decommissioned due to safety concerns. One of its support cables broke in August and, before repairs could be put in place, a second broke earlier in November. The decommissioning plan focuses only on the 305-meter telescope and is intended to safely preserve other parts of the observatory. The VHF Contest Committee has a consultation open right now looking for feedback on some possible rule changes for 2021. The closing date has been extended to midnight on Sunday the 29th of November. If you haven’t already responded and you’re interested in VHF Contesting, we’d really appreciate a few minutes of your time. You’ll find it at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VHFCC20. South Dublin Radio Club has uploaded its latest video to the club's YouTube channel. It is called Signals from Outerspace! Make your own antenna to get images from Weather Satellites. It is designed as a beginner's radio project and instructs viewers on how to construct a very simple V-dipole for 137MHz, demonstrating how it can be utilised along with a basic software-defined receiver and computer in order to decode images from passing NOAA Weather satellites. Now the special event news Members of UBA Section KTK will be active as OP0PEACE until the 30th of November to commemorate the end of World War I. QSL via the operator's instructions and logsearch on Club Log. 4U2STAYHOME is the special callsign reactivated by the Vienna International Centre Amateur Radio Contest DX Club until the 31st of December. QSL via UA3DX, direct or via the bureau. The Belgian regulator is again issuing special callsigns during its second nationwide lockdown. The callsigns are valid until at least the 13th of December. They include callsigns such as OO4UZLEUVEN, OO7STAYHOME, OQ20LIFE, OQ5BECLEVER and OR1LIFE. There are many more in the list. See the station’s entry on QRZ.com for details. Now the DX news Ali, EP3CQ will be back to Mogadishu, Somalia for two months. In his spare time he will operate mainly FT8 on various bands as 6O1OO. QSL direct as per the details on QRZ.com. Now the contest news Please remember to check before the contest for any new rules due to lockdown and social distancing, which may differ around the world. The RSGB strongly advises obeying your own national and local government’s advice. On Tuesday the SHF UK Activity Contest runs from 1930 to 2230UTC. Using all modes on the 2.3 to 10GHz bands, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Wednesday the UK EI Contest Club 80m contest runs from 2000 to 2100UTC. Using CW only, the exchange is your 6-character locator. On Thursday it’s the Autumn Series contest from 2000 to 2130UTC. Using CW only on the 80m band, the exchange is signal report and serial number. Next weekend it’s the CQ World Wide DX CW contest. Running for 48 hours from 0000UTC on the 28th to 2359UTC on the 29th on the 1.8 to 28MHz contest bands, the exchange is signal report and your CQ Zone. For the UK that is Zone 14. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA & G4BAO on Friday the 20th of November. Last week was not bad for HF propagation, but probably not as good as the previous period. The solar flux index remained in the mid-to-high 70s, but the upside was that we had quiet geomagnetic conditions, which helped settle the ionosphere. The result was that maximum usable frequencies over 3,000km remained quite high, with 12 metres often being open. There was even the occasional long-distance opening on 10 metres, including SSB contacts with Australia, especially by better-equipped stations. Next week may be better as sunspot group 2783 rotates into an Earth-facing position. NOAA predicts the SFI will remain in the range 70-75, but this could easily be exceeded if sunspot 2783 becomes more active. Unfortunately, geomagnetic conditions may not be as favourable next week due to a large coronal hole on the Sun’s surface. NOAA predicts the Kp index could rise to four on Sunday the 22nd of November and again on the 24th and 25th. Things could then settle down with a maximum Kp index of two, just in time for the CQ Worldwide CW contest on the weekend of the 28th and 29th. So it looks like the latter half of the week will be better for HF propagation than the first half. And now the VHF and up propagation news. This is often regarded as an unsettled time of year, but can occasionally bring quite settled weather, typical of high-pressure systems. Unfortunately, there is once again no real sign of any substantial high pressure, other than the occasional brief ridge between successive lows and their fronts. Like last week, any high pressure is likely to be closer to southern Britain and over the Continent, therefore favouring southern England to France and Biscay for the more optimistic operators. It's another week to look for GHz Bands rain scatter, with much variability expected in timing. It's best to follow events via the daily forecasts to find the most likely opportunities. There have been a few out-of-season Sporadic-E events on 10m and 6m in the past week, so it's never safe to assume there is only a summer season for Sporadic-E. Admittedly it's not usually a great response in November, but it can and does happen! Just one minor meteor shower this coming week. The November Orionids peaks on the 28th, with a zenithal hourly rate of just three. Moon declination goes positive again on Wednesday, so visibility windows will lengthen all week. With the Moon approaching apogee on Friday, path losses are at their highest. 144MHz sky noise is low all week, but rising above 300 Kelvin from Thursday. And that’s all from the propagation team this week.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our weekly roundtable. Our panelists are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg and Dr. Gerald Horne. Donald Trump is desperately trying to stay in power and prevent President-elect Joe Biden from taking office. In what many are now describing as a slow-motion coup, Trump is using a combination of methods to undermine the results of the 2020 election. Not only is he pushing state legislators to visit him at the Oval Office in an attempt to overturn the Democrats victory. He is also personally calling local election officials who are trying to rescind their certification votes in Michigan, according to the Associated Press. Also, during a press conference hosted by Rudy Giuliani, Trumps personal lawyer, he claimed that the election had been rigged by a company owned by affiliates of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and current President Nicolas Maduro. Also, a few days after winning the electoral votes needed to win the presidency, Joe Biden appointed adviser and lawyer Ron Klain as his Chief of Staff. He has also tapped former campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon as his deputy chief of staff. She is the first woman to lead a winning Democratic presidential campaign. On Tuesday, November 17, Biden officially appointed three Latinos to be part of his White House senior staff. They include Julie Chvez Rodriguez, Director of Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Julissa Reynoso Pantaleon, Chief of Staff for the First Lady, and Anthony Bernal, Senior Adviser to the First Lady. Biden also picked Cedric Richmond, a Black man, to serve as Director of the Office of Public Engagement. At the moment, only ten people have been selected, seven of which are women and people of color. However, many in the peace movement are worried about his major candidates for security and defense. Despite Donald Trump refusing to concede defeat, President-elect Joe Biden is already tackling major world events that will impact his administration upon taking office. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo laid the capstone this week on the Trump administrations four-year ideological project in Israel. Pompeo made a controversial visit to settlements located in the West Bank and the Golan Heights, marking the first time a U.S. secretary of state has appeared at such sites, which much of the world views as illegal. Although an overwhelming majority of people across the United States voted for Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump, it is not smooth sailing for the President-elect. The progressive and grassroots movement that helped elect Biden into power is now reminding him that he must live up to his promises. This includes the LGBTQ movement, the environmental movement and the progressive anti-war movement.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Is biomass fuel the answer to containing the spread of wildfires? Or is it simply another false solution taking away focus from the relationship between climate change and the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires? On Tuesday, November 24, environmental justice organizations around the world will mark the International Day of Action on Forest Biomass. What is biomass fuel? Why are environmental activists opposed to it? For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Rachel Smolker. She is co-director of Biofuelwatch, where she works to raise awareness of the impacts of large scale bioenergy on climate, the environment and human rights. Her work has spanned from local grassroots organizing to participation in the United Nations conventions on climate and biodiversity. She is on the steering committee of the Campaign to Stop GE Trees. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, and worked previously as a field biologist. She lives in Vermont where she is organizing resistance to a fracked gas pipeline and to logging on public lands. Across the U.S. South and Midwest, farm workers are waging labor struggles against corporate exploitation and toxic work environments. Farm workers are among the most underpaid workers in the United States and often work in perilous conditions. They're also forced to live in cramped quarters, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19. Our guest is Stephen Bartlett. Stephen is the Coordinator of Sustainable Agriculture of Louisville, which aims to create a joyous, diverse, and sustainable community of well-nourished people and well-compensated farmers and food workers. Stephen is also a member of Louisvillians Showing Up For Racial Justice. Also, we speak with Eleanor Goldfield who made the brand new and well-reviewed film, "Hard Road of Hope." It tells the story of how migrants were brought to West Virginia to work in the coal mines and how they worked together against dangerous and oppressive working conditions.

An Auckland wharfie estimates Ports of Auckland is half as efficient as it used to be, because of problems switching to an automated system to load and unload freight containers. Some ships are waiting up to 12 days to unload at the port, and many retailers fear their shelves will not be full as they approach the festive season. On Tuesday, Matt Ball from Ports of Auckland told Checkpoint Covid-19 has caused delays to the full roll-out of automation, but he said the system is working efficiently. Ball also said the Ports are short about 50 staff, including crane drivers, straddle operators and lashers. He said the company's performance at the moment is not good enough. A port worker with decades of experience echoes that, but told Checkpoint the company is not being upfront about problems with automation. He said customers are getting a raw deal.

Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan has warned that recent progress in suppressing the spread of Covid-19 is at risk after a new rise in case numbers in recent days. On Saturday, Prof Philip Nolan, Nphet’s main modeller, said keeping the country on Level 3 “would have resulted in at least 1,200 hospitalisations” and 150 deaths a month. Separately, Mr Holohan has warned the Government that the number of coronavirus cases in older people and in nursing homes, despite the Level 5 lockdown, remains a concern. As of midnight Sunday 15th November, the HPSC has been notified of 456 confirmed cases of COVID-19. There is now a total of 68,356* confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ireland.The most recent figures for Clare confirm that there were 25 new cases in the county.

On Tuesday, November 17, the Board of Commissioners adopted Governor Hogan’s recent executive orders, which returns the state of Maryland to Stage Two of the Roadmap to Recovery and limits capacity to 50% at all retail stores, religious institutions, fitness centers and other public places. Dine-in service at bars, restaurants and other establishments must close at 10 p.m. and cannot reopen until 6AM. Additionally, hospital visitation is prohibited with limited exceptions and indoor nursing home visitors must have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours in advance of a scheduled visit. The restrictions will become effective on Friday, Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. COVID-19 cases are rapidly rising, both locally and statewide. Residents are encouraged to stay home during the holiday season to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Those who have recently participated in large gatherings or traveled outside the region should consider getting tested for COVID-19. Charles County offers many convenient ways to get tested, including a drive-thru testing site on Tuesdays at Regency Furniture Stadium, and testing at several local pharmacies. For more information about testing location, visit COVIDtest.maryland.gov. Now let’s take a closer look at what our Charles County Public Health Officer, Dr. Diana E. Abney, is sharing about the latest developments regarding COVID-19and provides us with insights on how to make our holiday traditions work around COVID and what best practices are to minimize our risk for exposure. Remember, it's all about us and what we do that will keep exposures down: use a mask, maintain your distance, and wash your hands.

Now the contest news Please remember to check before the contest for any new rules due to lockdown and social distancing, which may differ around the world. The RSGB strongly advises obeying your own national and local government’s advice. The WAE DX RTTY contest ends its 48-hour run at 2359UTC today, the 15th. Using the 3.5 to 28MHz contest bands, the exchange is signal report and serial number. Today, the 15th, the UK Microwave group’s Low Band contest runs from 1000 to 1400UTC. Using the 1.3 to 3.4GHz bands, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Monday, the 9th FT4 series contest runs from 2000 to 2130UTC. Using the 3.5MHz band, the exchange is signal report and 4-character location. On Tuesday the 1.3GHz UK Activity Contest runs from 2000 to 2230UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Thursday sees the 70MHz UK Activity Contest running from 2000 to 2230UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Next Saturday, the 21st, the Second 1.8MHz contest runs from 1900 to 2300UTC. It’s CW only and the exchange is signal report, serial number and District code. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA & G4BAO on Friday the 13th of November. The Sun really shone last week, in more ways than one. Large sunspot group 2781 pushed the solar flux index to 91 with a sunspot number of 40 at the weekend, a figure that we haven’t seen for many years. This was coupled with quiet geomagnetic conditions with a maximum Kp index of two, but frequently it was at one or zero. These figures, coupled with a seasonal upturn in HF propagation, meant there was DX to be worked. 7Q7RU, the Russian Robinson Club DXpedition to Malawi, has been logged in the UK on many bands, including 15 metres. Australia has also put in an appearance on 10 metres, with VK6NC being worked on SSB with a 5 and 8 signal for Gary, G0FWX. New Zealand has also been workable on the short path with John, ZL2JBR being very loud on 20m SSB around 14.210 to 14.215MHz on many days around 0830 to 0930UTC. There probably hasn’t been a better time for HF propagation for quite a few years. As this report was being written, new sunspot group 2782 was just showing around the edge of the Sun and this could develop as the weekend goes on. NOAA predicts the SFI will be in the range 78-80 next week, although this rather depends upon how region 2782 develops. Geomagnetic conditions are unlikely to be quite as quiet next week, with NOAA predicting a maximum Kp index of three, rising to five on Friday the 20th. The first part of the week might therefore be the best choice for HF DXing. And now the VHF and up propagation news. The Leonids meteor shower reaches its peak in the hours before dawn on Tuesday, the 17th of November. So be ready for some good but short-lived meteor scatter conditions. The shower has a Zenithal Hourly Rate of 15, but it is known for producing meteor storms at various times in recent history. The last Leonid Storm was in 2001, but the first great meteor storm of modern times was the 1833 Leonids, kicking off the scientific study of meteors. The current spell of changeable weather is likely to set the template for terrestrial propagation this coming week. That is to say, periods of wet and windy weather when active weather fronts cross the country interspersed by brighter showery interludes. All of these features are capable of providing some good rain scatter conditions on the GHz bands. Because of this unsettled pattern, high pressure is banished to the south of the UK, over France, so if there are any vestiges of Tropo it will be most likely from southern England across the Channel. The Moon was at perigee yesterday, so path losses are still low, but with minimum declination on Wednesday, Moon visibility windows are short. 144MHz sky noise peaks at nearly 3300K on Tuesday but drops back to below 300K again by the end of next week. And that’s all from the propagation team this week.

On Tuesday, the Department of Health in KZN commissioned a brand new Linear Accelerator Machine for treating cancer at Grey’s hospital. Darren, Keri and Sky speak to HoD Dr. Sandile Tshabalala more about how many people the machine is likely to service on a single day, which patients get to use it, how cancer treatment with this machine occurs, and whether we have sufficient medical personnel to operate the machine.

If there’s one thing the 2020 presidential election showed us, it's that many polls were wrong again. Yes, they did correctly predict that Joe Biden would win, but they got all kinds of details wrong . Some national polls projected that Biden would win Wisconsin by more than 8 points. That was a gross overestimate, as he only won by less than 1 point. On Tuesday, Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll, discussed a hypothesis for why the polls were off. He says it has everything to do with Trump voters and their lack of willingness to participate in a poll. "The person who supports President Trump but is distrustful does think that polls are fake and has no desire to join in the collective discussion of politics, which is what polls represent," says Franklin. According to Franklin, this is similar to what happened four years ago and helps explain why the polls were so off then. To adapt, Franklin says this year his team tried a different methodology to capture some

Today’s word of the day is ‘presser’ as in the New York Mets held a press conference yesterday to introduce Steve Cohen. He used his time to talk about how bad he wants to win, spending money, getting the best players, wanting a World Series within 3-5 years; it was everything a Mets fan would want to hear. Was it all the right things to say? Maybe. What about Sandy Alderson? What did he have to say (0:06). On Tuesday’s show we talked about Tony La Russa and his DUI arrest… then what happened after the show was recorded? The transcript was released from La Russa’s arrest and it is a horrible look for him. The Chicago White Sox are in a bad place right now, but will Jerry Reinsdorf acknowledge this (21:38)? Marcus Stroman said he would never sign with the Chicago White Sox. He said for no amount of money would make it worth it (26:19). Review - Shithouse (31:10). A word about Tommy Heinsohn. Hall of fame coach and player. Don Mattingly and Kevin Cash were the winners of the Manager of the Year awards. Let’s talk about these awards and what it meant for Don Mattingly.

On Tuesday, November 3, millions of people across the United States headed to the polls to participate in the 2020 elections. The Democratic ticket of former Vice President Joe Biden and California Senator Kamala Harris defeated Republicans Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Following numerous days of intense and closely-watched vote counting, Biden and Harris were declared the winners. Most across the United States and around the world are in consensus, pointing out that the Biden-Harris ticket won legitimately. Following the election, Trump refused to admit that he lost and began waging a series of legal suits in order to maintain his grip on power. During the November election, voters also decided who would fill 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate. In the House, Democrats have maintained a majority, winning 218 seats compared to the Republicans 201 seats. While they have kept control over the House, some races have yet to be called. In the Senate, Republicans are in the lead with 48 seats compared to the Democrats 46 seats. A total of 51 seats are needed to form a majority. Party control of the Senate will likely be decided by January 2021, with two runoff elections taking place in Georgia. Races in North Carolina and Alaska also remained uncalled. The 2020 elections were unprecedented in many ways. First, this election was the first since 1992 in which an incumbent president failed to win re-election to a second term. Second, with more than 75 million votes, Biden won the most votes ever cast for a candidate in a U.S. presidential election. And third, this election also had the highest voter turnout since the election of 1900. About 160 million people were estimated to have cast their votes in 2020, bringing voter turnout to more than two-thirds of the countrys 239.2 million eligible voters. Today, we bring you a special on the 2020 elections and the impact of poor people and communities of color. During todays program, you will hear a post-election message to the nation delivered by the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Rev. Theoharis discusses the results of the election and what they mean for those of us most impacted. Then, you will hear an exclusive speech delivered by the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Rev. Barber discusses the power of voting in the lead up to the election and the importance of unleashing the participation of poor people and communities of color. Rev. Barber also argues that organizing among the poor, around an agenda that represents the concerns of the poor, can fundamentally change the political map of the United States and lead to policies that are just and representative for all people.

On Tuesday, for the third time in eight years, the Supreme Court will again hear a constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act. The Republican state officials bringing the case argue that Congress’s elimination of a penalty for failure to comply with the Act’s insurance mandate renders the entire law unconstitutional. The hearing takes place before the most conservative bench the Supreme Court has seen in decades and amid a raging pandemic that has left millions jobless and without health insurance. We’ll talk about what’s at stake.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Joe Biden expects to win the presidency after claiming victory in two Midwestern states. Pennsylvania is the big question mark, and people were in the streets last night there and around the country calling for every vote to be counted. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wants to win in the courts, no matter what the voters say. But legal experts say it won’t be a simple matter for him to take his case straight to the Supreme Court. And lastly, voters across the country rejected the drug war at every opportunity. Fifteen-plus states will now permit recreational marijuana use. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Here’s what we know, as of late last night, about the state of presidential race. Joe Biden was declared the winner in Michigan and Wisconsin, two states that could prove key to his victory. Yesterday Biden urged supporters to keep faith in the process and said QUOTE we’re on track to win this election. I’m optimistic about this outcome ENDQUOTE. And he has reason to be. As more votes were counted through the day, Donald Trump's path to victory in the Electoral College narrowed, while Biden gained leads in at least two states that could give him enough electoral votes to win. Trump falsely claimed victory even as Biden pulled ahead, and with millions of votes left to be counted. Twitter placed warnings on a number of Trump tweets spreading baseless conspiracy theories about the vote count. State elections officials around the country defended the integrity of their processes against Trump’s lies. Results in the following states were outstanding as of last night, according to the New York Times: Alaska, which will likely go to Trump; Arizona, which the Associated Press has called for Biden; Georgia, where Trump has a slight lead; Nevada, where Biden has the edge; North Carolina, where Trump leads; and Pennsylvania, which remains far from a final count. Biden has two hundred and fifty three confirmed electoral votes and would need seventeen more to win. President Trump has two hundred and fourteen confirmed electoral votes and would need fifty-six more to win. Five Senate races were uncalled in four states: Alaska, Georgia, Michigan and North Carolina. A sixth race, in Maine, was called yesterday afternoon for the Republican incumbent, Senator Susan Collins, the Times reports. Remember, like we’ve been saying, this process is going to take a while. TRUMP SEEKS COURT INTERVENTION Forget the will of the people – Trump wants a handful of judges decide this election in his favor. The Washington Post reports that the Trump campaign plans to file lawsuits to halt vote-counting in Michigan and Pennsylvania; seek to initiate a recount in Wisconsin; and intervene in litigation pending before the Supreme Court over Pennsylvania’s extended deadline for mail ballots. The campaign also said it would challenge guidance related to voter identification rules for some voters in Pennsylvania, one of a half dozen legal efforts announced by Republicans in the state. Trump said yesterday he wants the Supreme Court to decide which votes count. Legal experts told the Post that Trump cannot simply seek the Supreme Court’s intervention in the election and stop the counting of ballots. The court’s power is constrained, and justices can entertain only specific constitutional questions that have risen from lower courts. In Pennsylvania, Democratic Governor Tom Wolf called the effort to stop ballot-counting in the state an attempt to subvert the democratic process. In Wisconsin, Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe said the counting had gone exceptionally smoothly and that to suggest otherwise was an insult to election workers. In Michigan, Democrats said the lawsuit the Trump campaign filed seeking to halt vote-counting was preposterous. Democrats said they were unfazed by Trump’s legal posturing. Bob Bauer, a top attorney for the Biden campaign, told reporters yesterday QUOTE We’re winning the election, we’ve won the election, and we’re going to defend that election ENDQUOTE. Inshallah! VOTERS REJECT DRUG WAR The drug war lost big this week. The Guardian reports that in every state where the question was on the ballot, Americans voted to abolish criminal penalties for drug possession. On Tuesday, Arizona, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota, voted to decriminalize recreational marijuana. In Mississippi and South Dakota, medical marijuana will legalized. In Washington DC, psychedelic plants will be decriminalized. And in Oregon, all illegal drugs – including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines – will be decriminalized. A separate groundbreaking ballot measure there legalized psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, for therapeutic use. Oregon’s decriminalization initiative places an emphasis on treating addiction as a health issue, rather than one of law and order. Instead of jail time, those found in possession of drugs will have the option to either pay a $100 fine, or sign up for addiction services. The initiative also aims to reduce racial disparities in drug arrests and sentencing. Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the success of state marijuana measures should spur further development of the industry and possibly bring changes at a federal level whoever wins the White House. Recreational use of marijuana will now be legal in fifteen states plus the District of Columbia. And cannabis sales have surged during the coronavirus pandemic. In California, sales data for August showed a twenty six percent jump over the past year, while sales in Nevada were up thirty four percent. Folks, that’s not bad, but I’m confident that with time and dedication we can get those numbers even higher. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: The United States and the United Nations have issued statements calling for deescalation in Ethiopia, which is approaching civil war, the AP reports. Prime minister Abiy Ahmed yesterday ordered the military to confront the country’s well-armed Tigray regional government, accusing it of a deadly attack on a military base. International experts warned that any conflict in could be protracted and catastrophic for the region. Jair Bolsonaro’s eldest son Flávio has been charged with graft and money laundering as part of an investigation into the theft of public funds, the New York Times reports. The case remains under seal as the investigation continues, but the charges stem from a series of suspicious financial transactions at his former legislative office in the Rio de Janeiro State Assembly. Long story short, it looks like Flávio was taking kickbacks from his own staff. For the first time, astronomers have traced the source of mysterious cosmic energy pulses known as fast radio bursts. Four studies published in the journal Nature explain how scientists tracked a burst in April from inside our own Milky Way galaxy to a strange kind of star known as a magnetar, thirty two thousand light years from earth. So: it wasn’t aliens. For the first time yesterday, the US logged more than one hundred thousand new coronavirus cases in a single day. And at least seventeen states reported record-high numbers of current Covid-19 inpatients, according to data tracked by the Washington Post. This is going to be a long and difficult winter. Stay strong and healthy out there. That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report for the latest results and election information.
