Stuart M0SGV started soldering at age 8 in the 1950s, building crystal sets with a copper tip heated over a gas cooker. Nearly 70 years later he is still at the bench, building tube transmitters from 1949 magazine circuits, Hans Summers QMX and QDX rigs, a Michigan Mighty Mite, and a high voltage power supply built from scratch to power all of it.In this episode Stuart walks us through a dozen homebrew projects, shares his philosophy on project selection, and offers hard won advice on soldering and why leaded solder is non-negotiable. We also talk about his connections to the Michigan QRP Club and G QRP Club, and his next big project: a QO-100 geostationary satellite transceiver.Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.**SolderSmoke DISCORD INVITE**: https://discord.gg/GYVRZSBVFCConnect with us:* Discord: https://discord.gg/WVE3vVveWU* YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/redsummitrf* TikTok: @redsummitrf* X (formerly Twitter): @NJ7V_Support the channel:* Buy us a Coke: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RedSummitRF* Red Summit RF Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/redsummitrf#apdz #HamRadio #QRP #Workbench #Electronics #homebrewradio #DIYradio #amateurradio #hamradiopodcast #scratchbuild #tuberadio #vacuumtube #vintageradio #QCX #QMX #HansSummers #QO100 #satellite #GQRP #MichiganQRP #FourDaysinMay #soldering #FDIM

When the Klingons are on the rise it's up to Kirk and team to thwart an upcoming invasion, but when the Organians are a little too chill, it's time to burst into a beam of light and put some Qo'nos and Earth perspectives aside. Will this renaissance world survive? How breezy are those outfits? Will the Kling'ns be back? It's the episode that introduces stage-one of a loafed evolution.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing listGet a thing at podshop.bizGreatest Trek is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of Greatest Trek Hosted on Acast.

GB2RS News Sunday, the 24th of May 2026 The news headlines: Volunteer at the RSGB National Radio Centre Buy your RSGB 2026 Convention ticket at 2025 prices Tonight@8 is back in June The RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park welcomes thousands of people through its doors each month, and in 2025 it was recognised in TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards. Much of this success can be attributed to the amazing team of volunteers. They share a strong sense of pride, enthusiasm and have a wonderful team spirit, all with the purpose of promoting amateur radio. If this sounds like something you would like to be part of, the NRC is now looking for extra volunteers to join its team. If you enjoy meeting people and are able to work a minimum of one or two days per month, get in touch with the NRC Coordinator, Martyn Baker, G0GMB, via nrc.support@rsgb.org.uk. Find out more about volunteering at the NRC by watching a short video on the RSGB's YouTube channel at youtube.com/thersgb and selecting the ‘Volunteering for the RSGB' playlist. The RSGB wants to make its Convention as accessible to as many people as possible. That's why it has frozen ticket prices, and you can buy this year's ticket at last year's price! This means you can make the most of the early-bird pricing and buy your weekend ticket for just £49. On top of this, the Society has confirmed that, as usual, under-21s can attend the Convention for free. This week, the RSGB also announced further speakers to its growing programme. You'll find engaging and informative presentations from Adrian Ciuperca, KO8SCA, on the 3Y0K DXpedition to Bouvet Island, as well as Christian Entsfellner, DL3MBG, on the DARC QSL Bureau and the cooperation with the RSGB. It has also confirmed that Ian Henry, G0LFT will be delivering a lecture on understanding FT8 through DNA-sequencing parallels, which was featured in the May 2026 edition of RadCom. Go to rsgb.org/convention to secure your tickets and guarantee your place at this not-to-be-missed event. The Convention will be held at Kents Hill Park Conference Centre in Milton Keynes between the 9th and 11th of October. Following a break in May, the RSGB's Tonight@8 series is back on Monday, the 8th of June, with a fascinating webinar by John Warburton, G4IRN, on building a remote station. If you live in an area where restrictions such as conservation areas may limit your activity, this is for you. Following his move to rural Shropshire in 2020 and encountering conservation area restrictions, he decided to develop a fully remote HF contest and DX station. In this presentation, John outlines the search for a suitable site and the key technical and operational lessons gained from several years of remote operation over Internet and 4G links. You can join the webinar live via the RSGB's YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB or its special BATC channel at batc.org.uk/live/rsgb. Keep up to date with the latest programme by visiting rsgb.org/webinars The RSGB Board has announced further updates to the Board Liaison roles. Go to rsgb.org/ board to view the full list of responsibilities for each Board Director. RSGB Members will be able to use this as a guide to help them know who to contact if they have questions, concerns or ideas about any areas of the Society's activities. You can contact each Board Director via the email address shown by their name. The RSGB team had a very successful time at the Dayton Hamvention last week. They spoke to hundreds of attendees, signed up a lot of new members, and were delighted by the very positive response to the RSGB app. Many radio amateurs hadn't realised that as an RSGB member, they can read RadCom Basics, RadCom Plus and 25 years of back issues of RadCom all in one place and were keen to sign up to membership as a result. Two AGM trophies were also presented in person by RSGB President Bob Beebe, GU4YOX and RSGB Board Chair Stewart Bryant, G3YSX. Look out for a fuller report in the July issue of RadCom. International Museums Weekends 2026, also known as ‘Museums on the Air', will take place on the 20th, 21st, 27th and 28th of June. Venues from all over the world, including ships, castles and air museums, are expected to take part.

The CQ World Wide WPX CW Contest starts at 0000UTC on Saturday, the 30th and runs until 2359UTC on Sunday, the 31st of May. Using CW on the 160 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and serial number. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 21st of May Last weekend's geomagnetic disturbance didn't turn out to be quite as bad as predicted. A high-speed solar wind stream from a massive coronal hole and a coronal mass ejection caused the Kp index to rise to 6.33 on Friday, the 15th of May, but it subsided, and we were soon back to more normal figures in the range of 2 to 4. The last week has seen more usual Kp figures in the range of 2 to 3, which bodes well for HF propagation. Unfortunately, the solar flux index has been stuck in the low one hundreds, ranging from 109 on the 16th to 106 on the 20th. It rose to 114 on the 21st, which may continue into the coming week. Meanwhile, ESA's Solar Orbiter has been monitoring solar activity on the far side of the Sun, which continues to feature a number of large sunspot groups. A number of C-class Flares and one low-level M-flare have been detected on the far side. We will have to wait until next week for that activity to rotate to an Earth-facing position. Much of the activity on the higher HF bands is currently due to Sporadic-E, and Jim, G3YLA, reports several multi-hop paths showing up between Europe, the Caribbean and the USA on the 6m band. A quick check on the 10m band revealed only low-power beacons out of Spain and Andorra, unfortunately. NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may rise to 115 tomorrow, the 25th, and then increase to 135 by the end of the month. The start of the coming week should see settled geomagnetic conditions, but we are predicted to see a rise in the Kp index to 4 on Wednesday, the 27th. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The recent lengthy period of indifferent weather has now changed over to a predominantly high-pressure type. This should last through to the end of the coming week when a possible return to unsettled weather edges up from the south. Starting with the large-scale pressure pattern, it will be a period of improving tropo conditions for the VHF and UHF bands as the high builds over the country. The conditions should cover a large area across the North Sea and into the near continent. It is often the case that lift conditions may be improved by nighttime cooling and fade slightly during the day, unless over a sea path, which doesn't change much from day to night. The late May and early June period is a reasonable time for meteor activity, although this is mostly minor. Remember that there is still the tail end of the Eta Aquarids to work through this month. The solar conditions have offered up some reasonable coronal holes recently, although the light evenings don't allow visual confirmation, the Kp index going above 7 should make life more interesting for aurora. Needless to say, rain scatter will not feature in a predominantly high-pressure period of weather. Lastly, a thought about sporadic-E, which is coming into full bloom now and is typically at a peak around early to mid-June. There have been some successful openings on the 6m band with some multi-hop paths to the Far East and across to the States and Caribbean. On the basis that jet streams may be useful indicators of where Sporadic-E is more likely, the coming week will see the main jet stream flow being pushed well north to a typical summer position from Iceland to Scandinavia. This might make paths to Scandinavia and the Baltic a good option, including northern multi-hop paths to the Far East. EME now and Moon declination is falling again, going negative tomorrow, the 25th. Combined with increasing path losses, conditions will worsen as the week progresses, but there is still plenty of time to make some QSOs, albeit with shorter Moon windows and lower peak elevation. 144MHz sky temperature is low but increasing to moderate by Friday, the 29th. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

GB2RS News Sunday, the 17th of May 2026 The news headlines: The RSGB releases a new set of mock exam papers Which RSGB Convention workshop will you take part in? Listen to Milton Keynes Hospital radio for an interview with the RSGB National Radio Centre Coordinator The RSGB Exams Team is pleased to publish new mock exam papers for Foundation and Intermediate levels. There are three for each level, and you can find them on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/mock-exams. These take into account all the changes to the syllabus and exam question bank which have been made since the last sets of mock exam papers were published. The Exams Team will not be publishing new mock papers for the Full level as the entire Full licence question bank is now available online. Candidates and Trainers can create their own full-level mock papers using the questions at rsgb.org/exam-questions The RSGB is running a practical and thought-provoking workshop for radio amateurs, makers, and home constructors, who want to understand what AI really is, what it is good at, where it can go wrong and why it matters. The session will run during the RSGB Convention on both Saturday, the 10th and Sunday, the 11th of October. It will use plain English and real examples from personal projects and will show how large language models can act as useful thinking partners for learning, writing, coding and building. At only £15 for a two-hour session, this is an opportunity not to be missed. As well as this, the Society is running an additional workshop on Friday, the 9th of October. In this six-hour workshop, you will learn how to use the NanoVNA effectively, understand its practical limitations and apply it confidently in your shack. You will also learn to calibrate the device correctly and complete hands-on exercises using your own NanoVNA. This RSGB member-only workshop costs £50 and includes lunch and refreshments. Both workshops are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to 20 people per session. Book now at rsgb.org/convention Listen out for RSGB National Radio Centre Coordinator Martyn Baker, G0GMB on Milton Keynes Hospital radio tomorrow, Monday the 18th of May.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 14th of May 2026 We hate to start the report on a negative note, but we are about to experience unsettled geomagnetic conditions over the next few days. The culprit is a large coronal hole on the Sun, which rotated into an Earth-facing position on Thursday, the 14th of May. This large coronal hole, an area with open magnetic field lines, has already been responsible for an increase in the solar wind speed to more than 420 kilometres per second. We can expect it to get worse as the weekend progresses. The hole spans the solar equator, so it is ideally placed to create maximum disruption to Earth. If the Bz interplanetary magnetic field swings south, we could see the Kp index rise and maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, decline. If this happens, expect poor conditions until tomorrow, Monday, the 18th of May. Meanwhile, the solar flux index declined to 103 on Thursday, the 14th of May, which starts to put us in a difficult spot. Usually, we say that a solar flux index of 100 or more is needed for the 10m band to open. So it may be that you'll need to move lower in frequency for reliable HF openings. DX to be worked next week includes 3B9IDX from Rodrigues Island, T31TTT on Kanton Island, the last few days of XT2AW from Burkina Faso, and FO/F6BCW in French Polynesia. The Propagation Studies Committee's space weather station at Baldock identified a solar flare on Sunday, the 10th of May. The Doppler Flash, or Sudden Frequency Deviation, was triggered by an M5.7 solar flare that began at 1319UTC. While ‘Flash' is a good term for the fast-rising edge, the GB0PSC receiver has captured fine detail on the 20MHz signal from the WWV station in Colorado, showing multiple oscillations over a few minutes. X-ray radiation from the flare quickly increased absorption in the D region, reducing signal levels into the noise after ten minutes. But those minutes are crucial as they provide data to test whether X-rays or extreme UV from the flare were responsible for the Doppler shift and propagation anomaly. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index could rise to be in the 120 to 130 range, which puts us back in the fun zone. Unfortunately, and for the reasons mentioned earlier, we can expect to see a Kp index of 5 this weekend, but it will eventually decline to perhaps 2 or 3 as the week progresses. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The background pattern of unsettled weather remains with us for a while over the UK as a whole, but subtle changes from a cold northerly to a warmer southerly wind will bring higher temperatures back again. To end the previous week, the cold northerly has brought some heavy showers with hail and thunder in places, and the GHz bands will have seen some rain scatter opportunities. The transition to a more southerly origin of the air will be taking place over this weekend, and although high pressure develops later in the week, we may have to wait until after midweek for any chance of tropo. The next few weeks encompass a couple of minor meteor showers, the Tau Herculids and daytime Arietids, to add to the random background input. There should be something to interest those looking for meteor scatter activity, and of course, it all contributes to the ‘fuel' for Sporadic-E, which is largely comprised of meteor ionisation. The solar activity has recently been offering a few minor enhancements of the Kp index, but no great results on the aurora front. Sporadic-E has been producing results on 6m digital modes, where there have been brief openings to VK, XT, DU2 and the USA for those lucky enough to catch them. The usual technique of checking during the two main activity windows of mid-morning and late afternoon should improve your chances. If you get an opportunity to look at the jet stream patterns, it can be worthwhile trying paths that cross these since it's believed they are good sources of atmospheric gravity waves that can reach the E region to aid the production of Sporadic-E. EME now: with maximum declination, the period of longest moon windows, now almost coinciding with perigee, the period of lowest path loss, conditions are at their best for the northern hemisphere. Moon declination is positive, reaching maximum tomorrow, Monday, the 18th of May. Path losses are at their lowest as we reach perigee today, the 17th. The 144MHz sky temperature is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 23rd of April Last week's HF propagation was dominated by the effects of a high-speed stream from a large coronal hole on the Sun. This pushed the Kp index up to 4 and 5 at times, with the result that maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, were lowered. The ionosphere struggled, and often the MUF over a 3,000km path was below 21MHz. Yes, there were some openings up to 10m, but they were generally weak. Checks showed that paths opened up to Brazil, Kenya and Chile on the 10m band using FT8, but the signals were well down in the noise and barely workable. Get used to this, as it could be the norm for the next few years! Meanwhile, the solar flux index increased to 116 by Thursday, the 16th of April, no doubt aided by active sunspot group 4420. Next week, NOAA forecasts that the solar flux index could rise to 125. It also predicts that the Kp index may remain low due to a lack of coronal hole activity. Fingers crossed that we don't have any coronal mass ejections over the next week. If this pans out as predicted, we could have some decent HF conditions over the next seven days. Yes, the MUFs may be lower, but 14, 18 and perhaps 21MHz could be usable, with very occasional openings on 24 and 28MHz. DX to be worked this week includes TX9W from the Marquesas Islands; VP9KF in Bermuda; 7P8WR from Lesotho; C5B, C5C and C5D in The Gambia; D60DX in Comoros; and JD1BMH operating from Ogasawara And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The strong region of high pressure will remain with us for the next two weeks. So tropo should be considered a first-choice mode for a while. The main criteria for the quality of any resulting tropo is moisture. This is because moisture is a component in the calculation of the refractive index of the air. High pressure usually produces dry air above any temperature inversion, but we may not always get the moisture below the inversion. The end of last week was good with reports of beacons in Norway and Sweden into JO02 on 1.3GHz because of moisture present below the inversion. However, if the dry easterly wind returns, it may not go so well. Meteor scatter should continue to be uplifted by the declining Lyrids meteor stream, which peaked last week, and rain scatter is off the menu since the charts are dominated by high-pressure systems. Aurora is showing as occasional weak alerts, but apart from the odd fluttery signals on the LF bands, nothing too interesting at the moment. As usual, watch for the Kp index going up to 5. Keeping the best until last, we are approaching the period when Sporadic-E usually becomes a mode of interest. Work is well underway on a rewrite of the Propquest website, which should be ready soon. This will be the go-to place for the daily updates during the 2026 Sporadic-E season. EME now, and the Moon is moving into a lower noise position. Declination is high, but falling, and path losses will increase as we move away from the Moon's perigee, its closest point to Earth, which occurred on Friday, the 17th of April. Apogee, the Moon's furthest point from Earth and the point of highest path losses, occurs on Sunday, the 17th of May. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8499OMELIA III DOM. DI PASQUA - ANNO A (Lc 24,13-35)di Giacomo Biffi Siamo alla sera del giorno in cui il Signore è risorto, press'a poco alla stessa ora che oggi ci vede qui radunati. Sulla strada che da Gerusalemme conduce a Emmaus avviene un incontro, semplice in apparenza e straordinario nella sua verità; un incontro che san Luca descrive in una pagina davvero ammirevole per la sapienza della costruzione letteraria, per il tono di calda umanità che la pervade, per la vivezza della fede che tutta la ispira: una fede che trova all'inizio difficoltà a irradiarsi ma che conquista a poco a poco i cuori.È una pagina ricca di luce, che domanderebbe una meditazione tranquilla e prolungata, mentre nel breve spazio di un'omelia ci è consentita soltanto qualche veloce annotazione.In cammino (Lc 24,13). I personaggi dell'episodio sono tutti viandanti.I due, che l'evangelista definisce «discepoli», avanzano sì materialmente sul loro percorso, ma l'amarezza che hanno in cuore impedisce ogni reale progresso dell'anima: discorrono e discutono, ma da soli non arrivano a nessuna conclusione rasserenante. Esteriormente hanno una mèta precisa, che è il villaggio dove sono diretti (Lc 24,28), ma di dentro sono del tutto disorientati e persi.Possiamo vedervi l'immagine eloquente dell'uomo che è pellegrino sulla terra, che trascorre fatalmente da un'età all'altra della vita senza potersi arrestare e senza diventare più saggio, all'oscuro di dove potranno portarlo mai i suoi passi stentati.Quella di indagare, di farsi infinite domande che rimangono senza risposta, di muoversi da un dubbio all'altro e da un'ipotesi all'altra, di lasciarsi incantare or dall' una or dall' altra delle varie dottrine che via via si affacciano e tramontano sulla ribalta della moda culturale, è un po' la sorte quasi inevitabile dei figli di Adamo e il peso quasi connaturale della loro esistenza: È questa - dice il Libro sacro - un'occupazione penosa che Dio ha imposto agli uomini, perché in essa fatichino (Qo 1,13).Questo uomo inquieto, sempre scontento di sé e delle vicende in cui si trova coinvolto, sempre frastornato da mille problemi irresolubili, ha bisogno - un bisogno estremo e assoluto, anche se spesso inconsapevole o addirittura negato - di qualcuno che gli dia delle certezze cui aggrappare il suo destino, delle risposte che nessuna critica possa scalzare, delle verità che costituiscano l'approdo del suo travaglio.Ebbene, questo qualcuno c'è, ed è il Signore risorto. Questo è il messaggio sostanziale della festa di Pasqua.Il brano evangelico ci notifica anche il fatto consolante e commovente che il Vincitore della morte è un Signore accondiscendente, capace di farsi pellegrino con noi e di accompagnarsi a noi sui sentieri polverosi della vita: Gesù in persona si accostò e camminava con loro (Lc 24,15). È un Signore che, per non abbagliarci, vela la sua gloria pasquale e si presenta con un'apparenza senza splendore. È un Signore che per toccarci il cuore sceglie il metodo paziente e lungo di dialogare con noi e di rischiararci a poco a poco con la sua luce.Speravamo (Lc 24,31). Speravano: dunque ormai questi uomini non sperano più. Sono delusi e non si attendono più niente dall'avventura di Gesù di Nazaret, che pure un tempo li aveva affascinati.Sembrano convinti - come molti nostri contemporanei - che ormai è cominciata l'epoca, per così dire, post-cristiana. Non si rendono conto che il Figlio di Dio crocifisso e risorto riempie di sé l'intera storia del mondo, è l'ultima e definitiva parola del Padre, è l'avvenimento finale nel quale tutte le vicissitudini delle creature si inverano e si concludono: Gesù Cristo e lo stesso ieri, oggi e sempre! (Eb 13,8).Come càpita a qualche acculturato dei nostri giorni, i due viaggiatori credevano di essere «post-cristiani» ed erano invece appena «pre-cristiani»: l'assimilazione all'evento pasquale, nel quale tutta la verità del Vangelo si compendia, era ancora davanti a loro; e ancora essi dovevano percepirlo per lasciarsene trasformare.I loro occhi erano incapaci di riconoscerlo (Lc 24,16). Gesù era già accanto a loro, eppure essi non arrivavano ad avvedersene. Perché?Erano rimasti turbati e scandalizzati dalla scena spaventosa del Golgota, che probabilmente essi avevano seguito da lontano. La ragione oggettiva, per cui è difficile anche a noi accogliere il disegno di salvezza, è che esso è sì tutto teso a realizzare la felicità e la sublimazione dell'uomo, ma prevede come percorso obbligato il cammino della croce; e questo è insopportabile se non ci si arrende senza riserve alla volontà del Padre nostro che è nei cieli.È duro e ostico anche a noi ciò che era duro e ostico ai discepoli di Emmaus, e cioè l'accettare, con tutte le sue conseguenze per la nostra esistenza, che bisognava che il Cristo sopportasse queste sofferenze per entrare nella sua gloria (Lc 24,26). Lo riconobbero (Lc 24,31). Quando i loro occhi sì aprono ed essi riconoscono il Signore risorto, nostra vita (cf. Col 3,4), giudice dei vivi e dei morti (At 10,43), cioè pietra di paragone e misura di ogni atto e di ogni creatura? Quando, invece di discorrere e di discutere (cf. Lc 24,15), si pongono docilmente alla scuola delle divine Scritture con la convinzione che tutte parlano di Cristo e della sua Pasqua.Accostarsi alla parola di Dio è indispensabile, ma ancora non basta: il momento proprio del riconoscimento, ci ha detto il Vangelo, è nello spezzare il pane (Lc 24,35). La lettura, lo studio, la meditazione della Bibbia costituiscono il mezzo privilegiato per farci diventare intelligenti ascoltatori del Signore risorto. Ma perché si possa veramente ed esistenzialmente incontrare il Salvatore è decisiva l'esperienza ecclesiale e l'umile partecipazione all'affetto e alla fattiva donazione a Cristo della sua Sposa.E poiché il mistero della Chiesa si risolve nel mistero dell'Eucaristia (che è, per così dire, la Chiesa in boccio) e il mistero dell'Eucaristia è già in sintesi tutto il mistero della Chiesa (che è l'Eucaristia sbocciata), si capisce perché la bella pagina evangelica, che ci è stata proposta, ci insegna che il Signore, protagonista dell'evento pasquale, deve essere conosciuto e riconosciuto primariamente ed essenzialmente «nella frazione del pane».

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday, the 26th of March 2026. After last weekend's HF disruption, the latter half of the week was fairly settled. Last weekend, the Kp index rose to 7, sparking visible aurora around the UK. The disruption continued, on and off, until Tuesday, the 24th of March, when the Kp index fell below 3 again. The disruption was caused by a solar wind stream which had a Bz pointing south and reached speeds of more than 600 kilometres per second. The south-pointing Bz meant it more easily coupled with the Earth's magnetic field, hence the disruption. Meanwhile, the solar flux index has picked up, rising from being in the 100s to hit 140 on Thursday, the 26th of March. This, combined with a lower Kp index, has helped the ionosphere, and we saw better maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, over a 3,000km path later in the week. But the threat of more geomagnetic disturbances has not gone away! Two large coronal holes are now Earth-facing and threaten to push the Kp index up once again. NOAA predicts that the Kp index could rise to 4 on Monday, the 30th of March and 5 on Friday, the 3rd and Saturday, the 4th of April. The solar flux index is predicted to fall into the 130s and 120s again during the coming week, although this is still enough to provide good ionospheric propagation. This may be your last chance to work the CY0S Sable Island DXpedition off the coast of Nova Scotia, which ends around Tuesday, the 31st of March. Other DX stations to work this week include S21WD in Bangladesh, OX3LX in Greenland, CE0Y/DJ4EL on Easter Island, YJ1JXZ in Vanuatu, XX9W in Macao, T31TTT on Kanton Island and V4/SP9FIH from St. Kitts. To recap, March and April are good months for North-South HF propagation, although we may see MUFs fall slightly with 10m band openings becoming rarer, at least until the Sporadic-E season starts in May. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current period of rather more changeable weather will continue to be the main weather pattern during the rest of the month. However, with a large area of high pressure to the west of the UK, there will be times when the weather feels more settled and possibly with a hint of tropo briefly just before midweek. For the rest of the time, active weather fronts will bring occasional bands of rain or showers with the possibility of some rain scatter for GHz operators. Spring is always a good time to keep an eye on the aurora since the geomagnetic disturbances are more likely around the equinox. The Kp index, which describes the state of the Earth's magnetic field, increases at times of potential aurora. So, remember that once the Kp index gets above 5, it's worth monitoring the bands for signs of fluttery or raspy signals. Meteor scatter is still under the influence of random activity. As we head into April, we are getting closer to the next important meteor shower, the Lyrids, toward the end of the month. Sporadic-E is currently in a dormant state, so we are not expecting that to feature much in reports for another month. However, if you feel the need to check, use the comprehensive 10m beacons distributed around Europe to see the state of the upper HF bands for early signs of Sporadic-E propagation. Last week was a busy one for EME with the Dubus 5.7GHz activity and the CY0 and T7 DXpeditions being worked by many. Moon declination starts the weekend high, dropping to negative on Tuesday, while path losses continue to increase towards apogee on Tuesday, the 7th of April. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
Hello and Welcome to the DX Corner for yourweekly Dose of DX. I'm Bill, AJ8B.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, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.com5X - Uganda – Richard, HB9FHV,is currently in Uganda for a brief visit with basic radio equipment until February 28, 2026. He plans limited activity as 5X4TA almost daily on the 10, 15, and 20 meter bands between 1500Z and 1600Z. TZ - Mali - Ulmar, DK1CE, should be QRV as TZ1CE until March 1. He will be doing mostly FT8 and SSB and says when he's on FT8 he gives stations outside Europe precedent at alltimes. He plans special attention to 160M FT8, 80M FT8 and 6M and will update daily on Club Log, the LoTW log will be after the operation. FJ - St. Barthelemy – On February 12, Andreas, DK6AS, began his February/March 2026 FJ/DK6AS operation from St. Barts. He'll be QRV on CW, FT4 and CT8 on 3.5 through 50 MHz, including participation in the ARRL International DX CW Contest. QSL via DK6AS either direct or via the bureau.VP5 - Turks and Caicos Islands - The Russell family (WD5JR, N5VOF and KJ5CMP) are in the Turks and Caicos Islands until February 23. They have an IC-7300 and KX2 running 5 to 100 watts into a 17 foot whip with coil and EFHW. They are active as VP5/HC on 7 through 50 MHz on SSB and CW.

J5 - Guinea-Bissau - The J51A DXpedition team, heading for Bijagos Archipelago (AF-020) in the February-March time frame giving the following update. "J51A on QO-100: We were asked to be active on QO-100 satellite, too. We learnt that J5 has NEVER been active on QO-100 before.So, we decided to give it a try for a lot of ATNO contacts on SSB, CW and FT8. However, none of us has operated over satellite before. Please bear with us if we do something stupid or unexpected. Just let us know by E-Mail ( j51a@gmx.de ) and we'llfix any misbehavior A.S.A.P. Technically; we will use 50 MHz as the IF band. It means that we cannot do 50 MHz when on QO-100, and vice versa. QO-100 operation will start a couple of days after the other bands. Please watch the "News" sectionon www.qrz.com/db/J51A for more info." OX – Greenland - From February 17th to March 9th, 2026, Bo, OZ1DJJ, will be active as OX3LX from Aasiaat City/Island (GP38NQ, NA-134) during this period. Please note, this is nota DXpedition but rather a business trip, so activity may be limited. 8Q - Maldives – Alex, OE5AUH, is planning a holiday operation as 8Q7AH from Rasdhoo Atoll March 1-10. RI1F - Franz Jozef Land - The Russian DX Team is preparing a major DXpedition to Franz Josef Land (RI1FJL), The Arctic Ocean archipelago, ranked 44th globally and 26th in North America. The operation will feature at least five high-power radio stations running continuously on all HF bands for 15 days in September 2026, aiming to contact as many stations as possible, including those in distant areas.The total budget for this trip is close to $80,000, making it their most expensive expedition yet, and financial support from DX clubs and individuals is crucial for its success. Donations are encouraged and can be made through the team's website - https://www.rudxt.org/ri1fjl or directlyvia PayPal un7jid@mail.ru. In addition to the previously mentioned KP5/NP3VI interview, the DX Mentor podcast will be with Hal, W8HC. Hal will bediscussing the 9U1RU DXpedition that logged almost 180,000 QSOs. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Using SSB on the 80 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and serial number. On Sunday, the 22nd of February, the UK Microwave Group EHF Band Contest runs from 0800 to 1700 UTC. Using all modes on 76 to 241GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday, the 12th of February. It has been a good time for HF DX. Settled geomagnetic conditions and a fairly high solar flux index has meant the ionosphere has had time to shine. With the Kp index not exceeding 4.33, and generally being in the ones and twos, coupled with a solar flux index in the 160s, this has meant that the upper HF bands have been humming. This is despite many relatively minor C- and M-class solar flares. DX heard or worked this week includes stations in Vietnam, India, Australia and New Zealand on the 10m band, even with modestly equipped stations. DX being chased includes the KP5/NP3VI Desecheo Island DXpedition near Puerto Rico. This has been difficult, often because they are running low power on their remotely controlled rigs. But UK stations have got through on all bands from 40 to 10m. Due to deteriorating sea conditions, they have delayed equipment recovery until the 3rd of March, so you still have time to work them. The next big DXpedition to look forward to is 3Y0K from Bouvet Island. Due to technical problems with their ship, the operation has now been delayed and will start around the 26th of February. With the path to Bouvet being almost due south from the UK, propagation predictions suggest that the path should be open from around 0730UTC until 1830UTC, up to 10m, with 21MHz being open from around 0800 to 1000UTC and again from 1600 to 1800UTC. Outside of these times, look for a path on the 20, or even 30 or 40m bands, in the evening and night. FT8 will be the most favourable mode, but CW and SSB are possible. However, remember they will be using split frequency operation. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will increase to be in the 160 to 180 range. Geomagnetic conditions may start the week settled, with a predicted Kp index of 2, but we may expect more unsettled conditions as the week progresses, with a predicted Kp index of 4 from the 16th to the 21st of February. So, get your HF Dxing in early next week! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather is often described as blocked when we see long-lasting high pressure, which hangs around for weeks at a time and is a gift for tropo on VHF. However, right next door to a blocked high you will probably find a low-pressure region, which is also blocked for the same reason. Currently, we are in the middle of a prolonged period of blocked low pressure, hence the rain and absence of tropo. The position of the low varies a bit, of course, so sometimes we will have milder southerly winds with rain and at other times colder northerlies with snow. We have the full variety in the coming week or so, and that means no tropo for VHF operators, but plenty of rain scatter for the GHz folk. The meteor scatter position hasn't changed since last week's news, so we are once again confined to random activity and, for this, early morning hours are usually best. Aurora alerts continue to trickle through, and as we approach the spring equinox, the chances of auroras improve, but there is a little way to go yet. Lastly, thoughts of Sporadic-E remain dormant since we are some way short of the typical early season openings of late April and May. As usual, consider checking the propquest.co.uk graphs occasionally, which have shown minor peaks of the foEs, or critical frequency of the Es layer, in the early evening on some days. The Moon reached perigee, its closest point to the Earth, on Tuesday, the 10th of February. The Moon is moving toward apogee on Sunday, the 22nd of February, meaning path loss will gradually increase throughout the week as the Moon's distance grows. Cosmic background noise is relatively low during this period, which helps maintain a better signal-to-noise ratio. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
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!

Welcome back to the Sorry to Interrupt podcast! With just days before the MLB Winter Meetings, Sean is joined by Steve Duda to discuss the Yankees offseason plans. The guys start by breaking down Trent Grisham accelting the QO and what it means for their pursuits of Bellinger and Tucker before they dive into FA predictions and possible trade options the Yankees could make this winter. Next, they take a quick trip around the league and react to some of the notable signings that have taken place to date and also make predictions for what big moves could take place for the major Free Agents and trade chips. Everyone enjoy the pod!
On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo react to the news that the Mets agreed to a deal with reliever Devin Williams, while delivering a full preview of next week's MLB Winter Meetings. First up, the guys look at the deal for Devin, including what it means for the Mets and the future of Edwin Diaz. Later, Connor and Joe dive into stories of friction in the Mets clubhouse, explore trade scenarios surrounding Kodai Senga, break down deals for Dylan Cease and Ryan Helsley, and go Down on the Farm in search of more relief help.

The Jets' contentious QB carousel spins as Aaron Glenn avoids confirming Tyrod Taylor although we all know, while the Giants face dual crises: Abdul Carter missed a key meeting, and Cam Skattebo is fighting fans over his WWE ringside shove! Plus, a surprise in the Bronx: Trent Grisham accepts the QO, forcing Cashman to rethink the Yankees' entire offseason! All that and Gio doing a great Tom Izzo impression and Jerry unveiling his new comic book. We even have time to discuss food co-ops.
Trent Grisham stuns Cashman by accepting the QO. Now let's look at Yankees' offseason plans. Could Pete Alonso-to-Boston happen/ Plus, the Shedeur Sanders home invasion shocker, Aaron Glenn's QB dilemma, Mike Tomlin's hard-line advice on retaliation, and Gio's great Tom Izzo impression, all wrapped up with a caller's unbelievable motorcycle accident story
BT & Sal unleash a torrent of fury over Trent Grisham's shocking acceptance of the $22 million Qualifying Offer (QO), arguing it's the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason" that kills the Yankees' chances at big targets like Cody Bellinger. Sal pushes for a bold trade for Steven Kwan, while BT fears Cashman will use the QO as an excuse to "roll back" the same failed 2025 roster. The heat continues with Three Random Questions, including a Giants legend showdown: Phil Simms vs. Boomer Esiason in a one-game Super Bowl, a gross debate on gum seats at MSG vs. public humiliation, and whether they could survive prison with a phone. Plus, Giants star Cam Skattebo is put under the microscope for clapping back at critics after his WWE ringside scuffle, and the hosts reveal their fiery early leans for NFL Week 12 Parlay Perfection.
BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Yankees' front office after Trent Grisham shocked the industry by accepting the Qualifying Offer (QO) for $22 million, a move both hosts agree was a colossal misread by the team driven by the lure of a compensatory draft pick. BT argues the QO acceptance is the "first potential domino to a horrendous offseason," fearing the added salary and player complexity will make the Yankees reluctant to pursue top targets like Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker. Sal pushes back, insisting the Yankees can (and must) absorb the cost and still be aggressive, specifically needing to trade prospects like Dominguez or Jones for an elite piece like Steven Kwan to truly improve. The hosts also break down the financial impact and player fit, with the conversation focusing on the Yankees' urgent need for a right-handed bat (like Alex Bregman) and the danger of running back the same "not-a-championship-team" roster. Ultimately, they agree that if the QO prevents the necessary aggressive moves, it signals a failure to adapt as Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole's competitive window shrinks.
BT & Sal go head-to-head on the stunning news of Trent Grisham accepting the $22 million qualifying offer (QO), a move most experts (and the Yankees' front office) reportedly didn't see coming. Sal is convinced this is an "F" for Brian Cashman, arguing that Grisham is an "October liability" who strikes out too much and whose defensive decline is a major issue, especially against quality pitching. Tierney, however, views the reaction as an overreaction, arguing that the one-year deal is manageable and provides insurance, essentially confirming that a frequently injured player like Stanton will be forced to DH. The duo debates whether Grisham's decision was "foolish" for his own long-term business and if the Yankees can really afford to keep him off the field in the postseason.
Grant explains why Parsons surrounding cast hasn't been nearly good enough- and reacts to the news of Woodruff accepting the QO from the Brewers. Mike Clemens joins to talk Packers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Welcome to Episode 118 of Tablesetters. The offseason opened with a major move, as Josh Naylor signed a five-year deal with the Seattle Mariners, immediately reshaping the first-base market. His return reinforces Seattle's lineup core and removes one of the most dependable bats from free agency. We break down why the deal came together quickly, why other teams never seriously entered the mix, and how his signing affects clubs still searching for first-base or middle-of-the-order help. Midway through the live show, the conversation shifted when news broke that the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward. Rodriguez missed the entire 2025 season with arm injuries, but the Angels are betting on the upside he showed before the setbacks. Ward, under control through 2026, gives Baltimore a steady right-handed bat and immediate outfield stability. We break down how the trade fits each team's broader offseason plan and what it suggests about their priorities moving forward. The episode also covers one of the most unusual qualifying-offer cycles since the system's creation. Four players accepted the QO — Trent Grisham, Gleyber Torres, Shota Imanaga, and Brandon Woodruff — marking the first time more than three players have taken it in the same offseason. Grisham's decision is the most surprising, coming off a breakout 34-homer season in a thin outfield market. His acceptance raises the Yankees' payroll above the third luxury-tax tier and signals a calculated one-year bet on himself. Torres returns to Detroit looking for a healthier 2026 after playing through a sports hernia. Imanaga chose a reset with Chicago after a late-season downturn, and Woodruff accepted as expected as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery. On the other side, nine players rejected the QO — Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, Framber Valdez, Dylan Cease, Ranger Suárez, Edwin Díaz, Zac Gallen, and Michael King — a group largely expected to pursue multi-year deals despite draft-pick compensation. Their decisions, combined with Grisham coming off the board, further thin the center-field market and shift clubs toward potential trade options. This QO cycle reflects a winter shaped by uncertainty around future labor conditions, stricter tax penalties, and mixed performances from several major free agents. In San Diego, the Padres' ownership evaluation remains ongoing. The Seidler family is formally exploring a potential sale while working through internal disputes and long-term financial considerations. The front office maintains a “business as usual” stance, but the review introduces real questions about payroll strategy and organizational stability heading into 2026. Award season added another layer to a busy week. Shohei Ohtani earned another unanimous MVP, and Aaron Judge secured his third after a tightly contested race. On the pitching side, Tarik Skubal won his second straight AL Cy Young Award, and Paul Skenes captured the NL honor just a year after winning Rookie of the Year — a rare progression that underscores how quickly he has become one of the league's most impactful pitchers. In Washington, the Nationals introduced Drew Butera as their new manager, making him the youngest skipper in Major League Baseball in more than 50 years. His development-focused background aligns with the organization's larger reset under Paul Toboni. The 2026 Hall of Fame ballot was also released, featuring returning candidates such as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones along with first-time names including Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp.
Hello and Welcome to the DX Corner for your weekly Dose of DX. I'm Bill, AJ8B.I can't believe that Christmas is only 40 days away. That means the CQWW CW contest is only 2 weeks away. For me, that is the pinnacle of contests for the year! Last year, I added 11 entities to my Marathon listing for 2024. I need that many and more this year to keep pace!Speaking of CQWW CW – remember that the week before and the week after a contest can really yield some great DX, much easier than it might be during the contest.Wow- was I surprised! I have had 11 listeners request the special 160M newsletter that our club put out. Last chance - you can get a copy as well by emailing me at thedxmentor@gmail.com. Each week I try to focus on those entities that will be available in the next 7 days. There is so much data to sift through that I thought a focus on the next week might be helpful Here is what you should find QRV when you tune the bands. 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, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.comHK0/A - San Andres and Providencia The Spanish operators EA7BF, EA7FPG, EA7JW, and EA7ATX have been granted licenses and official authorization by the Colombian Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications (MinTIC) to operate from San Andres Island under the call sign 5J0EA.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Just a few minutes after learning he would not be receiving the qualifying offer, Lucas Giolito returned to the podcast for another long conversation with Bradfo. The pitcher explains his thoughts on not getting a QO, what happened at the end of his 2025 season, and whether or not he would have been able to pitch in the postseason had it continued. Giolito detailed his plan for this offseason, while reflecting on some very specific memories during his time in Boston. There is, of course, plenty of movie and TV talk, as well.

Sergio Valzania"I libri della Bibbia"Edizioni La Velawww.edizionilavela.it"I libri della Bibbia"Questa collana propone i libri della Bibbia nella traduzione curata dalla CEI, in un formato agile, senza note e commenti, con l'intento di accrescerne la conoscenza e la diffusione, tra i credenti e tra quanti desiderano confrontarsi con la parola di Dio.GenesiIn “Genesi” sono comprese le storie più note dell'“Antico Testamento”. Vi si trova la creazione del mondo, compiuta da Dio in sei giorni, ai quali ne aggiunse un settimo dedicato al riposo e alla contemplazione. Ad essa fa seguito la cacciata di Adamo ed Eva dal Paradiso Terrestre. Ci sono poi l'omicidio di Abele da parte di Caino e il diluvio universale. Da Noè e dai suoi figli discende una nuova popolazione, che però ambisce a emulare Dio, attraverso la costruzione di una torre destinata a raggiungere il cielo.Qoèlet“Qoèlet” racconta di una ricerca della felicità risolta nella consapevolezza del mistero del creato, del quale apprezza la grande bellezza.Lo sconosciuto autore del libro è fiducioso nell'esistenza di una divinità creatrice, le cui motivazioni sono trascendenti, la quale «ha messo la nozione dell'eternità nel loro cuore, senza però che gli uomini possano capire l'opera compiuta da Dio dal principio alla fine». Qoèlet suggerisce con delicatezza che a tale divinità è opportuno affidarsi.Cantico dei CanticiIl titolo del libro è una forma di superlativo assoluto ebraico, che in quella lingua è possibile costruire anche sui sostantivi. In italiano suonerebbe circa come “canticissimo”. Significa il migliore dei cantici.Per gli ebrei l'amore descritto è quello tra Dio e il popolo eletto. Le interpretazioni cristiane si riferiscono alla relazione tra Cristo e la chiesa, a Maria modello eccellente della chiesa, o al rapporto spirituale tra Dio e l'anima individuale.Sergio Valzania, storico e studioso della comunicazione, docente di scienza della comunicazione presso le Università di Genova e di Siena, dal 1999 al 2009 è stato direttore di Rai Radio 2; dal 2002 al 2009 è stato inoltre direttore dei programmi di RadioRai. Tra i programmi da lui realizzati: “Viva Radio2”, “Alle 8 della Sera”, “I cammini della radio verso Santiago di Compostella” e “Sulla via Francigena”. Dal 2011 al 2015 è stato vicedirettore della struttura di RadioRai. Attualmente collabora con Radio InBlu2000, per la quale realizza “La Biblioteca di Gerusalemme”, e con le pagine culturali de “L'Osservatore Romano”. Tra i suoi ultimi libri ricordiamo: “La pace mancata. La conferenza di Parigi e le sue conseguenze” (con Franco Cardini), Milano, Mondadori, 2018; “Le guerre dell'oppio. Il primo scontro tra Occidente e Cina 1839-1842, 1856-1860”, Milano, Mondadori, 2024.

Stories are told around the fire, cause that's what people did when there was no internet…

Oh hi, welcome back to Geek Warning!There are some things to tell this week. We've had a number of changes to the pod over the past few months (sorry!), and we've got a few more to share.Ask a Wrench, which sits at the end of our episodes, is now members-only. That means you'll need to be on our member podcast feed to hear that extra part of the podcast. Meanwhile, the first hour of goodness is free for all.Additionally, you'll still hear from UK-based tech writers Suvi Loponen and Alex Hunt on occasion, just not every episode. Suvi will soon begin on a new podcast series that investigates industry-related topics. Meanwhile, you'll also hear Alex and Suvi on an upcoming and recurring special episode where we'll catch up on the bikes and gear we've been testing.With all that said, jump on in to hear Dave Rome, Ronan McLaughlin, and the return of Zach Edwards (Boulder Groupetto). Also, Brad Copeland is present at the end to answer some of your Ask a Wrench questions.The episode itself is jam-packed. The geeks offer their opinions on what the UCI's relaxed equipment ruling from four years ago are doing to bikes of today and tomorrow. They cover the details of new Shimano CUES. And talk about the realities in the durability of modern road pedals. Plus a whole lot more…Time stamps:0:00 - Changes are happening2:30 - The impact of the UCI's relaxed rules from 202119:45 - New Shimano CUES and ESSA for dropbar bikes31:00 - On our mind: Pedals should be serviceable41:35 - Ritchey ditches the World Champ rainbow46:20 - QO cranks, from the founders of Rotor48:05 - Wolf Tooth's EnCase mini pump line49:10 - A bad week for smartwatch users52:20 - CeramicSpeed has a new tool for (DUB) crank removal55:20 - State's new 4130 All-Road is very cheap57:42 - Biggest tech news for the week comes from Chris King (spoiler, it's a coffee tamper).59:22 - Tangent into our favourite tool-related bottle openers1:01:00 - Switch to the Member-Only feed if you want Ask a Wrench!1:05:00 - Modern drivetrain compatibility leading to road and MTB gravel (recorded a week before the CUES announcement, oops)1:11:00 - Sweating tubeless tyres and what to do about it.1:17:00 - Disc brake performance and bed-in when using multiple wheelsets, plus a dive into bed-in procedure.
