Are you happy?

Happiness makes the day go better and engages the soul. How many Americans are really happy? Certainly, gas costs more, groceries cost more, the heat is almost unbearable, and we don't know if Iran will bomb California or the Cascadia sub-duction will suck the west coast into the ocean. Are these current issues conducive to happiness? That answer seems akin to brown shoes with a tuxedo. We all know where the blame rests and the mid-terms give us all a chance to vote our feelings. 

The Risk of Power.

 What happens when the faithful lose faith?

We don't know the result but now it is time to pop more popcorn as the interesting part of the plot is about to unfold.

Do You Still Believe Trump?

Sometimes you have to ask yourself the hard questions especially if you voted for Trump.

1.  Do you still believe in Trump?

It is a simple binary answer and needs no further explanation.

End of the Line.

Life is too short and the Blog of late has consumed a lot of my energy and time. But no more.

Thanks for riding along and hopefully we will all survive 2026.

I will leave the past posts on the blog for about two weeks and then all will be removed. 

Pat Boone, early in his career shared some advice given to him by Bing Crosby. The story goes Crosby said to Boone, Kid don't stay on too long. I have stayed on too long.

The new face of the Ham Radio Operator

 

The Melding of Ham Radio & Social Media

A blog reader sent me this video, and I thought the proud, the few and the brave N6QW blog readers would like to see this. The "Glam Ham" is out here on the left coast and is the new face of a ham radio operator. 

She is an Extra and has some very nice higher end station equipment. This video is live streamed, and the call signs mentioned are DX calls and quite a following. I surmise she has a lot of stick time behind the mic as she mentions at one time being a commercial disc jockey. 

There did not appear to be any home-grown rigs in her shack and certainly in line with the very large majority of today's hams. But with certainty a good ambassador for our beloved hobby.

Them that know, survive. Tomorrow is Easter and I pray for the safety of our troops who are in harm's way.
