Red Red Wine - Neil Diamond

When I was "into" 2-way radio is when I really got an understanding of "frequencies"

My radio was an AM/FM/Sideband with a Radio frequency oscillator to dial up every feak one KHz at a time. I used a frequency meter to tell me where I was at when I was off the 23/40 channels of CB band, (27 MHz) I had a radio operator in the Panama Canal Zone ask me if I knew I was on a Government frequency and I tole him yeah I know .... lol ... We talked for a few minutes every morning.

Along with all the bands assigned for usage there is polarity such as the antennas. 360° ground plane antenna and beam antennas which have a vertical side and a horizontal side.

Then things took a radical turn when the digital age came upon us ... Analog was a thing of the past. Digital brought the ability to "trunk" banks and the govt removed the cell phone banks from the 800 band and they were no longer accessible with a crystal scanner. Actually with the progression of the digital radio, the old crystal scanners became obsolete.

Used to be one could monitor police and such until they started moving the frequencies to avoid big ears ....

The city popo here have a very sophisticated radio system that does not allow outsides to hear any transmission from a police unit, the dispatchers office can be heard but car to car and car to dispatch is not accessible.

Most big cities have moved to the "trunking" systems as this allows communications between all agencies in the area.

I filled up the car right after them bombing started, the next week prices were 50¢ a gallon higher !

BBS, (the Harley) runs on premium, guess I will not be riding too much until this is over.

If you find a 10mm 3/8ths drive socket on a 3/8ths drive ratchet let me know. I misplaced mine awhile back and got no clue where I laid it down at ....

For the first time, this year, it seems that I noticed that there was still some líght in the sky until after about 6:30, last night. Don't get me wrong here, I like a later sunset and at my age I don't have to be anywhere in the mornings any longer. But back when we had to get the kids out to school, in the dark, was almost as stressful as having a sunset at 5.30 in the evening.

It is currently 37° and partly cloudy. It is to reach the low fifties today with NNW winds nearing 20mph. Tomorrow promises to be a warmer day but the March winds will persist.

A bit esoteric, perhaps, but I at least found this interesting.

This one slipped by us all, which seems surprising, at least to me.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson passed away on February 17; he was 84. He was at so many turning points in the fight for civil rights you can't even think of him or the topic separately.

RIP, Rev. Jackson, and thanks for your efforts for so much of your life. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

I bet Ben Affleck never in his wildest imagination thought he might get the opportunity to make a sequel to ARGO...

see, this right here is why you are having this issue.

i too have a low end device, as all of mine have been from the beginning.

i had the same problems as you for the same reasons, and over time i found a solution.

the solution is free even.

and here you won't even give it a try.

computers have killed off the fun in everything i enjoyed in life, and even when i find a workaround, nobody is interested in the least because even if a priblem gets solved there will always be another problem anyway because of computers

and as frustrated as you are/were with this issue, can you imagine MY frustration at having found a solution and even someone with the same problem could care less

just more wasted effort on my part, like everything else i do

someone here recently told me that i must be one of those folks who sees the glass as half empty instead of half full...
well, the swimming pool on the Titanic is still full
