FM band modulation always swings the wattage up.

I used to talk alot of skip on the flat side of my beam. I used a 100 watt digital linear and on side-band and the flat side it would go a long way !

Yeah who would have thought that anything could replace that feeling .... And then came the internet !

Hy- Gain DSB, (double side band/upper and lower), with the clarifier modded to slide, as well as the dial up oscillator box, I could hit alot outside of the 27MHz band.

There was (and may still be) a CB magazine named S9. It had monthly listings of those caught exceeding the limits of radio boundaries set by the FCC.

I had a copy that had my name on the list, for years, but living like a gypsy it has gotten lost.

I had 2 agents from the FCC show up at my door one day and want to see my station .... Got me a 50 dollar fine for operating illegal power and operating on illegal frequencies ...

Lost the magazine but still have pics of the station. Oh and I still have my memories, but those are subject to retention, dependent on how much older I get !

That all was over 50 years ago !

There is a lot of men's college basketball on this week. The lesser conferences have been fun to watch. Most of them are ending up today or tomorrow with the major conferences crowning their champions Saturday. I've seen lots of teams that I've never seen before or don't remember them. The skill level is less with the cream athletes going to the major colleges. They are still fun to watch and for the most part the teams are of equal ability and the games competitive. I enjoy close games and the lesser conferences often only get their championship team in the NCAA Tournament that starts next week. With bragging rights and a chance to play in the big dance, they are do or die games. For many, it will be the last organized basketball they will ever play. It's a great level of basketball to watch.

i would love anyone that has the free time to try Shizuku and Canta (need both) together to degoogle a device and converse about results and discuss if this will work with future devices

After considering the new features of the S26 Ultra, our genuine need for them and how seldom we would use them, the Darling Bride and I decided that it's not worth the $700 (with trade-in) to get the new phone. I'll wait a few weeks and see what the Moto G Stylus (2026) will offer for a far lower price.

Becoming an adult in the 1980s meant being a little child in the mid-1960s, when women were obsessed with trying to hit the "perfect" measurement: 36-24-36. They would get together for "lunch" at Woolworth's and lunch would be a lettuce leaf with a slice of pineapple on it; a scoop of cottage cheese on that, with a cherry on top; and two slices of Melba toast. That was it... and either a Tab or Fresca to drink.

yeah my grandma had those in the cottage, her name was Melba hahhaa.

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

Thanks for all your replies and advice. The thing that resolved the mp3 problem was that I deleted all the mp3 files on my SD card and transferred fresh mp3s back onto that card. I also transferred files onto my phones internal storage. Result was that both storage locations played music with no dropout or similar. So, problem solved. Thanks

After searching online, I finally succeeded in starting an AVD from command line. Share with you all.

//list all avds' name
emulator -list-avds

//start an avd with its name
emulator -avd avd_name [ {-option [value]} … ]
or
emulator @avd_name [ {-option [value]} … ]

I never heard back from the Druid society. I guess they aren't exactly interested in the invitation.
This is the blood moon from this morning. It had to be well planned and the photographer was fortunate to have clear sky.

Ok, I remember this film from when I was little.
It was inappropriate then, and still is.

It is also hilarious in inappropriate ways.

Keep your ears peeled for the jokes, they are everywhere and you wont catch them all the first time through.

CHATTERBOX!

I was watching a spring training game earlier.. I can't tell you who was playing or who won. It was just on. The catcher disputed a ball call and the ABS system popped up and showed the call was correct. They zoomed in and the ball was .01" from the low and outside corner. That's the closest I've seen.

I've managed to discover the meaning of the triangular icon:
"Data Saver setting has been activated"

Thanks to everyone who took the time to help.

This image depicts Japanese figure skater Ami Nakai reacting to her bronze medal win at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.

I think she was a bit shocked, thrilled, and honored.

vivo have begun rolling out the February 2026 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. Better late than never, it is simply the security patch and may have been delayed because of the Chinese New Year celebrations. See screenshot for details...

Even though I unfollowed this thread a couple of weeks ago, I came back to say that the "flip to shhh" feature is back. I imagine you already knew that, but I just wanted to "stop by" and mention it. Thank you.

The owner information will not change underneath about cellphone, wtf? I am so pissed off about it not having Milo and my gmail account underneath it...
