    Once again I want to thank you all for your messages...and my plans to call in again were somewhat delayed as Mum comes first.. So ..let me tell you where we are at. In truth I thought she had passed on Saturday as she slept in a very deep sleep for 24 hours.. I couldn't rouse her to even get...

    Hi to all my friends on Sats UK.. I had a visit today from Alex who had work commitments up my way so took that opportunity to collect an old but hi end VCR he sent for me to repair some time ago. Sadly we didn't have much time to catch up on account of the limited time I have these days looking...

    Yes indeed ..apparently sent when the key was dispatched.. Debbie kindly sent it to me again this morning.. The relevant email should start... ' I am pleased to inform you that your EUMETCast Client Software and EUMETCast Key Unit will be dispatched to you today, via courier. '

    AM radio station list

    I recently took posession of an HF3 small communications receiver.. Nowhere near as sensitive as my old WW2 CR100 ...but it does theoretically go lower than the CR100s 60khz. ..all the way to 30khz .. VLF Why would I want to go this low you may ask ...submarine coms ... and although there are...

    Being British

    Hmm you forgot casting a vote for something ...being in the winning majority...having your choice dismissed as stupidity...vowing never to raise your head above the parapet again ...crawling back under your stone amid derisory jeers...and getting frustrated trying to untangle the strings...

    Eumetsat station build

    My TBS5927 arrived ahead of schedule .. Another piece of the puzzle. No driver CD included in the box ..so I guess I gotta go to their website for those. many manufacturers not including any software/drivers or indeed instructions these days.. cheapskates..or sign of the times ? I guesss they...

An update to my build.. wondering about the integrated graffix on the 990 .. will in be sufficient ? Sadly I only have one slot available .. blue slot PCIe presumably x16 ? but of course am limited...

    Real or fake ?

    More antigrav fun .. ..and yes I do believe in the electrostatic principle of lift. This is a variant of TT Browns lift principle and is based on research and principles that have been known for over 50 years. Obviously this is very lightweight by comparison to Alexey's lift craft..but...

    My dedicated PC is built .. The optiplex 990 core i5 3.1ghz with 8gb ram .. I managed to get win7 64bit OS in there ... sadly only takes a single hard drive ..so opted for a 2tb drive partition for the OS at 300gb ...and nearly 1.6gb data partition. ... Got Digi247 (Ged) coming next week to...
