There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

Scoop: White House monitors suspected plague outbreak in Russia
Administration is "aware, monitoring the outbreak, and assessing options," an official told Axios.

I’ve been away much of the day, but automated weather satellite reception is working well on the Raspberry Pi 4B. Here’s a nice shot of the Bering Strait received from METEOR-M N2-3 at 2145Z. Processed as AVHRR 221 using Satdump 1.2.2. Antenna is a Wraase KX137 turnstile with preamp.

The Ham radio hobby is proving to be almost (so far) as easy to spend money as my quilting hobby. I bought my 4th radio in 6 months. It is my first above 5W. After the Dempsey Challenge and the ARES exercise it was clear that I need more power. The Yaesu 510DRASP looks fun. #hamradio #amateurradio

Good evening from amateur radio station KL2R in Two Rivers, Alaska. I did a little satellite work today. RS44 turned up a few Qs on CW and FT4. SO50 was dead quiet to my CQs. ISS SSTV got borked with rotor issues.

Why is Natalie Harp news worthy? Because she is the physical proof of Trump's medical and psychological collapse. A demented and dying POTUS is big news, and MAGA can't gloss over the fact that he requires a full time nurse to change his diapers, install his leg braces, and feed his infinite ego.

I don't like this show, I don't like the host, I only record these loons because WWCR is the only English-language station on 25 meters shortwave during the day, and the only strong station. Beth Ann has been running her show since 2010-ish and hit 4000 eps last week. archive.org/details/wwcr...

If you listen to the NA5B WebSDR, the AM band (mediumwave) receiver defaults to 1500 kHz, which because the SDR is located in the greater Washington D.C. area means you get WFED-AM, the privately-run Federal News Radio station. Bask in the bureaucracy! archive.org/details/wfed...

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
