    Orby Terrestrial Antennas...

    Side note here. If the antennas shipped with OrbyTV show up available on the secondary market, they're decent within reasonable range. I was pleasantly surprised. We installed one rather "loosely" on the south side of our radio station. When you consider: 1) It's under nearly 5kw of AM daytime...

    Better now than in winter! Motor Drive nuts!

    Last night we had strong storms in our area, which never bother my equipment. Either last night was the exception, or my positioner for the one actively motorized Birdview lost it's marbles. The picture you see was kind of interesting. My RING security camera woke me during a strong 'bout of...

    Ring's new stick up camera impresses! (brief unsolicited review)

    There's plenty of video doorbells now. Plenty of video security or surveillance equipment for home. I've enjoyed my RING brand doorbell, but wanted one more camera. Not a camera with a spotlight, not a wireless camera, and not needing recharging. The earlier RING stick-up cameras either needed...

    SATELLITE HISTORY (that never happened)

    I'll add to this as I have time... Paul M, who gave me my 5th Birdview satellite system last year was cleaning his house, and found some old docs about Birdview. None were really "technical" but, wow, they bring back memories. Birdview used to send nice slick heavy-stock promotional color...

    Final Tune-ups today..then "Smooth Sailing"...

    we hope! Thursday on WION may be an "on again off again" day. Let us tell you why: For everything we do to improve, there's an equal rule or regulation we have to follow. In improving the FM, we have to measure our AM under "night" low power, and readjust the towers back to their FCC licensed...

    Movie Sequels...Good, Bad, Should've, Shoudn't Have..

    So, a couple nights back, Jim Carlyle rented a movie from Amazon, a sequel to a favorite, ("The Man From Earth") and the sequel was disappointing at best, coloring the main character as a darker person at the movie's end. It also included some incredibly average acting, though the idea OF a...
