Je revois mon jugement. #RingsOfPower est une bonne série. Tu assistes quand même, dans la s1, à (SPOILERS) la naissance du Mordor, la révélation de Sauron et bcp de hints sur Gandalf.
Il faut juste sauter les passages sur les Harfoot dans les 4 ou 5 1ers épisodes.

KD5ZZU’s very elegant build of “Old Barebones” – a Z-match tuner
Back in October 2024 I wrote a post with the title “Old Barebones” – A QRP Z-match Builder Project. The project’s purpose was to construct a simplified version of the Norcal Z-match tuner (which I also owned) to use with my QRP Labs QMX transceiver. The Norcal tuner included some features that I simply did not need – such as balanced transmission line terminals, a simple LED SWR indicator and three switches (Balanced line/BNC, Tune/Operate, High/Low impedance). The schematic was copied from the Norcal tuner – a superb design that I didn’t think I could improve. The end result was a very simple device with three BNC connectors, a toroidal inductor and two polyvaricons, all packaged in a small Amazonian plastic enclosure. Alright, it is an ugly device mainly due to the inelegant knobs I chose to use. But it works very well indeed and has become my main QRP portable antenna matching unit. Heck, it cost me a big fat nothing to build thanks to my extensive junque box stocked from years spent hoarding miscellaneous bits and pieces. When I have finished twiddling the knobs I can always put my hat over it to hide its lack of elegance.
Then, out of the blue, I received an email from Mallory KD5ZZU who expressed an interest in building her own version of “Old Barebones”. Mallory queried whether the design would work on the high bands. I had only tested mine on 20m, 30m and 40m, so I hooked it up to my home 80m EFHW and my portable 13ft tripod vertical antennas to test whether a low SWR could be achieved with Old Barebones on 17m, 15m 12m and 10m. Fortunately Old Barebones did a splendid job on both antennas so Mallory took the plunge and built her own version.
Note: My 80m EFHW (End-Fed Half Wave) is used primarily on 80m but is also useful on 40m and 20m. Using a tuner to obtain a low SWR on the higher bands protects the radio from high SWR but does not imply that the antenna is useful on those bands.
Mallory experienced a hitch in the construction though. Her first build did not function as expected and she asked for ideas on what to look for to resolve the problem. It turned out to be the connections to the polyvaricons that were the problem. Polyvaricons often have several sets of vanes and multiple connection points. I had used a capacitance meter to identify the correct connections in my original build. Realizing this may be the problem, Mallory quickly identified the correct connections and got her tuner working. She wrote that she was able to achieve a nice low SWR on all bands from 20m to 10m with her 71ft EFRW and 9:1 unun. A great result.
But Mallory doesn’t need to cover her version of Old Barebones with a hat to disguise its appearance. It is a beautiful design built into a custom 3D printed case with 3D printed knobs and looks terrific.
If anyone else is interested in building this simple construction project Mallory has kindly provided links to an online source for the parts and the 3D print files:

A note on the use of Old Barebones
I designed Old Barebones for use with my QRP Labs QMX transceiver which has a convenient “Tune SWR” feature that reduces the output power to 25% to reduce the stress of high SWR on its delicate finals during the tuning process. I have also used Old Barebones with my Yaesu FT-817 but I manually reduce the power to 1 watt or less during tuning. If using Old Barebones with any radio that does not have an SWR indicator I recommend incorporating an SWR indicator in the tuner circuit similar to the original Norcal BLT design.
Polyvaricons?
The word “polyvaricon” is presumably a contraction of “Polymer Variable Condenser” meaning a plastic enclosed variable capacitor using a plastic dielectric. It is believed to be the trademark of a Japanese company that manufactures these devices. But shouldn’t it be called a “polyvaricap”. I remember back in the dawn of my existence that capacitors were called “condensors” but that term disappeared a long time ago. Strange old world.
What is a Z-match?
“Antenna tuners” are often named after their topology. For example, an L-match comprises a series inductor or capacitor and a complementary parallel capacitor or inductor. The combination of inductor and capacitor forms an “L” shape. However, there is no immediately apparent “Z” shape to the components in a Z-match, so I presume the “Z” refers to impedance. Let me know in the comments if I am wrong.
Pros and Cons of the Z-match
From the GQRP organization in the UK:
Advantages of the Z-Match
- Matches balanced loads without the use of lossy baluns.
- Being a parallel resonant circuit, the Z-match can provide some band-pass filtering for your receiver and harmonic attenuation for your transmitter.
- A well-designed Z-match tuner has a high Q and is more efficient (less lossy) than other types of tuners.
- The fixed inductor simplifies construction (no switches or rollers needed).
Disadvantages of the Z-Match
- Tuning is usually very narrow and can be a bit touchy sometimes to tune up
Thanks again to Mallory KD5ZZU for sharing her build with Ham Radio Outside the Box and congratulations Mallory for turning my original inelegant build into something with class!

It's Thursday so I've been on my usual Wednesday bike ride.
At 41.4km this is the furthest I've ridden in one go since March 2017.
My quest for fitness continues - I suppose I should have been grateful for the headwind on this ride, but it made it hard work, particularly on the hilly bits!I discovered a handy new coffee place in Kirby Mallory 👍
I'm still pondering entering my 50km DIY #AudaxUK ride next week. 🤔

Book Review: Sliders: The Novel by Brad Linaweaver
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today is Friday, and it’s time for another review. This week, I’m sharing my review of the novel adaptation of Sliders by Brad Linaweaver.
Sliders: The Novel was published in 1996 by Berkley and is 234 pages long.
The Plot
Sliders: The Novel is an engaging companion to the 1990s science fiction TV series Sliders, which introduces us to Quinn Mallory, a brilliant young physics student who invents a device that allows him to “slide” to parallel Earths. But, as you’d probably guess, things don’t go according to plan. Along with his motley crew, Quinn finds himself stuck on one of these earths when the device malfunctions.Characters
Quinn Mallory
Quinn Mallory is the idealistic yet awkward inventor at the centre of the plot. His curiosity and ingenuity drive the plot, but his self-doubt and guilt over stranding the group make him an extremely relatable protagonist.Wade Wells
Wad brings heart to the team. She’s resourceful, determined, and doesn’t shy away from calling the others out when needed. She is given much more depth in the book. She’s not just the moral compass but also a source of quiet strength when others falter.Professor Maximilian Arturo
Professor Arturo is the quintessential gruff but lovable mentor. His dry humour and scepticism provide a juxtaposition to Quinn’s youthful optimism.Along with Wade, Arturo also often serves as the book’s moral compass, and his unwavering intellect is crucial to the group’s survival.Rembrandt “Crying Man” Brown
Rembrandt is the group’s reluctant participant, providing much of the novel’s comic relief. However, Linaweaver also explores his adjustment to the surreal circumstances, adding layers to his character.Writing Style
I’ll admit, going into this book, I had my reservations. Sometimes, TV show or film novel adaptations can be terrible (I’m lookin’ at you, Grease) and full of bits of nonsensical plot or actions a character would never do.Sliders was one of the shows my family gathered to watch each week, and it holds a special nostalgic place in my heart. So, feeling a little trepidation, I started this book with high hopes, which were fulfilled for the most part.
Linaweaver’s writing is straightforward and pulls you right into the story. He translates the episodic nature of the TV show into novel form with great effect, and his descriptions of the characters and the three parallel Earths they visit bring the story to life wonderfully.
Speaking of the characters, I was glad to find that they remained faithful to their TV counterparts, especially in terms of their dialogue and personalities, and each of their internal monologues provides new layers to them, making their struggles and triumphs more compelling, adding depth to the overall story.
With all that said, there were moments where I felt the pacing was a bit off — certain chapters dragged a bit, while others rushed through exciting plot points without giving them the space they deserved. Still, those are minor complaints in the grand scheme of things, and it only detracted from the story a little.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I think the novel succeeds in its ability to tell the story of how the Sliders got off on their journey, and it is a good story, but I do think it is of its time. Actually, I think it’s ripe for a reboot. I wonder where the characters are today.So, whether you’re a longtime fan of Sliders or someone looking for their next sci-fi adventure, this novel will surely entertain. Now I’m curious — what parallel universe would you want to visit if you had the choice? Leave a comment and let me know!
I am giving Sliders a 6/10
Have you read Sliders? What did you think?
Thank you, as ever, for stopping by to read my review!
Until next time,
George

Please note: even though I despise #spammers and truly believe that spamming demonstrates a fundamental ethical gap which is probably not fillable, I expect to be voting for the 2 #MIDEMS who have spammed my phone in the general election. Maybe even in primaries. BECAUSE POLITICS IS NOT PROPERLY ABOUT MESSIAHS.
Christina Hines and Mallory McMorrow aren't good people. They're politicians, so this was known. They are spammers, which is a norm these days for politicians.

Oh, this is a bummer. Even though I didn't agree with everything she did (sometimes to her face, lol), I think it is SO important to have parents of children who attend regular neighborhood schools – and support them – on the school board in #PHLed. https://www.inquirer.com/education/mallory-fix-lopez-philadelphia-school-board-resign-20240304.html

#WordWeavers Nov 7: What community or group does your MC belong to?
Caleb is unabashedly queer, trans, and bisexual. He also runs a support group for trans and nonbinary folks to give back to the community. He’s also involved in the kink community.
Mallory is bisexual and a late-diagnosed ADHDer. Both identities are defining and important to her. She is kinky but is only starting to get into the community with Caleb.

Thank you Nick @npd and @mallory for your clear article on #SDWAN and #netNeutrality.
I would stress one of your points:
Applying #serviceLevels in poor areas may flatten best-effort traffic, resulting in low #internet quality for the many.
(Poor areas is my gross approximation for where the circuits are small. We may also consider "sparse" areas where the circuits are rare.)Fair quality may remain in the central region of Western Europe:

Sign Petition - #Scholars in #solidarity with Cuba
https://www.change.org/p/scholars-in-solidarity-with-cuba-300f8363-2669-4c78-b6fd-7d1d42fcbdd7As scholars from around the world, we unite to condemn the #US government’s ‘maximum pressure’ policy aimed at starving the Cuban people into submission. We defend #Cuba’s right to self-determination, including the right to pursue a socialist development path. We oppose the #Trump administration’s declaration of a ‘national emergency’, its threats of tariffs against countries sending #oil to Cuba, and the absurd claim that Cuba threatens US national security. The impact is already visible with hospitals and universities closing, and industry, agriculture and transport in crisis...
The policy’s objective, laid out in a 1960 memorandum by US diplomat Lester Mallory titled ‘The Decline and Fall of Castro’, is to use economic warfare ‘to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government’. This constitutes collective punishment, illegal under international law.

Bref, ça va pas. Et je n'ai plus la force de faire semblant d'aller bien. C'est pour ça que je poste ici où personne ne me lit, pq sur Insta FB tu ne dois montrer que le positif. La vie n'est pas faite que de positif. Il y a bcp de négatif aussi.
J'ai coupé la suite pq ça devenait politique. Mais globalement, je me dis qu'il ne manque plus qu'une invasion alien pour parfaire le tableau.
Sauf qu'ils ne sont pas cons,.les aliens.
