  1. I’ve listened to about four conversations over ham radio. It’s just super casual stuff. Debating the merits of various tomato varieties or how to use a big green egg grill in grilling.
    One though, was about the vast reach of a specific repeater on grassy Mountain in Chatsworth Georgia.
    That is the second highest mountain in Georgia. And this repeater is near the top. I like locating where repeaters are, then looking at the topo map of the area.

  2. Well tonight was a big step. I used my technician license for the first time by pressing transmit on my radio.
    I checked into the Cherokee amateur radio society net here in Cherokee County Georgia. It is my most local club.
    Though I am in range of several clubs here.
    The next local hamfest will be in August over in Huntsville, Alabama.

  3. In #georgia the gas tax suspension runs out next Wednesday. So if you still burn gas, may as well buy it before then and save 34 cents a gallon.

  4. /3 -

    Those particular rules haven't changed as far as I know, though many still seem to be pending on Georgia's government website (no doubt being fixed up now after Governor Kemp quietly signed the voting rule changes into law on Tuesday). The current rule of how the candidates are listed on the ballots only helps Republicans, so I don't know why it would change at this time.

  6. /2 - Of course it could only help Republicans —

    who are listed at the top of ballots (except in primaries and special elections) because of an elections rule where the name of the candidate who is of the same party as the current governor is shown at the top.

    Voters who haven't researched candidates might just pick the most prominent one at the top of the list.

  8. So I am sitting on the front porch, trying to get some estate stuff accomplished. And listening on my ham radio to two guys out of Stone Mountain talking about the finer points of grilling on a Big Green Egg. (it’s a snazzy type of Charcoal grill.) This guy comes along and tries to tempt me away from my chores.

  13. Ein #Rechenzentrum nahe #Atlanta entnahm rund 110 Millionen Liter #Wasser, ohne dass Behörden dies bemerkten.

    Erst Beschwerden über niedrigen Wasserdruck während einer #Dürre führten zur Aufdeckung. Der Betreiber QTS beglich nachträglich Gebühren, Strafzahlungen blieben aus.
