3 satellite QSOs via the International Space Station
Satellite hunting on Regent's Canal, with a nice coffee while reading my book. Another successful day hunting satellites today. This time I managed 3 QSOs via the International Space Station, ISS. Thanks to MM9SQL (Peter, the developer of Cloudlog), G0BIH, and PD1B. Thanks all, 73s.https://www.runningwithbulls.com/2026/04/3-satellite-qsos-via-the-international-space-station/

Join us tonight as we reflect on that often under-appreciated companion to the canals, the humble towpath. We uncover its vital importance in the past and how in, recent years, its relationship with the canal has been changing. We also meet up again with E. Temple Thurston and the good captain Eynsham Harry as the meet a figure of the forgotten past.

Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.#Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.
A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators
I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
(wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat. -

It's a blustery, moonless night—perfect for some cozy listening. Join us tonight on the Erica as we reminisce about the inconsequential things that bring so much joy and provide such important anchor points to our lives.

Yes, #narrowboats have tillers. That means that anyone with any experience of boats can steer it with ease. Stand at the back. Push the tiller to the right and the stern moves to the right - and you can see it's going to the right. (Just like the trolleys you get at garden centres with fixed wheels at the front and casters at the back)Compare that with the cruiser you'll hire on the Norfolk Broads. Many of them have a single level cabin, no wheelhouse, no flybridge - there's bridges with 8ft clearance or less to get under. They'll have wheel steering in the saloon in the bows. That's when things get complicated!

I'm always trying to capture the theme in the week before, this one is from Friday.
Narrowboats shining in the setting sun

Made it - just!! Managed to record a quick Summer Readings episode. At a time when many of us on the canals are feeling the strain of today’s network, it is good to be reminded of just how far we’ve come — and of the grit and vision of those who fought for the future of our waterways. Tonight we listen to Tom Rolt’s account of his journey up the Stratford (North) and the ‘battle for Bridge Number 1 (Lifford Lane).'
