  1. @redcrew i told the republican booth "i DO NOT appreciate you!" but conversed with them for a few minutes (in a friendly way). one of them asked what the republican party would have to do to get my support and i didn't even know where to start. we found no common ground, none whatsoever. not #SOFUN

  2. @redcrew i wandered the art fair for an hour today, smiled/nodded/greeted so many artists, expressed my admiration, chatted with a few, etc. it was really fun and cheaper than therapy! i bought nothing ... but i woulda!

    later i spent an hour on the non-profit block, listening to earnest people pitching deeply held convictions & sharing my beliefs. i love the communists, the workers party, VNP, even the DSA and the Dems! and turned down SO MANY bibles and qurans, but in a friendly way. #SOFUN

  3. Washtenaw County siren test net today. About two dozen radio amateurs each assigned a siren, at noon the test runs, we report back correct or incorrect operations.

    In most tests early in the season there are one or two sirens misbehaving or in need of tree trimming.

    The test net is coordinated by Washtenaw ARPSC and the county EOC. City of Ann Arbor sirens are tested on a different schedule and without a similar volunteer monitoring system.

    Sirens! #sofun

  5. sumo day is over and it was #SOFUN

    exiting was a zoo, though

  6. Successfully worked the Washtenaw County Michigan siren test net bicycle mobile. I took the Stein Road siren which is adjacent to the Barton Hills County Club. Next time I will go to the same siren as a companion of someone in the club and do the test from the fairway.

    Siren is at grid EN82ch78XW in Ann Arbor Township, #N8DUY #skywarn repeater is in Scio Township at I-94 and M-14

    Signal reports were "good, strong signal" from my HT.

  7. i just bought front row balcony tix to 12th night on oct 8 at the festival theatre in stratford ontario and fifth row orchestra seats for romeo & juliet on oct 9

    #SOFUN planning our next trip!

  8. We took a fast trip to nearby Rosolini to shelf surf the pharmacy (which is #SoFun when abroad, I mean it!) and stumbled upon the Chiesa Madre de San Giuseppe, a mid 19th century church in the Sicilian Baroque style

  9. Monthly siren test report for April for Washtenaw County (excluding Ann Arbor, which has its own separate set of sirens)

    15 listeners
    2 sirens not sounding at all
    1 siren needing maintenance (grinding sounds from gearbox)

    The net ran about 30 minutes + the 15 minutes each way to get to the siren I was assigned to. Mine was fine (good loud sound, it rotated just fine, no need for maintenance).

    Thanks to #N8DUY for the use of the repeater.

    Sounds like fun! I'll try to check in on Echolink K8BF-L some time after 1000a.

    The radio fun here in Ann Arbor / Washtenaw County is the ARPSC monthly siren test, I'll be watching and listening for an activation of a siren at noon. No time like the present to test these things as we have already had severe weather in February. Activation at noon, call-up at 1130a on N8DUY 145.15-

  12. My new #Quansheng radios can monitor - not transmit, fortunately - the air band and decode AM.

    I was able to pick up ATIS (automated weather) on 134.550 MHz at KARB, the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport, from home (if I hold the radio just so). I'm sure it would be better outside.

  13. Call up for the siren test net on #N8DUY 145.15- for the Washtenaw County Michigan emergency warning sirens. Sirens will activate throughout the county (except for the city of Ann Arbor) at noon.

    This is the #skywarn repeater here.

    Coincidentally there is also a University of Michigan football game starting at noon, with a planned overflight of some high performance aircraft.

    there’s a silent disco — about 50 young people crowded along a sidewalk, all wearing headphones and dancing — across the street at the mead bar that looks #SOFUN!

  15. Washtenaw County siren test net in progress, monitoring #N8DUY repeater 145.15- Ann Arbor, activation noon on first Saturday of the month (approximately now).
