G4ILO's Blog: December 2013
http://blog.g4ilo.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 24, 2013. The tranquility of my morning was disturbed by receiving an email "Disk Usage Warning" from the web hosting service for the g4ilo.com. This was worrying as I had not made any significant changes to the site for several months. I was concerned that hackers might have found a way to upload files to the server so that it was serving porn or some other equally objectional stuff. It was fine maintaining and supporting a website when my mind was sharp and my eyesight good. But I...

Sunday, June 15, 2014. Shack in a bed. The Elekraft KX3 has become my shack in the bed. It is connected to the antenna using 10 m cable from eBay. Olga takes radio upstairs to charge batteries. I wish the charger had a tricle charge so we could leave radio connected to power continuously. Sunday, June 15, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. One Foot in the Grave.

G4ILO's Blog: 11 August Beacons of hope

Monday, August 11, 2014. 11 August Beacons of hope. Unenthralled by the prospect of a life lived in bed, hoisted from pillow to pot, I have allowed myself to believe that I'm not going to "beat the bugger", in other words survive the tumour with sufficient faculties intackt to lead a normal life. I have decided to leave my whissper beacons running for as long as I'm capable to supervise them. Monday, August 11, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

G4ILO's Blog: January 2014
http://blog.g4ilo.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. I watching a wildlife programme on TV the other day which had a feature about urban foxes. The naturalists had fitted radio collars to some of the foxes and were able to track them over a wide area.One fox went off on a trek that lasted a couple of weeks and covered a distance of several kilometres. In another programme radios have been attached to larger birds such as geese and ospreys to track their migration paths. I wonder what frequency is used? Sunday, January 26, 2014.
