Here is the brand new Yaesu FTDX10 ham radio transceiver. This is actually tweaking my interest after playing with it. Thanks to GIgaParts.com for loaning me the radio, and this is only the first video of this unit this week. Stay tuned this weekend for the shootout side by side with another radio, using 2 identical Chameleon MPAS 2.0 antennas on the river and some of the Vero Beach club members making contacts with it.

Un chat de militares en activo defiende al grupo de los '26 millones de fusilados' porque "es el sentimiento de muchos"
LA PATATA CADA VEZ MAS GRANDE Y MAS CALIENTE.
CUANDO QUIERA ACTUAR EL MINISTERIO DE DEFENSA
YA SERA TARDE.
jl
THE BIGGER AND HOTTEST POTATO EVERY TIME.
WHEN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE WANTS TO ACT
IT WILL BE LATE.
El Ministerio de Defensa sostiene que los manifiestos militares ultraderechistas remitidos al rey Felipe VI y los chats golpistas de altos mandos retirados no afectan en absoluto al Ejército porque sus autores no están en activo. La propia ministra, Margarita Robles, respondió hace pocos días a una pregunta del diputado del PNV Joseba Andoni Agirretxea argumentando que "[ese episodio] hace referencia a unos hechos del pasado que no representan al Ejército actual".
No obstante, Público ha podido saber que hay chats de oficiales y suboficiales en activo donde se justifican aquellas proclamas golpistas y se intercambian ataques y acusaciones infundadas, así como burlas y escarnio, contra los máximos integrantes del Gobierno de coalición. En uno de ellos, al que ha accedido este diario, se defiende específicamente a los altos mandos retirados que decían desear fusilamientos masivos.
La conversación sobre el grupo de militares retirados en el que se habló de fusilar a 26 millones de personas comienza, también en WhatsApp, cuando el que se identifica como "Militar Alberto Vázquez" enlaza la fake news de un digital de extrema derecha en la que se afirma que el "topo" que alertó sobre aquel chat golpista está relacionado con el vicepresidente segundo y líder de Podemos, Pablo Iglesias. Algo que el aludido, el teniente coronel José Antonio Domínguez, ha desmentido públicamente.

Live Stream The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn
Watch it live here! after drawing visibly closer and closer in the night sky over the past few months, Jupiter and Saturn will appear the closest they have since March 4, 1226, nearly 800 years ago. They were even closer on July 16, 1623, but the pair were too close to the Sun for Renaissance era observers to see them. The Christmas Star is actually a dynamic planetary conjunction that can easily be seen in the evening sky over the next two weeks. Jupiter and Saturn will move closer to one another — which will culminate in an astronomical spectacle on the night of Dec. 21, the winter solstice. Jupiter and Saturn will come so close together in the western sky that they appear as one bright point of light when viewed with the naked eye. Though the planets will appear to overlap, Saturn and Jupiter won’t literally be close to each other, as both are massive planets — each roughly 760-1,300 times the size of Earth — and will still be hundreds of millions of miles apart.
Such an event, dubbed the “Jupiter-Saturn Great Conjunction,” occurs every 20 years. The last time this happened was in 2000, but that event paled in comparison to what is taking place this year since the planets did not appear as close together then.
It also been referred to as the “Star of Bethlehem” due to its brightness, similar to the star that is said to have guided the three wise men to Bethlehem.
Jupiter and Saturn will pass within 6 arc-minutes (0.1 degrees) or about 1/5th the diameter of the full Moon. The conjunction on February 16, 1961, was 14 arc-minutes or about 1/2 the Moon's diameter. Another sub-degree conjunction will not occur again until March 15, 2080.
How to see it
Look in the southwest around 6 p.m. They’ll be hard to miss. The pair will be above the horizon until 7:30 p.m. local. As they set, look for them to appear to move further apart a bit due to the Moon illusion.
What are conjunctions?
The technical definition is when two planets (or a moon, spacecraft, etc.) have the same right ascension, the longitude part of astronomical coordinates. The practical definition is when two objects appear very close in the sky, within a few degrees of each other.
This is measured in angular separation. The objects are of course physically very distant. Jupiter is nearly 545 million miles away, and Saturn another 456 million miles beyond that.
