Handy Haversack:

I use a marine radio frequently, and you get to hear some pretty nutty things on it since it can pick up the whole harbor, if the broadcasting transmitter is strong enough -- and ocean-going ships have *powerful* transmitters. And, you know, tend to come from all sorts of places.

Well, all sorts of coastal places.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:59pm
Handy Haversack:

Wow, mariano, bookmarked that site for later messing about!

@TDK60: you know, I don't know! The marine radio uses a bunch of dedicated channels. There are three regions: US/Canada/ROW. And in each region certain channels have specific designations and restrictions (e.g., channel 16 in the U.S. is the Coast Guard's; in NY Harbor, channel 13 is used for bridge-to-bridge communication; in most other places, channel 9).

I would think on shortwave you'd be more likely to get the NWS marine weather broadcasts, which is a whole separate band on the receiver.

I don't know enough about shortwave to answer any better than that, I think, but I will look through my radio's instructions to see if that can shed any light!

Handy - that shortwave site is crazy, especially once you start messing with the controls. You're liable to get Col. Kurtz narrating his latest nightmare, lol! Plus you can record.

OMG so glad I happened to glance over here when you mentioned that shortwave site @TDK60! That is the weird shit I need!

Crud. I haven't listened in a long while. I think it's just one person's digest.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 5:11pm
Handy Haversack:

@mariano I had it playing on top of this track for several minutes before I realized that *two* tabs were making sounds!

Uh, apparently I really enjoy static.

Talk about muddy speaking ghosts through my machine!

Heya Fabs and people of the drone. Being an essential worker is not worth it. At any price.

Working from home for 3 weeks (so far), & having no more free or creative time than before. Funny.

Realizing of course it's a bit privilege to be employed at all.

I hear you, Rev.

Rev Turnip Druid - feeling you on both counts.

Yeah, too easy to sit at the desk and just keep going, esp. when IM is enabled. I'm shutting down in another hour. Handy is like at least two beers ahead of me by now.

Now off to start dinner prep - have a good evening everyone.

You're probably tired of hearing this Carmichael, but you're doing really important work and we all owe you our gratitude. Take care Mick, have a good dinner.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:37pm

Eat well, Mick. I have been working the polenta pretty hard. Finally got it stiff enough to make oven fries with it.

Thanks Mariano, this is the only venue where I get any thanks. Otherwise, it's "work faster".

What is your bag @Carmichael, I only know you are a boarder of long standing. Are you stocking groceries or fixing plumbing or pushing gurneys around or
Avatar 🎸 5:40pm

On the plus side, this means working from home office which is the studio space, which means FMU on the monitors as loud as I damn-well-please...

Thank you for scratching & scrounging @Carmichael. I have been tapped to print some prototype stuff for a local hospital - did that. a buddy of mine signed up with an org that coordinating that kind of stuff. I'm happy to do it... but god it would be so much more efficient & effective to just, y'know, spend some fuckin tax money on the factories that build this shit for real.
