FCC gives a great Yule Tide present….

Amateur Radio enthusiasts here in the U.S. were given a gift from the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC has produced an Report and Order (R&O) for WT Docket 05-235, the “Morse code” proceeding.

In the R&O, they explain how they came to the conclusion how morse code was no longer needed to show an operator’s technical proficiencies. Also, the Commission has refuted a long held notion that morse code was needed to “weed out” bad operators. There is no proof, and never has been. You can read about it all in the linked article. :)

New Year, New Me….

Ok, it’s time to hit the diet again. I now weigh more than I ever have, and the sad part about it is I don’t even need a scale to know this. So beginning January 2nd, 2007, I’m going back on low carb. I get to enjoy all the things I did before…. Meat, meat, and more meat. lol! Oh, I know, I’ve gotta throw in some leafy greens too! It should stick this time. I can’t wait to be able to at least walk for a distance. Not only that, but I think it would minimize my risk of ending up like my father, who died of heart issues and brain damage as a result. Not really the kind of death I want to have really.
