Какой у нас только что был год. Ковид на марше и трансформируется в Дельту, а затем в Омикрон. Пробираясь через блокировки и локауты; ограничения, введенные, а затем снятые, затем снова захлопнулись.
Мои соболезнования тем, кто пострадал от Covid, а также тем, у кого есть семья и друзья, пострадавшие от вируса.

As the pandemic picks up speed once again and people are advised to limit their in-person social interactions, a small group of people are reaching out across the airwaves from Barrie to connect with others in a much different way.
The Barrie Amateur Radio Club has been one of the few activities that has thrived during the now two-year COVID crisis.
Formed in the 1960s, its current band of roughly 60 like-minded members are armed with dependable radio technology that has been in use for over a hundred years. And they use the equipment not just for the social aspect, but also to fulfil a need if called upon

In 2017, a powerful radio transmission was aimed at exoplanet GJ 273b, thought to be able to support life. Its message, sent by the alien-hunting group Messaging Extra-terrestrial Intelligence International, contained instructions on how to understand Earthling math, music and time. If it lands on intelligent alien ears once it arrives in about a decade, E.T. now has our number.
Space transmissions hoping to attract an alien response have been going out since 1962, when Soviet scientists sent a message in Morse code to the planet Venus in the first attempt at intergalactic communication.

After discussing the notion that it's not really possible to determine how your gear is performing without measuring, several people commented that in the good old days an amateur was expected to have sufficient equipment to test performance of their gear.
I flippantly pointed out that once upon a time, computers ran on punch cards too. That's not to dismiss the notion of testing, but rather that times have changed. Testing equipment that was suitable in the 1980's is still available around the place, but expect to pay for it. Some of it is still relevant, some less so.
Even if you do acquire suitable equipment, how do you know if what you're measuring is real? How do you k

George Gorsline, VE3YV, Secretary of IARU Region 2 has issued a year-end message on behalf of the Executive Committee
A bright spot in an otherwise challenging year is that our shared passion of amateur radio is growing stronger. The increase in on-the-air activityhas been noticeable, especially on the HF bands. Driven by reawakening solar activity and the rapid adoption of digital modes such as FT8, the bands are active, not just during evenings and weekends, but also during "normal” working
