Pinko / Commie

Pinko is a slang term coined in 1925 in the United States to describe a person regarded as being sympathetic to communism, though not necessarily a Communist Party member. It has since come to be used, derogatorily, to describe anyone perceived to have leftist or socialist sympathies.

Kenwood TS-130V QRP

I have had this radio about a year but the VFO was defective. I bought a VFO but it was for a 120 and would not work. Months went by before I found another one and this one was for a 130. I installed it and it now tunes like it should. Another problem was the dial light was out and after reading in a 130  forum I learned where to order a replacement LED. It arrived and the radio was disassembled and the LED inserted where the condesant one was. The covers were put on, the power switch flipped, and we now have a light green dial light. This weekend was the CQ magazine's world wide SSB contest and the bands were wide open. I worked several countries all over Europe with only 10 watts of power. Tons of QRM but all stations heard were contacted. Yes I did have to call some of them 3 or 4 times. I used 10 and 20 meters with my triband beam antenna. This radio has a grate receiver and good out going audio. I guess its a keeper.

Hacked again

Three of my domains were hacked Friday night. The hacker was very good at what he does as he inserted HTML code into the normal code of the page. The code he inserted brought pop-up windows with advertising. I would guess if someone clicked on the pop-up he would get paid a few cents. The code was very hard to find and remove so I decided to just overwrite the index files from my backups. A real pain in the butt taking about an hour to fix the damage he caused. Now I ask you, what kind of a jerk hacks into a funeral home page ?

All good thing must come to an end

REMC turned my electric off for about 5 seconds and when it came back on my video on the mother board was fried. The operating system was XP and the new computer has Winows 7. Lots of the programs that ran perfect on XP will not run at all on Windows 7. That said, no more scanner audio and the Web cam will drop to one image. Oh did i say I have to buy a new laser printer because HP will not code a driver for Windows 7. My Ham Radio logging program will run but I lost an ARRL signature file. I had to reinstall about 2500 records. As I type this I am waiting on the copy of the old C drive to the new D drive. I have several other programs to install yet. I have a torn mussel in my back and shoulder and can only work for just a few minutes at a time. I guess it will all work out, it will just take lots of time... Jack
Update
I have installed 2 new uninterrupted power sours (UPS) - they will protect from power spikes and outages in the future.

If all the Jews had a weapon such as a pistol, rifle, or shotgun how do you think the Holocaust would have turned out ? Join the NRA today and buy a gun - you may need it.
