Nick, SV3DJG mailed me a very good link the other day for TS-850 related subjects. Thanks Nick!
This afternoon I’ve had a very short QSO with Ken, W3JK. I immediately noticed that Ken produces a beautiful sound on the bands. At his QRZ.com page I found a link to his own website. When you take a look over there, you understand why his sound jumps out.
By the way, not only the sound is impressive but also his shack! Ken walks you around in a YouTube movie!

This experiment is put online by Universiteit of Twente to serve several visitors of the site a receive of the 40 and 80 meter band. Incredibly cool because now you can listen on the web to 40 and 80 meters with a very nice interface that gives you a full overview of the activities on both bands!
Reading a little further on their site learns you that this experiment is setup so later on it must be possible to listen via the web to the Dwingeloo Radio Telescope which has been donated to us radio amateurs!
Every radio amateur knows its a risk, so it’s good to check how your protection against lightning strikes! K9JY did a lot of research and came up with this 3 important points. Read his article here.
